It was my 6th entry in December yes I did get in but was advised it could have been different story with a different immigration officer

I’m not game to try again without a proper visa

Most tourists don’t come and go 6 times a year like I do that’s the problem and after discussing this at immigration with the last official that let me through he wouldn’t recommend it get a more appropriate visa then your not going to have problems

Yes for sure before the November crackdown it wasn’t an issue especially when your flying home not doing border runs

I can’t stay longer than a month at a time hence my more frequent short trips but if I stayed for the 2 maximum blocks of time that wouldn’t be a problem but now it’s problematic so applying for the appropriate visa seems to be the best option

Hi guys just from my experience I made 6 entries visa exempt last year my last one in December after the changes

I’ve always returned home to Australia never stayed longer than a month at a time

I’d seen many sad stories of people being refused entry prior to my last trip with lesser entries

The lady I had at immigration was very thorough and let me in but did say it could have been a different story with a different immigration officer

She advised me to obtain a proper visa if I’m to continue coming often as I have been

Your playing Russian roulette visa exempt at the moment if you come frequently

I’ve applied for a DTV

It’s not a great feeling travelling and hoping you get let in I wouldn’t risk it again visa exempt

This is Thailand common sense of you history and good track record does not apply with domestic immigration officials
