Arrived in Thailand 28th Feb an got a 60 days visa at Bangkok airport.

This is my experience at the Thai, Laos Vientiane crossing these past few days on a visa bounce.

Left Thailand on 25th April. The Thai immigration officer said I could not return as they were clamping down on visa bounce however she did not red flag me in the system. She told me to take a chance and it was the returning visa officers decision whether I could enter or notm

On 29th I returned and once again the visa officer stated I could not enter. However my wife of 38yrs explained I had a return ticket to the USA and that next visit would be on a non O visa obtained in Washington. Phew! Luckily he accepted this and stamped me for a further 60 days we had our house blue book, marriage cert and my ticket. Preparation I believe helped.

Be careful they are getting much stricter.

Hope this helps.

Has anyone printed their DTV in a reduced size, lamintated it AND been back through customs for a re-entry (with no problems)?

If so, what size did you have it reduced to?

Looking to see the smallest size i can get away with, hoping for A6!

I have just done 60 days on entry to Thailand

Extended this by another 30 days at Bangkok immigration

I tried to change my flight return date to leave before the end of that 30 day extension, but the company want £870 for one way so i got a Thai Airways flight foe £360 to Heathrow

Can i enter Thailand on a one way flight ticket and just book a return flight when i no my return date,seems easy to me
