ok, so very recent. As for Brandon saying "plenty of reports", Group Admins and Moderators are seeing dealing with these things a lot more than we might realise, maybe answering people's questions via private messages at times and some of them having contacts within Thai Immigration (I've seen A Moderator mention that on more than one occasion).

CreativeRambutan3444 yeah, John's comment was over the top, but you're a member of this group and a regular visitor to Thailand and didn't see any mention of the TDAC? I would have thought that someone who's a regular visitor would keep themselves up to date with and changes that may affect visitors to Thailand 🤔

@Rusty *****

ohh for goodness sake another goose telling people to fill it in after the plane arrives - have you not read some of the recent posts about people taken out of the queue to go through Immigration Control at the airport because they hadn't completed the TDAC before they boarded the plane? This problem means that Airport staff are having to do work that they shouldn't have to do, rather than the work that they should be doing. It should be completed BEFORE boarding the plane, thus causing less headaches for everyone.

@Willy ******

while you are correct about the Extensions, Two Visa Exempt entries isn't actually correct. There used to be a limit of two within a year through Land Borders (not calendar year, but within a year, depending on when one had done previous entries), but that was removed. Visa Exempt entries through Airports has never had any limit.

Someone who uses two Visa Exempt entries and gets extensions, on their next visit may be refused at the discretion of the Immigration officer depending on previous entry history and whether the IO thinks someone is trying to live in Thailand, rather than being a genuine tourist.

Official statistics show that a genuine Thailand tourist spends 7-14 days in the country on average and doesn't maximise Exempt entries and Extensions. Those people have and most likely, will be granted multiple Visa Exempt entries within a year, especially if there's proof of returning to their home country for periods of time. As you said, two Exempt entries and those extensions, are still generous.

@Vladimír ****

while "case by case and vary by Embassy" is certainly true, when did you get your DTV?

So many irresponsible foreigners telling people in groups like this, that the TDAC can be filled in at the airport upon arrival! This is obviously adding considerable time queueing when arriving in Thailand airports.

Do the TDAC BEFORE your flight, it's not too hard. You don't need to answer questions with a red asterisk (*), as they're not compulsory. This can be done UP TO 72 hours before arrival in Thailand. Make it easier for yourself and other people.

Marry the woman, it's the only way and the right thing to do. Though, with your recent history as you've stated it in this post, it's highly unlikely that it's going to be easy to get in on further tourist entries, as since November, Immigration have been cracking down on those doing multiple Border Runs over a short period of time like you have.

Unless you're going to marry the girl and support her and the child, get yourself castrated... there's too many irresponsible men in the world!

@Scott ********

ohh, so you're one of those responsible men who can't keep his tool in his pants, then run when you've caused trouble eh? Or just making a joke without indicating that?

if one has the freedom and money to do so, why not?
