Hi! I’m planning to apply for a SETV in Sweden and go to Thailand in November. I am a Swedish citizen.

Do you think I will have any issues entering Thailand given my previous history? My last visit was in October 2018 and I left the country on March 20th (total stay of 5.5 months, consisting of 1 SETV + extension, 1 visa exemption + extension, 1 visa exemption). Do you think they will find my previous entries alarming? Do you think there is a high probability that they will ask for the three proofs?

Thanks!

Answer summary

A Swedish citizen planning to apply for a Single Entry Tourist Visa (SETV) to visit Thailand should be aware that their previous immigration history could influence their entry. The individual had a previous stay of 5.5 months, using different visa types and extensions. Concerns arise about whether Thai immigration might view this previous lengthy stay as problematic and if it could lead to requests for additional documentation during the entry process. Overall, it is advisable to prepare any necessary proofs to facilitate smoother entry.
