Just booked a fast track departure today. Hope it’s honored

I was taken into a room at BKK last year and questioned about multiple entries over the years and the long stay during Covid. They were fine when i showed them my onward ticket. You never know but I wouldn’t try it without a valid return or onwards

Took a bout 75 mins to get processed but they were great. No questions and did the photocopies I forgot to do for free and she corrected a couple of mistakes I made on the form. could not have been nicer

Young Male guy at the desk and an older male who pulled me to the questioning area, and I was using fast track

Had some grief last year at BKK while entering on Visa exempt. Pulled aside and asked questions. It was disconcerting but probably overdue. Had a lot of covid extensions and an expired B visa from a brief period of employment here. Also a handful of visa exempt entries from that year. Flown in twice to Phuket this year with “minimal” questioning on Visa exempt and plan to take a 2 month break From Thailand to get a tourist Visa from UK (will then not visit Thailand again until 2025) Hope I don’t get any problems next time around. Would recommend avoiding BKK There is no “proper Visa” I can get, before anyone starts.

Had this issue recently at BKK. Had previously entered on a tourist visa then went home for a month and came back on 30 day exemption. (Had previously had B visa and WP and loads of COVID extensions l) got pulled aside and asked a bunch of questions, showed them my onward ticket to China in 30 days and they were fine with it. Have avoided entering through BKK since then tho.

Thanks for the replies, guys!

Anyone done a 30 day visa exemption extension in Udon Thani? TM30 completed by hotel in Udon. 2 entries to Thailand this year and this will be my first extension. Is it a reasonable Immigration office, or should I expect some BS? thanks

You can’t “hack” someone’s bank account just by giving someone your account number. Account numbers aren’t sensitive information like a PAN on a credit card. You can’t do anything with it except to send someone money. Example here: https://www.thepattayaorphanage.org/or/?page_id=44 they publish their account number online so people can donate.

No, they are only allowed to refuse entry of someone is strongly suspected of working in Thailand without a work permit. there is no rule whatsoever about someone living in TH using visa exemptions. They are not breaking any law whatsoever

After 2 years of coming and going on tourist exempt and covid extensions I finally got pulled out of the queue a while ago. The guy was nice enough and I explained I had money and no longer worked and travelled a lot in Thailand. he pointed out I had previously had business visas and work permit and I told him i stopped work 2 years ago. He let me through after a few mins. not a pleasant experience, but not a grilling either

Never get a follow up, do you? they come here, have a meltdown and never come back

How are these places with re-entry permits? Do you get questions at the airport when coming and going?

Did he ever even apply for a visa or was it just another troll post?

You never get an update on these cases, do you?
