ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi .. I have been coming in to Thailand on a visa exempt ( 60 days) . Each time , my stay duration is from a week to 45 days . Never overstayed . I will be applying for a non O ( 3 months + 12 ) and bank account using an agency in Bangkok the next time I fly into Thailand . However , that would be my 7 visa exempt entry this year , and slightly less than 180 days in total . I was told I would not be allowed in . Can anyone confirm this? I have also bought return tickets which i won’t be using once my non O is finalized . Can someone who has experienced going into Thailand more than 6 times in a year , tell me their experience and how I should deal with it .

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is concerned about the possibility of being denied entry into Thailand after their seventh visa exempt entry within a year, despite never overstaying. Other commenters shared mixed experiences, with some recommending obtaining a Non-O visa before arriving and highlighting that immigration officers may take multiple entries into account. Suggestions also included ensuring the reliability of the agency handling the visa application, and some shared their own experiences of frequent entries without issues. Overall, while previous experiences have varied, it seems advisable to secure a Non-O visa from a home country prior to travel.

Apply for the non O on the Thai E-visa website, before coming to Thailand, that way you won't have any problems crossing through at immigration, you can also open a bank account on a non O, you can't on a visa exempt stamp, some immigration offices won't issue the initial in the country non O, and will advise you to visit an Thai embassy in a neighbouring country, doing as others have suggested will be a lot cheaper, than paying for fast track safe entry, and doing the whole process with an agent, buying return tickets is also not necessary.
