Thought it worth sharing just came back into Thailand at Lao Border/Nong Kai - all was fine as I have a DTV but 2 others turned away for too many entries and another for not having an onward flight, though he was told you on showing proof he could come back.

Very unfriendly and certainly not a border I would recommend without having exact paper work/correct visa etc which of course one should have however if you are in that “grey area” best pick another entry point imho.

Hi, can you show money in a Thai bank account as proof of funds on visa exempt

Previously I had a Non-Imm O. I have been out of Thailand for a few months. I wish to return for 60-90 days this time. I own a condo in Bangkok. However, I am wondering how strict they are on having an ongoing flight or train ticket etc?

(US citizen) Wondering if i'll possibly have issues getting to thailand

I was in thailand for 86 days with visa extended from march till june 5th and have since been in malaysia.

My friends have planned a 4 day trip to krabi and I'm going but have only booked one way as im unsure if i'd like to go to somewhere like koh lipe or langkawi. Even though this trip wont last more than 10 days im wondering if I realistically could have problems and need to book a way out.

Thanks!

Is it common to get questioned when re entering the Kingdom? I come in and out a few times a year. This time I did 6 weeks here then flew to Taipei for 10 days, when I came in this time he asked how long I intended to stay and wanted to see my onward tkt.

I was planning to do another 6 weeks and go to the Philippines for a few weeks before returning again. Feeling a bit apprehensive now.

I hear people doing border runs for a day without any problems.

Is there any advantage to getting a Single Entry Tourist Visa (UK) if I plan to stay in Thailand for 3-5 months?

Would it help in any way with a visa run (by air) after the initial 60+30 days expire?

Or would it be a waste of money, and I'd be better off just arriving without a visa, using the free 60-day entry + 30-day extension, then doing a visa run and hoping to get another 60 days?

Thanks!!

Can I go to Thailand while waiting for DTV application approval? I'd enter as a tourist. Does that break any DTV application rules?

I’m an Irish male 67, with a non immigration O single entry (with “retired” remark) eVisa obtained from Thai London embassy (they also issue for citizens of the Republic of Ireland in recent years). Background; I have a long term Thai gf (>18 years together.. we are not married. I stay at her house in Korat).

A couple of questions relating to an upcoming trip in Nov:

1. Can I extend this visa at an internal immigration centre or do a border run with ease and return for 30 days as a tourist (no visa needed?) just prior to the evisa expiring?

2. Following that extension or return in Point 1, I need to go to Australia for a few weeks.

3. What are my options to return to Thailand again for another ca. 55-60 days before returning home to Ireland next April/May? E.g. Apply for another 90 days eVisa whilst in Australia (as if I was applying online from Ireland) OR enter again as a tourist (no visa needed?) for 30 days and extend it internally for another 30 days.

I guess I’m wondering are there any limits to the number of tourist entries and / or extensions one can get per entry in a single calendar year that could trip me up?

I would effectively be seeking to stay ~90 days, then ~ 30 days, and then on return from Australia another ~60 days before finally returning home to Ireland.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

**farangs can do Border-run unlimited times (not only twice a year)

Is this true? if this is true, then I can stay in Thailand as long as I want, as long as I take border-run?**

I'll visit to relatives in thailand next two week. If the immigration ask where will u stay? Should I show the address and apartment contracts of my aunt who lives in there? or book a hotel.
