Can I enter Thailand while my DTV visa is pending or do I have to wait until I receive it?

Do they ask a return flight ticket if you are flying to Bangkok from Bali? Would a exit bus ticket be enough? They ask that usually at chcek in counter or where? I can buy it online on spot if it is required, they would allow that?

Just had a mail from Gov. uk. Entry to Thailand has now reverted back to 30 days! 🤔

Hi.

I have a UK passport and have entered Thailand via BKK 3 times in the last 5 months under the visa exempt scheme.

I’m planning to return very soon on 5 May via BKK for 14 days before going on to Vietnam for 10 days then returning to Thailand via BKK for a further 14 days.

Some research I’ve done states that only 3 visa exempt entries are allowed in a six month period.

Other research says unlimited visa exempt entries by air are allowed.

I’m confused?

I'm from a Singapore that have visa exemption for 30 days. My question is that if I enter Thailand from Malaysia does that I can't enter into Thailand thru Malaysia for more than 2 times with the exemption free visa?

Has anyone been refused entry to Thailand due to number of times visited? I am worried they won't let me in 😅

I got a question.

1) when you arrive in Thailand, you get a 30 day visa correct?

2) if we leave before the 30 days and go to a different country then return to Thailand, do they give us another 30 days?

Re; Lao Border Points

There was a train-wreck of a post (now thankfully deleted) the other night about someone who was denied entry into thailand at the Nong Khai border crossing <-(hands down the EASIEST border crossing in all of thailand to get IN to the country by)

And it seems every Tom, Dick & Somchai poser :O errr poster had to weigh in with their 2 satang's worth of info on what to do.

I want to clear up ANY misunderstanding.

There is ABSO-tively, POSI-lutely ZERO problem with ANY border crossing with Lao and you don't need a service to bounce you out and back with them AT ALL.

It appears the whole story was not related in the thread :O The O/P entered the country and was mistakenly stamped in for 60 days NOT the 30 days they would get on a visa exempt entry.

They foolishly thought that if immigration makes a mistake the stamp is good <- IT IS NOT.

They stayed the full 60 days then went to fly out. When they stamped out they were found to NOT have held a tourist visa but had really entered visa exempt and been stamped in wrong. The fact they didn't correct it <- meant they were now on a 30 day overstay.. Graciously the people at passport control didn't fine them the 15K baht overstay. They did get the overstay stamp though.

AND

when they went to re-enter at the Nong Khai border I think passport control saw the overstay stamp and said, you just overstayed a month you can't get in by land and turned them back to Lao.

Eventually they did get in but it took another day..

This was 100% a problem of their own making, they got stamped in wrong, they didn't go correct it <- Once again people, it is YOUR passport so YOUR responsibility to get errant stamps corrected,

IF you get stamped in for longer than you should you DO NOT get to stay that extra time because immigrations 'messed up'..

You'll get tagged for overstay because you 'messed up' not going to get that stamp corrected.

CHECK your stamp before you walk away from passport control.

I just wanted to let everyone know, despite that thread about the denial at Nong Khai

THERE IS NO ISSUE AT ALL WITH ANY OF THE LAO BORDER POINTS AS FAR AS PEOPLE GETTING OUT AND BACK IN.

Hllo 🙏🙏, I have had two air entrys this year for the Visa Exemption which I have extended both times. Can I do a third entry this year? I did accidentally overstay by a day aswell.

Also can anyone recommend an online Thai language school that does education visa?

🙏🙏

I know it depends of the imigration officer, but i want to have an idea about how much time aproxly can i spend in thailand with tourists permits leaving and re-entering.
