I'm currently in Vietnam and plan on getting a 60 day Thai tourism visa. I've already spent 10+ months in Thailand and have a passport full of Covid extensions. I've heard that immigration can be quite difficult at BKK Airport for people that have already been in Thailand for a good amount of time on the visa exempt stamp / Covid visa. My question is, does that worry still exist if I already have obtained the tourism visa from the Thai consulate?

Just went to apply for a visa in Hanoi. First time applying for a Thai tourist visa. I have a US passport. Was asked for printed proof of funds and flight ticket out. When I said I was planning to leave by bicycle, I was also asked for proof of insurance. (Who has insurance?!) Anyway, I obviously didn’t get it but just FYI for anyone planning to do a Hanoi run.
