Is it common to get questioned when re entering the Kingdom? I come in and out a few times a year. This time I did 6 weeks here then flew to Taipei for 10 days, when I came in this time he asked how long I intended to stay and wanted to see my onward tkt.

I was planning to do another 6 weeks and go to the Philippines for a few weeks before returning again. Feeling a bit apprehensive now.

I hear people doing border runs for a day without any problems.

Asking for a friend

...really, because I'm American. For a citizen of Chile I understand they currently get 90-day visa exempt stamp upon entry (not the 60 days offered to many other nationalities.) Can this be extended for 30 days one or more times at an immigration office in country? This person has entered Thailand one time this year and stayed less than 30 days, and may enter again next month after being out of the country 2-3 weeks.

As they might want to stay here beyond 4 months, they may need to leave Thailand to get a new stamp. If they go to Cambodia, do you expect that will be easy and will they have to stay overnight in Cambodia? Would it be any different if they did a land crossing or if they traveled by airplane?

I’m in a desperate dilemma. Maybe I’ll be ok, but there’s potential of significant harm.

My trip to Thailand was cut short by progressive agitation of my lung injury, the final part due to vibrations of a bus. I’ve been recuperating in a great place in Ao Nang, where healing’s been steady but slow. It’s been 32 days and I’m still not safe for traveling.

My 60-day visa runs out March 16, and to extend I must go to an immigration office 30 minutes away. But car vibrations are bad for me. I could avoid that by sending them a Thai medical certification, but for that I’d need to go the local hospital – 7 minutes by car, not as bad. But there’s nothing doctors can do to confirm my condition; tests will show normal. All a Thai doctor can do is listen to my American doctor, who doesn’t know much though he’d probably write a letter. Without a letter, the Thai hospital won’t grant the certification (and might not even with a letter). I have until Monday (March 17) to get to this done.

The consequences of overstaying my visa are harsh. First, there are fees and bans; the latter would be terrible as I’m considering making Thailand a winter home. Far worse, if found, I’d probably face forced deportment, which could be a potential health catastrophe.

So my dilemma is I'm now forced to take serious risks with my health, likely to some level of injury degrading my quality of life temporarily, and possibly permanently and critically. Ironically, this might land me in the same predicament as earlier, needing more time to recover, but with no option to extend and having to leave the country, at greater risk.

I estimate I could probably make either trip (hospital or immigration office) without major problems. But it’s hard to say.

* One exchange with the US consulate sounds promising, but there's more to work out.

* I've heard of a visa agent, so you don't have to go in. Is this an option?

I welcome your ideas here. Thanks for reading.

hello, so I am considering alternating between Sri Lanka and Thailand. 6/6 months split perhaps.

Do you think that having the DTV would prevent you from being able to get the digital nomad Visa in Sri Lanka?

Or do you think this is something they probably haven't considered and won't even care about

As I live in Chiang Mai which has the burning season for multiple months of the year and also it's nice just to switch things up to keep the mind fresh

Hi, Is there a finite limit to the number of visa-exempt (60 days) entries to Thailand one can have in a calendar year?

I’m an Irish passport holder. I will enter from Singapore in Jan and will need to re-enter a 2nd time from Australia in March.

Thank you.

Hi guys,

What’s peoples thoughts on the DTV stopping applicants if there’s too many being processed?

Should I just do a visa run now and do DTV in 3 months or would you do one now. My visa expires 27th and a lot of public holidays etc and not a great time for us to travel with a baby for a long processing time.

my apologies if I am responding to the same inquiry I posted earlier today. For some reason, I cannot find it; maybe I did hit the post.

I have a family emergency and will have to leave tomorrow for the US. I am planning to return in two weeks (hopefully). I did a visa run to Cambodia to extend my visa. I am wondering if I will encounter any issues when I return in two weeks. I imagine, that I will get another stamp upon arriving in Thailand in two weeks?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello, I’ve been in Thailand for almost three months. but I left Thailand six days before my tourist visa expired, I then exited to Cambodia and stayed there for about seven days last September. I got a two-month visa again. Recently, I exited again to Cambodia and stayed for about four days, leaving Thailand four days before my tourist visa expired.

My question is: is it okay to return to Thailand through the Cambodia-Thailand border and get another two-month visa?

I am coming to Thailand in December for six weeks. Do I need to apply for a visa . TIA

Can I enter thailand with a single flight ticket, with a UK passport?
