ORIGINAL POSTER

Last year I had an 15 month ( 3+ 12) Non-o visa that expired on Dec 18. I arrived Dec 19 (ev30) and extended at Jomtien, no issues. I just flew out to Vietnam for 5 days and on my return was asked for boarding pass and outbound ticket (which I had). Stamped in ev30 again.

I have now been asked to attend a conference in HK early march.

Question:

will purchasing and using a Fast Track pass ease my immigration concerns of not being let back in, or do i just suck it up and hope for the best, with the worst is i'm ejected.

I'm in HK for 6 days, Aussie passport.  constructive options please?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user, on a 15-month Non-O visa that expired in December, is concerned about re-entry into Thailand after traveling to Hong Kong for a conference. They priorly entered Thailand on an EV30 stamp and are wondering if a Fast Track pass would help mitigate immigration issues upon their return, or if they should prepare for possible rejection. A comment suggests that if the user does not stay in Thailand for extended periods, re-entry should be fine, but a long-term visa might be necessary for future stays.

If you are not staying the full 30 days and not extending everytime, then you will be fine this time. However, if you are going to stay long time in Thailand you need to get a long term visa.
