Here’s an interesting scenario which i’ve never seen discussed….
I own a thai-registered motorbike (with all ownership documents in my name) which I purchased on a tourist visa last year.
For reference, my first ever entry to Thailand was 16 months ago. Since then i’ve stayed for 10months using two 60-day tourist visas (+ extension) and two 30-day visa-exempt entries by air (+ extension).
I’m not working and simply traveling throughout SE Asia with most of it in Thailand.
My next exit will be riding the motorbike to Cambodia or Malaysia and staying between 2 - 6 months. I also just returned from a 3-month Laos trip with the motorbike and re-entered Thailand with a tourist visa.
Is it possible to be “stuck” outside Thailand while owning a Thai motorbike? I.e realistically can i be denied a tourist visa (when applying in neighboring countries Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia) if i meet all the requirements?
Technically I do have to return the motorbike to Thailand so not sure how that would work.
As a backup option, are visa-exempt land border entries guaranteed up to 2x per calendar year (i.e almost like a no questions asked policy)?
