I mean, I’ve never been asked, but I also know that if you are asked and you don’t have one, they will just pull you aside and make you book one before passing you through immigration… not a big deal 🤷🏻♀️
If you’re traveling, just use tourist visa, travel somewhere else for a few weeks, return on tourist visa, repeat… I have a condo in Bangkok and that’s what I’ve been doing for the past year.
