Will I face immigration issues in Thailand with my planned visa strategy?

Jul 7, 2023

Hello

I was in Thailand 4 months before I went back home, with 2x border run and one extension since didn't know you could get extension every time you left. But my question now is I have now booked my flight back for 180 days. And my plan include 1x tourist visa with one extension and fly out come back after few days then do visa exemption + extension after that it's already new years and can do new border runs. Will I get issues with immigration? Or if they ask to my return flight shall I show them my flight to Cambodia instead of my flight home? Thanks in advance

TLDR : Answer Summary
The individual is planning a 180-day return to Thailand, including a tourist visa with one extension, along with border runs and visa exemptions. They are concerned about potential issues with immigration due to their previous travel history and wonder if showing a flight to Cambodia instead of directly back home would help their case.

You will be alright in fact there are so many people on these forums who are trying to frighten you with ill advised comments just do what you want as I’m sure you will in the end anyway.

Good Luck 👍

You're at the mercy of the Immigration Officer with a history like that. Why not get a Multi-entry Tourist Visa as that might look better for you with a flight out 6 months later?

You want to spend six months in Thailand on tourist entries? Why don't you just get the METV? That way you'll have no problem with immigration.

That's fine, just keep in mind that what you're planning and with your history, expect at some stage to be denied entry. Never underestimate the intelligence of immigration officers!
