19 years in Thailand, never had the comment that I'm to long here.

And how scary the phrase "They denied a half plane full of people" sounds it still means that the other half did get the visa that fits their purpose and length of stay and entered Thailand without any problems.

Avoid extra costs by flying around the globe to jump hoops and play games, get the correct visa and you can stay inside Thailand without fear of being cought out.

a Thai bank account and a condo in Thailand does not prove you are a tourist or not.

Use it.

Are you sure you can not show financial information like a bank account?

Are you sure you do not have a proof of accommodation as you live in Thailand, I hope you have a roof above your head.

Unemployed is a reason to go on holiday.

You can try to apply for the Extension of Stay based on being unable to travel.

@Joel *******

That is an option if you like to stay a few more months as a tourist.

Remember this:

Embassies want signed copies from bank statements to file with the application.

Immigration on the airports want to SEE if you have the 20.000 Thb or equivalent currency in cash.

Prepare yourself as it is mentioned on the website as a requirement.

Thanks for letting us know the Embassy does check if you have the needed documents.

Enough suggestions. I always like the advice based on I never heard, which is total nonsense as it might happens regular only you did not pay any attention to it.

Safe travels.

I let you know after I polished my crystal ball.

But on a more serieus note, more people getting into Thailand than being denied entry.
