Arrived in Thailand 28th Feb an got a 60 days visa at Bangkok airport.

This is my experience at the Thai, Laos Vientiane crossing these past few days on a visa bounce.

Left Thailand on 25th April. The Thai immigration officer said I could not return as they were clamping down on visa bounce however she did not red flag me in the system. She told me to take a chance and it was the returning visa officers decision whether I could enter or notm

On 29th I returned and once again the visa officer stated I could not enter. However my wife of 38yrs explained I had a return ticket to the USA and that next visit would be on a non O visa obtained in Washington. Phew! Luckily he accepted this and stamped me for a further 60 days we had our house blue book, marriage cert and my ticket. Preparation I believe helped.

Be careful they are getting much stricter.

Hope this helps.

Is it a mistake to use my Thai bank account to show proof of funds, instead of one from my home country? I’m aware it could highlight that I’ve essentially been living in Thailand for the past six months (on visa exemptions), and that I’ve had a Thai account for four years now (I’ve been on various visas). My passport stamps tell the same story, however.

I’ve been to Thailand the last two years and I have a hotel booked for 2 months in Patong beach. Is there a way to get an extra month without going to immigration

Hi!

Do I still need to buy Re Entry at the immigration or I am exempted as I am confused.

As on the top it says re entry permit must be made before leaving thailand and then it say exempted.

UPDATE 1:

Didn’t need to apply for re-entry permit as informed by the immigration/reentry desk at Suvarnabhumi airport.

Update 2:

Was allowed through immigration with no questions asked.

I was here three months (two months extended) ,

then I left a couple of weeks when I came back to Phuket they told me at the airports that I should’ve obtained a visa and forced me to buy a return ticket one month later not a day more. Gowever, when they stamped my passport, it said two months. Now I wanna stay a little over one month. Would that be an issue?

It only takes a few to mess it up for everyone else. DTV is going to be next.

Question: I'm a retired American living permanently in the Philippines. I just spent 12 days mostly in Pai. I'd like to go back and stay for 60 days plus get a 30 day extension for a total of 90 days. Do I need to subtract the 12 days from my 90 day stay making it a total of 78 days? O read where you can only stay 90 days in a 6 month period. Thanks in advance

I've heard that Thailand is currently making it challenging for travelers to enter the country, even for those who have obtained a visa. Can anyone provide more information or insights on this issue? Has anyone recently traveled to Thailand and encountered difficulties upon arrival? I'd appreciate any updates or advice on what to expect when planning a trip to Thailand.

Update: Got pulled to the side at airport. Warned that they will not accept such visa trips anymore. So was left in with warning that next time only visa, if I want to stay longer then 2 months. So I guess, the visa renewal trips will get harder in future.

I only showed rental contract after the red button was pushed. Because they did not ask about hotel etc, and no question asked about contract.

And in Vietnam, all was checked for onward ticket out of Thailand. About 10 people was pulled aside, some made it throu after paying expensive tickets (onwardticket was to slow) others did not board plane.

I know there are no real answer to this, and it's down to immigration officer.

But I wounder if peoples have been denied entry under same conditions.

Every year, I visit Thailand from January to April. And last 2 years also 1 month in October.

Before I used 60 days tourist visa with extension by immigration office or fly out on 4-5 days trip.

I rent all year apartment because it gives better renting options and I avoid alot of fuss dragging luggage.

I'm currently in Vietnam, and returning today after 4 days trip. For new 60 days.

I have returning ticket to Norway 29 April, so within the new 60 days.

I have rental contract and 20.000thb in cash when entering.

I have zero overstay or any problem with police/immigration. Or never late on renewal

Anyone been denied reentry on such conditions?

Also, what agents/price that offers guarantees on reentry 60 day exemption.
