Hello, I have a question for tourists visa to Thailand. Is it possible to get a 3-months tourist visa and then get out and apply another 3-months visa and then do the same after 3 months? Is there a limit to apply for this 3 months visa? Thank you

Need some advice please guys.

I applied for a new tourist visa from PP via an agency in Sihanoukville (used several times without any problems). The agency contacted me a few days later and told me I have to go to PP and see someone at the embassy in person.

I was questioned about why I have so many tourist visas in my passport (I’ve been doing back to back tourist visas for the last 2 years, 3rd in a row from PP).

He couldn’t understand that I wasn’t working in Thailand and I obviously failed to convince him otherwise.

I’m a UK passport holder.

No overstays.

Not old enough for retirement visa.

Not working in Thailand.

Basically I would like to know what my options are and what could possibly happen when I try to return to Thailand.

Thanks in advance.

Has anyone had any experience getting back-to-back 6-month tourist visas with only a few weeks separation?

I had a 6-month visa last winter, returned to Canada for 3 months and got another 6-month tourist visa. That expired yesterday and now I'm back in Canada hoping to get my 3rd 6-month visa within 3 weeks. I'm hoping it's quick and easy because they collect $200 for approving it.

I am planning to do a "border run" to Tachileik in Myanmar this weekend. I have five back-to-back SETVs, all extended in Chiang Mai where I have been continually (visa runs excepted) since March 2016. Am I likely to have any issues? I know the drill, $10 for the visit pass for Myanmar, I did it many times but years ago. My last visa-exempt entry was back in 2015, when I have a couple from Malaysia, none since then. I would hope, if this works, to then stay 60 days (30+30) and then go to Japan for a month or so. Are they likely to want to see money/accommodation/flights?
