A bit of a long question regarding my visa/exempts history. My recent history is:
- Entered the Kingdom on December on a visa exempt
- Leave Thailand on December - just stayed 5 days
- In Febrary I went again into Thailand, with a SETV
- I extended my SETV once
- Now (this week) I'm leaving Thailand - flying to Vietnam
After visiting Vietnam for one or two months, I'll come back to Thailand because my flight back to home is from Chiang Mai. I plan to enter with a visa exempt, because it'll be just a couple of weeks. I have my plane ticket back to my home country - I'm going back home in late June, I bought the ticket back in December.
My doubts are:
- Could the officers think I'm "living on visa runs"? I'm not, and between one enter and another I always spend more than one month out of the country, but my fear is there.
In addition, I plan to come back to Thailand next winter if all goes well with my business back in home and I have enough money saved during the summer and fall :D
- Could it be an issue my history when flying into Thailand next winter?
All the entries to Thailand will be done by air, and my passport from Spain allows me the 30 days visa exempt.
Thank you!
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is concerned about re-entering Thailand on a visa-exempt basis given their recent travel history, including multiple entries and exits while on a visa-exempt entry and a Single Entry Tourist Visa (SETV). They have received reassuring responses indicating that their travel history does not suggest 'living on visa runs' since they have always spent more than a month out of the country between entries. Additionally, they have proof of onward travel, which further supports their case. Other users have shared similar experiences, emphasizing that such travel patterns are common for tourists in Southeast Asia and have not faced issues upon re-entry.
