I doubt immigration will care, however your bank may if there are long periods of inactivity on your account they may freeze your account or cancel it.

I don’t know why this confuses people. You are travelling from the country you start your journey from unless you leave the transit airport and enter that country. Your flight number for TDAC purposes is the one you land in Thailand on. If you leave the airport on your lay over ( transfer) that’s where you started your journey from.

If you have extended your visa your departure date will be stamped in your passport. You apply for a new visa online but you will need to be outside of the country. This response is based on the very limited information you have supplied.

The following is in relation to visa exempt entry. ( 60 days).

Every entry is the discretion of the immigration officer you stand in front of. There is no set limit to air entries or limit to number of days you can stay per year. The authorities are concerned with people using border runs and extensions rather than getting the correct visa. If you have visited two or three times returned to your home country or some other country in between for a significant period before returning to Thailand you should not have a problem. If you have used a 30 day extension on your previous visits then you may have an issue. ( only allowed 2 extensions now per year 30 days first visit then 7 days next visit) People will say you will never be asked for the three proofs but I always have them with me. The three proofs are 1. 20,000 Thai baht or equivalent in another currency in cash ( bank statements proof on an ap etc will not do , cash only)

2. Proof of address in Thailand

3. Return ticket out of Thailand within 60 days of entry.

If the IO is looking to refuse you entry he may use you not having one of those as an excuse.

People will disagree with my above post and some will likely get personal and abuse. The above is based on my actual experience for the last 4 years. I have only just got a multi entry OA non immigration visa. Up to that I traveled to Thailand every two months for a two month stay only ever been asked for proof of address and return ticket, never been asked to show the cash. Only reason I switched to the visa was so I could open a Thai bank account. Hope this post helps.

I think immigration are bothered about long visa exempt stays with extensions tagged on each stay and only a few days between entries. Coming several times a year for a few weeks at a time with weeks or months in between should be no problem.

@Simon ******

I have never used an agent , this was in the refusal letter from UK visa service at gov.uk

@Simon ******

I appreciate your experience but I did all of that and was told they needed a bank account in their name with funds to support them and they needed a long term tenancy or proof of ownership of property in Thailand. I suppose the application just got in front of the wrong jobsworth twat at uk immigration….twice!

I’m not ready to get married 😂😂😂😂🙏

@Graham *****

do you see the difference between myself and the OP as opposed to your situation? No??

Your wife whom you are married to …. and OP girlfriend and my partner. Neither of us are married. I’m glad your wife was able to get a tourist visa without jumping through the hoops that we have to jump through.

I showed uk visa applications my Thai retirement visa , evidenced my relationship and swore an affidavit in support of the application, I am also a UK solicitor. I exhibited my bank accounts showing ample funds. The refusal letter stated that the applicant , my partner, needed to have their own funds in a Thai bank account AND show ownership or long term tenancy of a Thai property in their own name before a visa would be granted.

If you are coming for short stays on visa exempt and not extending your stays at immigration you should be perfectly fine. Despite frequent visits you are actually acting like a genuine tourist. Despite this it may be worth having the three proofs with you when you enter.

1. 20,000 Thai baht or equivalent in cash

2. Proof of address in Thailand

3. Proof of onward travel within 60 days of entry.

Good luck
