Will I have trouble re-entering Thailand after spending 6 months there recently?

You are absolutely correct

@Matt ***

. You have little time for a visa from the thai eVisa website. So fly in blind and have the 3 important thing required by immigration

1. ฿20,000 in cash or equivalent

2. Where your staying

3 an onward flight within the 60 days (they haven't decreased it to 30 days.

Maintain your here for tourist purposes as you can't see Thailand in such a short time period

Good luck

Good luck if they let you in they may also try to collect income tax from you

180 days in 12 months, do the maths but I think you already know 🤔 You could try an agent but Thailand are getting tougher now on people trying to beat the system

Pay an agent for safe entry if you’re that concerned. It’s a guaranteed entry, no questions asked. Even the METV isn’t a 100% guarantee entry.

you just cannot maximize touristic stays (regardless if they were on valid visas or visa-exempt) for more than 180 days within a 1-year period. According to your stay history, I can predict that you will be denied entry

If you maxed out both stays then you’ve had 180 days in Thailand. The METV is a tourist visa. I don’t think they will let you in.

Think the fact you are in USA may save you

Where have you been since April ?

😆 good luck

Not foolish at all, your right to be concerned as between October and April you've spent 6 months in Thailand. If you have any other history in Thailand earlier in 2025 then you should be even more concerned. A tourist visa that might provide a further 6 months in Thailand might help a little but it's really looking like the you are trying to live in Thailand on tourist entries which they don't like. You will be at the mercy of the immigration officer you will stand in front of, make sure you have 20k baht or equivalent in CASH when you arrive along with accommodation booked and a ticket out in 60 days and keep your fingers crossed
