Will my previous visa history affect my ability to do a border bounce in Thailand after my ED Visa ends?

@Tony *****

even more of a problem.

@Brandon ***********

have you actually lived in Thailand or are you one of those keyboard experts . I did numerous border runs for years with no issues it's luck of the straw. I would rather do a walk over because if you do get grab on the airport they lock you up till you book a flight out of there

@Tony *****

*luck of the draw.....

@Tony *****

are you still in Thailand now? When & where the last border run?

@Tony *****

Holy shit. You are asking a moderator of this site if he’s a keyboard warrior. Get real. We deal with this stuff on a daily basis. We see real stories from people every day. The fact you managed to do what you did a few years ago has absolutely zero basis on what’s going to happen to someone today.

@Stuart ********

clearly living in Thailand surely you should know that nothing is set . Every immigration officer and province varies on what they expect and do .

@Tony *****

once again true. I just enter after letting my visa expire do to emergency. I flew back and not a single person ask me for any documents. No return flight and hotel reservations. Just stamp and smiled. So much for strict guidelines being enforce . People say they post and was questioned and maybe grilled but hardly has anyone posted being return to passport origin. People on here would claim the 1 percenters represent the whole. Totally false

@Matthew ********

it's luck of the draw , in any department even with getting my marriage certificate. Same issue Udon Thani nope told us go to her place of birth went there sorry can not even we went to another province in Udon and yes sir

@Tony *****

wow. Me and wife went to a district office in Bangkok after we got documents translated with embassy. No problem at all.it was funny the lady at district doing the marriage license laughed with wife and said she needed to try a dating site 555. I am surprised in udon Thani you had trouble. They are usually friendly to most expat from what I here and see. But as we both know any given day it based on the mood of the person.

@Tony *****

And what has that got to do with the price of cheese? It’s irrelevant to this post. You called

@Bra****

a keyboard warrior because he didn’t agree with you. That’s absurd.

@Stuart ********

because the price of cheese is quite expensive in Thailand 💰🧀🤣

My personal experience is that it's never straight forward and it just comes down to the officer processing your documents on the day . As they say up to them

@Tony *****

Your border runs for years means nothing. Everything is COMPLETELY different since they changed visa exempt to 60 days. People are getting pulled up for even doing a SINGLE border bounce after maximizing their 60+30 visa exempt beforehand. Borders are becoming much more strict, requiring people to spend multiple nights out of Thailand, and requiring proof of a PAID airplane ticket back to passport country after 60 days, proof of hotel reservation, and showing the required cash to enter Thailand. Dozens or hundreds of people are being denied entry every day at the airports. It's a completely different situation now and not one to be taken lightly unless you enjoy spending thousands of dollars buying a last minute ticket back home after being denied entry. Facebook groups are awash with people reporting these issues daily.

Someone who spend 6 months in Thailand before going on an ED (which was only gotten to CLEARLY live in Thailand, and is the most abused visa type there is) and then immediately leaves and returns on ANOTHER visa exempt? There's almost 100% chance of having issues if trying to border bounce by yourself. Immigration isn't stupid, they know you are abusing the system trying to live in Thailand without a proper visa.

@Roberto ********

it seems unlikely that someone would travel without considering how they would get back. Perhaps you're underestimating people's ability to plan and prepare for their trips. Most travelers have a clear plan in place for their return journey.

@Matthew ********

Sure ....
