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.

Hello everyone! I hope you’re all doing great. I have encountered some visa issues and would greatly appreciate it if anyone with similar experience could provide some insight and advice.

I left Thailand last Friday after a 60-day stay in Phuket and would like to reenter the country as soon as possible. I applied for an E-Visa on Sunday and it’s still pending approval. The reason why I applied for an E-visa despite having a 60-day visa exemption for my passport is because the immigration officer told me to do so the last time I reentered the country just a few days after my departure.

I do have a prior commitment that requires me to get back to Phuket as soon as possible. Do you think I should just try to fly into the country before my E-visa is approved, hoping to get another 60-day visa exemption? Or do you think I should really wait until the E-visa is approved?

All help is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!

I entered Thailand by air on visa exemption in January. I did 2 land border runs, also visa exemptions in March and May. I recently applied for an education visa but it may not get processed in time before my most recent visa exemption stamp expires. Will I be allowed to exit and reenter Thailand again?

Hi folks - I am on a 90 days tourist visa (60 and extended 30 more days). Once my 90 days visa is completed: is it ok to exit country... and come back couple of days later with another 30 days ?

Hey, if I fly from bangkok to Laos (Vientiane), and enter the country through the land border an hour later, is that problematic (is it bad to reenter so fast)?

Or is it better to stay a night in Laos? Does it really matter?

This will be the 3rd time im entering thailand this year.

Please read my REPLY UPDATE of March 24th...

3 hours after I posted this on the forum....

I am going to share this Post which was submitted for approval Friday March 24th at 9:00pm... and I replied via PM with my advice.

I have not shown the name of the poster, BUT wish to share this as we get this kind of question about traveling out of Thailand when on an Ed Visa for Study of Thai language.

Especially now, due to the ADDED SCRUTINY of ED VISAS... and the SCHOOLS by Thai Immigration, students are expected to be attending classes and pass tests in order to obtain any extension of stay of the Ed Visa.

Questions are being asked by Thai Immigration Officers upon arrival back into Thailand. And reentry may be DENIED, especially if you have a recent history of staying in Thailand using varied visas Visa exempt entry and COVID extensions.

I suggest you FOCUS on YOUR STUDIES and leave the travels to other countries until after you have completed the full course of study.

Can’t fly back to cancel my ED visa on time. Can I fly back on exemption after expiration?

In my home country (Philippines) right now applying for a Schengen visa. Current visa expires Jan 14 but it might take a while for me to get my passport back.

My cats and my stuff are still in Bangkok and I have plans to get another long-term visa later this year.

What’s the best recourse here? Think I shouldn’t have a problem reentering through exemption for now but I could be wrong. TIA
