Has anyone ever had an issue re-entering Thailand with the visa?

I am not going to renew the retirement visa which is due on 16apr and i am planning to leave on 15apr. As i will back to thailand later 1 week using visa exemption.

1. Do i need to cancel the retirement visa (with multiple re-entry) before i leave?

2. Will i be asked any question when i come back using visa exemption?

3. I may extend 30 days, again will i be asking any quesion (judging of having retirement visa before and now change to visa exemption.)

Hi everyone. My application, sent in Paris, is pending documents checked but I have my flight leaving soon. Does anyone know what happens if it gets approved after I depart to Thailand?

Also, to those who applied to the Paris embassy, do they request an interview?

Thanks all!

EDIT: I got approved ✅

Hello, I’m looking for some advice on my DTV application through HCMC.

I’ve been asked for documents three times now. The latest request just says “Other request documents: Attach documents again. HIGHLIGHT ALL INCOME amounts you received in the bank statement you provided.” I did highlight my income last time but I think the officer got confused. I submitted official Jan and Feb statements plus an unofficial web printout for March and there was overlapping data between them. My bank only publishes statements once a month at the end.

Now I’m debating whether to resubmit now with the overlap removed and everything clearly highlighted a second time with notes explaining each credit to my account, or waiting 2-3 days for my official March statement so I can submit three clean official documents together and highlighted so there is no overlap. Problem is my Vietnam visa expires April 4th so I’m feeling the pressure.

Has anyone dealt with a third document request like this? Would you guys recommend I wait for the official March statement and submit that? Is it possible to leave Vietnam and come back so they can issue it to me? I heard I need to be in Vietnam when they issue me the visa so I was considering doing a border run and waiting it out. The one issue I have is I already booked an Airbnb in Thailand so I’d have to swallow both the cost of the flat and the visa run. Is it possible to go somewhere else and wait for the visa before flying into Thailand or will they ask a third time for where I am?

Entered last night at Surarnabhumi airport, went through the Thai passport line with my Thai girlfriend. Female IO, only question was asking me my purpose of my visit. I said for medical appointments. She spoke to my girlfriend in Thai about how cheaper medical care is here in Thailand and stamped my passport for 180 days. I have enter multiple times since getting my DTV over a year ago with no problems.

BKK AIRPORT

I entered Thailand for the second time today with a DTV visa. I left Thailand on January 28 and returned today. The immigration officer at Bangkok Airport (BKK) asked me how many days I had left. After answering, I received a new entry stamp for six months. My friend, who is in the same situation, entered without any questions at a different immigration officer.

I have a DTV visa and I've now completed my 6-month stay. I'm going to Laos and will be returning this Sunday. I'd like to know what kind of questions immigration might ask, based on your experiences? Thanks a lot.

Happy new year everyone had 4/5 visa free stays last year but only stayed a few weeks each time before returning home or travelling to Laos did maybe 3 trips there only a week or 2 into my Thai exemption 60 days arrived Don Mueng 3 weeks ago and was questioned by immigration referral but allowed in stayed a week then went to Laos been there 2 weeks and hoping to return to Thailand for a few weeks

Should I anticipate problems ? Or have limits now been reset ?

Update **

Stamped in 60 days visa exempt at BKK

Hi there.

My visa application is rejected. I applied 17 dec /rejected 22 dec. I applied for worcation , i provided nearly 1 million baht of savings (last 6 months). I provied my uk Ltd files. I provided wise and payoneer invoices. Proof of accommodation and proof of current place (hanoi). I sent A dashboard screenshot of my portfolio as im working e-commerce cash on delivery. I highlighted the countries's currencies where I operate to proof that i don't operate in Thailand. I don’t why i got rejected? Did i miss something or what? Should i contact them? They didn't give the reason of rejection. Should i go visit the embassy maybe i get some clarification about the reason of rejection? (I can add my files add i provided for discussion here in the comments if that's okay)

Arrived Bangkok a few days ago with a new DTV Visa issued in Vancouver.

Thirty Seconds until six month entry stamp. Zero Questions. Female IO.

I am curious. Despite some people getting thouroughly questioned upon entry, has anyone had FIRST HAND experience of actually getting rejected from entry at the border with a DTV Visa, or are these concerns unwarranted?

Also does anyone getting thoroughly questioned or verified come from what might be labeled a first world country or travel on a top tier passport (ie. Western Europe, Five Eyes Nation, Japan/S Korea…

And if questioned thoroughly, or asked for extra information, was your visa issued in Laos or Vietnam?

Curious if there are any patterns of inquiry.

(Please keep this thread kind. 🙏🏼)
