Should I be Concerned About Too Many Visits to Thailand on a Tourist Visa?

Michael ********

No. Only 2 visits in a year. That is unlikely to attract attention.

How Long Should I Stay Outside Thailand Before Returning on a Tourist Visa?

Michael ********

@Dustin ********

That is good for you, but what happens to you has absolutely zero reference to what may happen to someone else with a history of stays in Thailand.

How Long Should I Stay Outside Thailand Before Returning on a Tourist Visa?

Michael ********

There is no amount of time out of the country that will make any difference, as your history is on the computer. Anyone who tells you otherwise is delusional.

What Should I Do If I Can't Return to Thailand on a Tourist Visa?

Michael ********

No there is not. History is history and can't be undone with time out of the country as it is all computerised now at the airport. You will need to look at other options. Get a job with WP, business visa or Elite visa or get married (if that is an option). Good luck.

Can Someone with Two British Passports Get a Non-B Visa While Switching Passports?

Michael ********

You can switch passports when leaving by air, but you can't switch passports when leaving by land. So he will have no problem.

What are the details of the new SMART Visa announced for Thailand?

Michael ********

Not sure how many start up entrepreneurs will be making 200k a month too quickly ;) For the I visa, you need to invest 20 million baht, damn that is a lot......I guess these are all just steps towards a higher quality of expat in Thailand with money and insurance. Fair enough too..............Great visa options though. No work permit.

Do I need to show proof of health insurance when re-entering Thailand on a Non-IMM O-A visa issued before October 2019?

Michael ********

6 month multi entry tourist or 60 days tourists, but not a good long term strategy. Or send 800k to a bank in Thailand and leave it there. Get a 90 day NON O and then enter Thailand. Extend for a year and get a multi re-entry permit. Come and go when you want. Extend every year while in Thailand.
