Can anyone comfirm if immigration border control services are open this coming holiday, Monday 12th of August, for in and out stamps?

Hi.

I have a UK passport and have entered Thailand via BKK 3 times in the last 5 months under the visa exempt scheme.

I’m planning to return very soon on 5 May via BKK for 14 days before going on to Vietnam for 10 days then returning to Thailand via BKK for a further 14 days.

Some research I’ve done states that only 3 visa exempt entries are allowed in a six month period.

Other research says unlimited visa exempt entries by air are allowed.

I’m confused?

Hi all, has anyone recently finished one year of education visa in Thailand and then tried to return to Thailand on a tourist visa within a few weeks/one month of leaving? Wondering if there is any anecdotal evidence about how immigration officers are responding to this at various borders. Thanks so much in advance!

FYI: PENANG CONSULATE requested 20K proof to issue a tourist visa.

They rejected my Spanishs friend coz they didn't have it.. this was in Dec 2022..

Anyone that can share their experiences of bouncing at Satun, Malaysia border recently.

I’m on a 45 day visa exemption. My British passport has almost ran out of pages and I’m applying for a new one at VFS. They’ll give me back my old passport, albeit with corner cut off, whilst British passport office prints out a new, blue passport for me.

Do I have to carry both passports through immigration at the airport when I leave, or, do I need to get the thai visa moved to my new passport?

Good afternoon,

Is the Border Control Room in Suvarnabhumi, the place where I can get the re-entry permit, before or after customs?

I see this question has been asked before but since it was last year just want to make sure if there were any changes since then.

Thanks a lot in advance!

This came up on the Korat Ex-Pats group. Is this true? I cannot find anything official.

hello everyone, maybe the question will be out of the topic and I apologize in advance: I am currently in Siem Reap and I want to come back to Thailand, however my return flight to Europe leaves from Bangkok, I have an Italian passport but I am in the Southeast Asia as early as February. The question is, could there be any complications with the visa issue? Has anyone crossed the border by air between Cambodia and Thailand in the past two days? or even today? As I wish I could book the flight that leaves after ten pm this evening. Given the nature of the question, it can also be answered in Italian.

Regarding Multiple Tourist Visa’s obtained outside Thailand.

My recent questions concerned how many Tourists Visa applications are possible and I was advised there is no official limit and Tod Daniels was adamant about this.

However this does not appear to be the case in reality. I am loosely connected with a group of Missionaries who have no church backing so they travel on their own expenses.

It appears that many of these people are being given a hard time at the border crossings and a number have been denied entry recently or given a serious grilling. My neighbour’s are an example of only getting back into Thailand after prolonged interrogation about their source of funding.

It seems that regardless of the Tourist Visa rules it is finally down to the immigration officer at the border who has the final say.

Recently the situation has become much more difficult and so I too am concerned for the entry clearance of my fiancee from the Philippines who is dependent upon me as a Non O retiree as she also travels on a Tourist Visa.

So is there a possibility of appeal should an entry be refused.
