Anonieme deelnemer When you do not have a remote job anymore technically you do not comply with visa rules for purpose of stay anymore, and you can be prohibited entry.

Checks on this are not very common, but they can happen, maybe also depending on your profile as it is known by immigration.

Perfect example of stubborn behaviour, calling ignoring instructions just common sense.

Some people always seem to think instructions are not OK and their own very limited view of things is better.

Thai authorities make instructions how they like this process, but the genius called John Hampton of course knows it much better.😂

bad advice, instructions are to show printed copy, just like the advice of
@Winston ***********
, but some stubborn people always find ways to ignore instructions where they can.

That means you just are lucky, and they did not discover you were breaking the rules.

When you are not enrolled anymore in the soft power activity, your stay in Thailand does not match your visa anymore. When you are entering the country the IO can check this, but most times will not do so.

Anonieme deelnemer 984 The heavy misuse everybody can see here will make it more and more difficult to get, even for legitimate applicants.

When you go to Saigon (HCMC) you cannot apply in Hanoi, you have to apply in HCMC (Saigon), it never is a free choice.
Luit *****************
When you read the instructions when you apply, you can see you should print it on paper and show it.

So that simply is the best way and most pleasant for IO.

Some lazy people just show their phone and in most cases that will be OK allthough less pleasant for IO.

I see a lot of reasons why it might not work. The history of 6 months back to back visa exempt you can hardly call touristic use. Tourist might travel for longer periods, and return to tjhe same country every now and then, but tourist don't do border runs.

Once warned will mean chances IO checks next time are high. With a good story, hotel reservations and return ticket it might work.

Topic starter does not tell his real reasons for visiting Thailand, but I don't believe it is just as a tourist, and an IO might also think that way.
