What are the implications of the new visa exempt entry restrictions in Thailand?

Adam *****

back when visa exempt entries were limited to 2 entries at land borders (before the 60 day visa exempt policy), the government had carved out an exemption for citizens of neighbouring countries (I know about Laos and Malaysia, not sure about Cambodia and Myanmar). Still created issues for expats, though.

What are the chances of being denied entry to Thailand after applying for a DTV while having a lease on a condo?

Adam *****

Immigration won't know about your lease. They know about your entry history, though. However, I don't think you'll be denied entry with DTV

Can I do a one-day border run to Laos from Thailand on an ED visa?

Adam *****

your visa history with the ED is risky. Moreover, a lot of the data comes from before Nong Khai was a lot more relaxed - they're really more strict now. Why don't you get an agent, or fly in with safe entry?

What should I do if immigration officers are uninformed about the current visa rules in Thailand?

Adam *****

For an immigration officer to conclude that a day tripper is abusing the visa exemption scheme is quite ridiculous, especially since you probably have residency in Laos. At least if they deny entry, all you got to do is just turn around and go back home.

Is the 99-year land lease and 10-year tourist visa proposal in Thailand legitimate or just speculation?

Adam *****

There is a 10 year tourist visa existing already. It's called the Elite Visa :) unfortunately many of us are unable or unwilling to pay the fee.
