Just arrived at Suvarnabhumi - short lines through immigration. I had a couple of short one week stays in 2025 and then one visa exempt 60 + 30 stay. IO asked to see proof of my flight out before the end of this 60 day visa-exempt visit. Provided and sent on my merry way.

Did anyone got the 60 days stamp on their passport yet or they are still giving only 30 days ? Can you please share the pic?

Passport Cover's writing erased.

Here's my issue, my passport has it's cover golden writings pretty much erased due to the fact that it's quit old now around 6 years.

Other than that it's intact, I would like to know has anyone been denied of entry experienced troubles getting in thailand with a worn passport ?

Covid Visa aftermath @ Suvarnabhumi today

USA - 2 years on Covid extension visas, arrived on visa exempt, and departed Bkk March 2022. No issue.

Then went to USA for 6mo and returned on TR-60 single entry visa and got a 30 extension, no issue

New years in the Philippines for 30 days and returned today on 45 day Visa exempt.

@ Immigration

Officer went through each page. Then asks how long I plan to stay and to show my return ticket. Showed my 43day return ticket and a minute later was carted off to the immigration office.

Basic questions

What are you doing here: Tourist

Have family in Thailand: No

Then was told I need a visa if I want to stay longer. 1-2 months was ok without a visa. (Nothing new to me)

Filled out a Passenger Identification form: name, address, flight info. Got finger scanned and photo graphed. Then he walks me back through immigration.

Was taken back a bit during the process but ended ok.
