I was told on last entry that next time I arrive I need a propper visa. But got a bit conflicting information, when I asked that my next trip will only be for 30 days before return to Norway. Then I was told no I don't need for this short trip.

I stay 60-90 days in vinter months, and 30 days in September/October.

I have 2 questions:

Will they give entry if you have appointments with visa agent in Thailand? Even just short time. As I'm not sure I can trust the statement that I can enter if only staying 30 days.

Second question: If refused entry, can I just book a flight to Philippines and stay there instead for the duration I had plan in Thailand? I really don't want to have to travel back to Norway just to book new trip.

Currently on an Education visa, which expires beginning of June. Planning to go to my home country for 3 weeks and apply for the DTV there and come back end of June. How likely am i to encounter probablems when entering Thailand due to my history of multiple tourist entries and then ED visa? Thanks

For the first 90 day report I know I should go to immigration rather than attempt it online. I need my passport, photocopy of info page, photocopy of visa and tm 47 form. Anything else? Thanks all

I live in Cambodia at the moment on a 6 month visa and I want to go back to Thailand to study Mandarin Chinese this time (had a Thai ED visa a few years ago), but the school is asking me to get a tourist visa before I come back and apply.

I would like to know if the Thai embassy actually grants tourist visas to foreigners living in Cambodia and if there are no requierements like having to prove that I am a permanent resident (retired) or something like that. I can’t apply from my home country as I haven’t been there for 10 years and I am not planning on going back.

I have no history of border, of visa runs, or

any warnings from immigration, been visiting Thailand since 2001, but never spent more than 3-4 months a year
