Hey guys,
First off, I’m really sorry if this has been asked before. I know it probably has, but I’m a natural overthinker and I worry a lot about small things.
So here’s my situation: I’ve planned a 10-day trip to Bangkok this October (7th–17th), and then I fly out to Vietnam. The thing is, I’ve already been to Thailand twice this year – once in May for 7 days and again in August for 10 days. This will be my 3rd trip within the year, and I’m starting to worry if immigration might give me a hard time or even deny entry.
For context:
• My passport allows visa-free entry for 60 days, but the max I’ve stayed each time was only 10 days.
• I’ll have proof of funds (carrying 40–50k baht in cash), onward flight tickets to Vietnam, and all hotel bookings (already paid).
• The biggest reason I’m stressing is because my girlfriend (she’s from Greece) will be flying all the way from Athens to Bangkok the same day to meet me. We’re long-distance and this vacation means everything to us. If I get stopped or denied at immigration, it would be a huge mess since she’d arrive alone and our trip would basically be ruined.
Has anyone here traveled multiple times in a year like this? Do you think immigration will actually care, or am I just overthinking it? Any advice would seriously mean the world to me.
Thanks a ton in advance, and again, sorry for repeating a question that might’ve been asked before 🙏
TLDR : Answer Summary
A traveler is concerned about their upcoming 10-day trip to Bangkok, fearing possible immigration issues due to having visited Thailand twice within the same year. They have a visa-free entry allowance and can provide proof of funds and onward travel, but worry about the impression they will leave at immigration. Responses from the community suggest that as long as the trips are short and comply with visa regulations, immigration is unlikely to raise any concerns, and emphasize maintaining a polite demeanor upon entry.
