This also depends on where your passport is from? What do you look like? How are you dressed? Do you appear to have money? When they ask what you do for a living what is your answer? In case taken to a secondary room do you have 20,000 baht on you? A return flight?

If it looks like they have not showered in a week with holes in their shirt. They say they don’t have a job and just visiting for the 3rd time this year they may be denied entry.

Now if a well dressed person, well spoken, and nice clothes tries to enter Thailand for the 5th time this year they may not be questioned. Even if they are questioned what they do for a living and they say something like retired with a high pension that helps.

So it all just depends. Tell the truth as any lie will hurt.

That was your warning. You are now flagged. Do as they say and get a long term visa.

Join a “Expat building in Thailand” or other group. It’s the same as divorce the negative stories make it to the top of the headlines all over the world.

@James *******

really great information I knew about the three months but had no clue about the year multi entry. 1 million thank yous. 🙏 😊

@Brandon ***********

i did not know this. Honestly prefer to leave Thailand often so a multi entry visa sounds better and removes the 400k requirement? Crazy how I missed this.

@Ellie ******

yes I left after 90 days Non-O and used 400k to be approved. Unfortunately I don’t think I will have 400k saved up again until end of the year so was hoping to switch to bank statements. Thank you for the information.

@Siri ********

. Besides helping with the bank account she also helped me get my driver license while on a tourist visa. Made things simple. She is located in Chiang Mai. Highly recommend her.

@Steve ******

is that in Bangkok? Anyone in chiang mai and needs a great cheap agent I will find the contact information again for her. Cheap and awesome person.

A letter from USA embasy is 1900. With taxi Grab rides I would have most likely paid over 2500. So money well spent. Just hire an agent and relax. They know the friendly banks that work with tourist visas.

You are making this way to complicated. I had a bank tell me I needed a letter from my embassy. I left. I had a bank tell me they wanted 5900 baht life insurance policy. I left.

Truth is I hired an agent I believe it was 2500. This is in chiang mai. She went to immigration got the residency certificate and drove me up to the correct bank. Super simple. Took an hour of my time on a tourist visa.
