but even in Poipet they told me I must go fly and it’s all gonna be fine . They said : if you fly you have money then..🤷‍♀️immigration logic 😂

@Alex ******

I stay in Thailand for more than 4 years but I did not need to do a border run ( long story), so I just did not know about it , yes.

@Ivan ***********

yeah, I just did not know it before 😅🙈

Well, I think, of there are no rejections cases on Laos border( and others), so it also does not really matter the calendar year🤷‍♀️I just guess

@John *********

yeas, I listed it cause I have been rejected once. Now I know how it all works. I just tell you there are no special “flagging”, they just can give you a rejection stamp and you can go to another border. Or only black list. And with a black list there is no chance to get in( all agencies know it), yes, that’s we agreed 😅😅🤗

@Tungaa ***

if you stay for long term in Thailand non stop, calendar rules won’t work for you. You will have an interview with the officer. You should know their requirements ahead. It’s like the exam

@Luc ***********

no, you are wrong

@Ivan ***********

no man, not really. I stayed for more than 3 years on special extensions. When I went for a travel in February , the immigration in Poipet did not let me in back to Thailand. So calendar year rules is blshit. It’s all about your history AND if you answer correct to their questions. It’s like an exam

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

you are very right about about it .

It’s up to officers. Thai immigration does not like people stay long on short term visas. Even when it’s legal

@John *********

I just want to add on the last point. Cause I had a pretty deep experience with Thai immigration system.

They don’t flag anyone in the system unless you get a ban.

A ban you can get if you overstay more than 3 months. If you don’t overstay there are no official orders to put you on the black list and they only can reject your entry for a few official requirements you don’t fit: not enough money(thb cash), your purpose of visit does not match with the visa you apply ( tourist), your length of stay is longer than can be considered, you don’t have a ticket out of the country and no proof of accommodation. I think , I listed all of the requirements.

Ah, the important part is when they ask you about a job. NEVER tell them you will work remotely. It’s gonna be counted like you will work in the country.

The immigration has a very strict requirement list , they ask you many questions and you should answer correct ✅ so they can’t reject you 😊

@Alex ******

no no no! This advice does not work since 2023!

I did follow this thinking and instead of a flight I came back from my trip to Calbodia with a land border. Got rejected at Poipet border. They explained me that the rules changed, and land borders are more strict than airports immigration. You can do 2 land border run a year only now and still can be rejected to enter if you have multiple visits
