Hi all currently I'm in Thailand on a visa exempt I had planned on doing 60.days plus extension then a border run and repeat and home yet I got pulled by Immigration in sauvurnhabumi on entering I'm from UK under 50 I'm thinking of going home beginning of December and stay home for December and return to Thailand January 2nd with a 60 day e visa is this risky as in may be denied entry here in January thanks all

Has anyone been refused entry lately?

Arrived last year.

3 cambodia land trips, and prior a year of covid stamps.

If i fly out from bkk to malaysia and come back same day - and say i come back to study thai. I will go with fast track service. Is this not worth chancing? I want to get 30 more days to organize ed visa. I know Laos by land would be safest but this will take a lot less time lol.

Hello

I wish to ask your advices/opinions.

In the last two years, I have lived in Thailand with the following chronologically:

-3 month tourist visa (2 + 1)

-8 month of « covid visa » (4 x 2)

Exit of Thailand to Ffance

Back to Thailand after a week with visa waiver

Roasting interview by immigration on my arrival in BKK airport

-2 month of visa waiver (1 + 1)

-4 month of student visa: 3 month + 1 month extension (out of 3, so 2 month unused)

Exit thailand and back home since 2 month

Total I spent 17 month in the Kingdom. I have been home for 2 month in France.

I plan to go back to Thailand for a short holiday of 1 week next month.

Do I risk to be blocked by immigration in Bangkok. I haven’t changed my passeport yet, so it’s full of different Thai stamps.

Thank you 🙏

I was almost denied entry into Thailand. I am a Dutch passport holder and arrived visa-exempt from Amsterdam a few days ago. This was my first visit since I left in March of this year.

The immigration officer interrogated me. She noted that I had visited Thailand many times, always visa-exempt and getting a 30-day extension. She also told me it’s better to apply for a tourist visa next time. . I’ve always complied with the letter of the law, and never overstayed. In the end, she noted down lots of information into the computer, and asked to see my return flight. I was allowed in. Phew. I asked her if I had done something wrong but she said no, but added that I could be rejected the next time I arrive visa-exempt, depending on the officer.

Now on to my question: Did I do something wrong? I thought the Thai government specifically allowed certain countries to enter visa-exempt to attract tourist and make it hassle-free. Any thoughts are welcome. I don’t wanna risk doing anything bad.

Hello everyone, good advice is very welcome. TR60 Visa since October 2021 with 5 Covid extension.

I would like to extend my stay to travel a little further around Thailand with my Thai GF. We are planning a short trip to Vietnam at the end of the month, would spend a day or two there and then fly back via DMK. I’m gambling with a 45 days stamp.

Is the whole project a promising campaign? I haven't done any other visas or border runs yet.

Side notice: I’m still having my return flight as a backup, but this one starts from BKK… I guess there is also risk involved to get denied entry at all?

Or is it also worth the extra effort to apply for a new TR visa in Vietnam?

Many thanks 🙏
