Will I get another entry to Thailand on my METV after being warned by immigration?

Are you struggling to understand the stance of the Imigration officer who pulled the OP asideand warned him? Your forget: we are talking about the “milking” or the misuse of the “touristic entry system” for a longterm stay in Thailand.

This includes multiple tourist visas as well as visa-exempt entries.

“Longterm” in the eyes of Immigration is any accumulation of stay that exceed 180 days within a one-year period.

Obtaining a 60-days single-entry or 6-months multi-entry tourist visa after you have already done a few visa exempt stays within a one-year period, does not clean your touristic stamp history slate.

ANY accumulation of “touristic entries”, be it on a visa or without a visa, will be frowned upon once you start to maximize them.

The use of a tourist visa directly after you have completed visa-exempt stays, does not free you from the obligations. It equals a misuse of the tourist visa-system. The Immigration officers won’t be fooled.

Anyone who likes to spend more than half a year in Thailand within a one-year period, is not a “real tourist” anymore. For this purpose, there are other visa type options.

For people who like to spend a consecutive half a year of hibernation in South East Asia and who like to make Thailand a base for other travels, the 6-months multi-entry Tourist Visa is the perfect choice.

Yet, it must be self-understood that you need many months of absence from Thailand before you can repeatedly enter on a METV again.

We offer this service by air, and it takes around 6 hours.

Cue the Crystal Ball

I suspect you will be rejected. It’s in your file now. I’ve been told the same but I don’t have the means to apply for a long term visa.

If you have metv you should be ok. This is for people who travel longer in Asia

You should be ok the METV is not called multiple entry for nothing, one IO opinion is not the same as anothers

yes. no risk, no fun

Let me look into my Crystal Ball. 😂😂😂😂

If you are concerned, do a border bounce with an agency or arrange fast track past immigration with agent.

Well … I guess NO as the officer already saw your history…do you have a thai bank account ?

Why bother even risking it? Just use a land border bounce agency to drive you to the border an ensure you get out and back in without issues, or utilize a "safe entry" agent for an airport entry to ensure you are allowed back in without any questions.
