fortunately I was let in , but warned must get visa next time , I was just trying to let people know it just not all about extensions or boarder bounces they are just tightening up things generally, in my opinion
I often read you posts and respect, but things are changing , I done 3 visits in last 12 months , all visa exemption and first 40 day then 2 x 60 day ,but no extension ever and no border bounces ever always back to uk for a month or two , last officer asked how long staying, I replied 60 day , he shook his head and said too long , I now in Cambodia, like I said at first respect your post but it is not just about border bounces
Not sure how fussy there are but actually nationwide is not a bank either it’s a building society, not being funny but just saying technically not a bank and that’s why they refused wise
It wasn’t 4 times in under 7 months it was 4 times in 12 months , total time spent in the country was just under 7 months , sorry if you misread or I wasn’t clear , as I travel a lot and was going back and forth I didn’t realise the total number of days was so much that is what I meant
Glad it humoured you , I was merely saying I know if I had got offensive or even defensive in the wrong manner I am sure would have been denied, only trying to advise people that if they ever in the situation don’t start spouting there is no limit bla bla bla as some may seem to suggest
I was also pulled aside , didn’t realise at the time I had entered 4 times totalling just under 7 months , was eventually allowed in after many questions , but remained polite , they allowed me in but said next time visa required , so it is always down to immigration officer, there maybe guidelines they follow but there is know difinitive 180 day rule as mine totalling 192
my thoughts exactly keeping my money in England in bonds more than pays for agent fees , and should there be another Covid or similar your money is not stuck in Thailand, also should anything happen I am pretty sure any beneficiary would have slim chance of getting money
