@James ****

if it sounds too good to be true then maybe it is

As clearly explained by

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

, immigration very unlikely to ask for anything, as can be confirmed by many with extensive travel history

For me it’s more a question of whether you believe in probability or possibility

Probability close to zero if not in the category targeted by immigration, possibility is either you get checked or you don’t

Like winning the lottery, very low chances but someone actually wins

In certain European countries, you can only access E-visa if you prove residency in home country. I work as expat in Africa and it is impossible for to apply for e-visa as I don’t have registered address in home country

Thanks, got me calmed down….

I have been visiting Thailand many times over the years, working overseas but taking all my vacation/holidays in Thailand, usually comes out like 2-3 weeks twice a year, never had any problems. Now getting a little worried with all the stories about people getting rejected entry. Would anyone have an idea or opinion whether the trend of rejections is increasing or has it just always been like this?

@Stuart ********

like banks/brokers say when referring to excellent profits on investment, past performance is no guarantee of future profit. Just because someone managed to get in a number of times does not guarantee everyone will be able to do the same thing

No discussion that it is up to the IO to decide in each case case if visa exempt. But I think you can make some assumptions on what to expect based on your travel history and maybe personal behavior/appearance

Arriving a second time within a year on visa exempt and having no history I think is pretty safe. Literally millions of people enter every year

@David ******

also real worried that the system for some unclear reason rejects the application, and if supporting documents like return ticket, hotel reservations etc need to be uploaded it will add another layer of complexity to the travel

Maybe it will be delayed?
