@Manu *******

congrats! Yes, I told ya, Chong Chom is a very relaxed border . . they love farang tourists over there and don't give 'em any trouble

@Lynnette ******

it is the usual confusion between a visa and a stay permit

@Tore ********

Well, if you will be allowed a second visa-exempt entry, after you maxxed out your last one with a 30-days extension, is totally up to the decision of the Immigration officer at the border

If – only if! - you get pulled aside, he will ask you some questions, like what you are doing in Thailand

For this, you should be prepared to show the famous three proofs:

*** a ticket out of Thailand within the next 60 days

*** a booked accommodation for the next few nights

*** cash worth 20,000 THB in Thai Baht or equivalent in another main currency

reply to 1, well, it depends

*** if you entered on a 90-days Non-Imm-O Retirement Visa, no proof is needed where the 800,000 THB came from, when you apply for the 1-year extension

*** if you entered on a tourist visa or visa-exempt, and want to apply for the “change” to a 90-days Non-Imm-O Retirement Visa on Immigration inside Thailand, you need a proof that the 800,000 THB came from abroad, and that it sits in the account. No seasoning needed at this point

*** some Immigrations (Jomtien!) ignore this rule, but will want to see a seasoning of 2 months for the application to the initial visa

@Manu *******

this means you got "flagged" in the Immigration computer. If I was you I would NOT fly in but try your luck at a land border

@Manu *******

you got your wires crossed. You have been warned, you have been "flagged" . you are at a very high risk of being refused. The Chong Chom border to Thailand is said to be relaxed. You are invited to find out how far you can get

@James *******

who hasn't lost his heart in Heidelberg? 😂😂😂 and made it his home 😉

@Manu *******

okay, so your next entry is after you maxxed out the visa-exempt 60 days with a 30 days extension, or just exited Thailand before the 60 days were up? In the later case, You have a chance getting stamped in for 60 days, again, at the Chong Chom border, which is known to be a very relaxed border crossing. But feel warned, for the future, get the correct visa if you want to stay for 6 months, get the multi entry 6-months tourist visa in the country were you are resident (i.e. Home country) because this is the only place where you can apply for it. In all other countries you can only apply for the single entry 60-days tourist visa

Flo Pete Peters . . if you have already been pulled aside twice, you can rest aussure that you have been "flagged" in Immigration's central computer system. You are at HIGH risk being denied entry. Have a plan B

@James *******

something is not right here. His profile shows he has just visited Thailand recently, 2 weeks ago . . he is trying consecutive entries, with or without a visa, doesn't matter if he has already maxxed out 6 months
