THIM and TDAC notice
Need a clearer THIM and TDAC explanation? Read the THIM guide on thim.in.th.
I was wondering I was in pattaya two times already the first time in April for 3 weeks then July to August for one month I’m trying to return Oct 31st for one month I’m flying in will I have problem entering back into Thailand
Answer summary
The questioner seeks advice on whether they will encounter any issues re-entering Thailand after two previous visits within the same calendar year. Responses emphasize the importance of having proper documentation such as a cash amount of 20,000 THB, proof of accommodation, and a return ticket. Various commenters suggest that as long as the total stay does not exceed 180 days in a year, the individual should have no major complications, but caution that entry can ultimately depend on the discretion of the immigration officer at the border.

I think they ask questions if you stay a total of180 days in a year or over ,so Cal youtube lad said and his girlfriend is a immigration officer

@Derek *******
Closer to 150 days. That's a full tourist visa + extension, plus a visa exempt plus extension.Derek ********
@Brandon ***********
180 with 2 tourist visa and 2 extension, I wonder if they allow thatBrandon ************
@Derek *******
Never heard of anyone getting a 7 day extension on a tourist visaDerek ********
@Brandon ***********
maybe they give 7 days extension on 2nd tourist visa.like they did with the visa exempt after 2nd applicationBrandon ************
@Derek *******
If they let you in with the 2nd tourist visa, there's not really anything stopping you from reaching 180 days. You're just going to want to be away for at least 6 months, if not more, after that.

You will be fine. That's nothing compared to me.

OPSo when do I fill out a tourist visa now or wait and what’s the best place to get a pic for the visa in Arizona

Randy Salinas Just download a photo ID app on your phone and take it yourself. I used "IDphoto" app and it worked perfectly for me but I'm guessing any similar app would work. I did my Visa application 30 days in advance and it was literally approved in 4 days. The visa effective start date is the day of approval so you don't want to do too far in advance.

According to your previous entry history you should not encounter any problem. Carry the 20,000 THB (or equivalent in USD) cash proof on you, a few first booked nights and a ticket for a return within 30 days on you. Remember, the day of entry is counted as day number one. And don't forget to fill out and submit the TDAC digital arrival card up from 3 days prior to your planned arrival

Nongnuch Kamdee to be precise within 72 hours of arrival at bkk

@Nigel **********
The TDAC system uses a calendar picker to pick the date, and it only looks at full days, not hours. So it's not 72 hours, it's 3 days.

Nobody can really answer that question other than the immigration officer you will stand in front of on the day. If you have no other history than you mentioned it doesn't look like you should have a problem
