Hello,

I will be doing a third entry in Thailand in about 3 months this in total, would you recommend getting a safe entry service?

I’ve seen posts of people being rejected all the time here with visa exemptions.

Here is my recent travel history:

• First entry into Thailand: June 5th to July 16th (total: 42 days)

• Trip to Indonesia: July 16th to July 23rd

• Second entry into Thailand: July 23rd to August 13th (total: 21 days)

• Now traveling to the Philippines: August 13th to August 30th

I plan to return to Thailand on August 30th and stay for another 60+30 days, but I’m concerned because it would be my third entry in under three months, even though the total time spent in Thailand is around 63 days.

Thanks!

I usually use just the passport.Visa exempt stamp in my passport and then I go out of the country every sixty days and I have had no problems. This trip I have a tourist Visa which is valid until October multiple entries.And at the end of the two months I went to laos and when I came back to don muang i was pulled aside and taken to an area where they looked at my history of traveling. They made me show them my Visa. My bank accounts in America how much money I had on my hotel reservation, My return ticket to America which is in October and also I had to get my girlfriend's I.D picture and show them that. So after all that they did allow me entry but they said if I try to do a two month exit and come back again they will possibly ban me from coming to thailand. I thought the tourist Visa would not be a problem.So what everyone has been saying about it becoming more difficult to come back into thailand after short exits is true. As of today I will be leaving one month before my return ticket date. I may go to the immigration office and try to apply for an extension and see.I have the same problem.I did at the airport. Anybody have a suggestion on that?
