Exit23

Many thanks for such a detailed answer wmlc I have now got about 2 months of hotel and flight bookings around SE Asia after I leave Thailand, so I'm sure I can convince the IO that I am a genuine tourist. Proof of funds is not an issue I am in early 50's, but will dress as a respectable middle aged gent for the airport. Lol. I will post here to update if I have any issues or sail through. After this, not due back to Thailand until end of Feb, escaping before Songkran. Hopefully the Visa / VE thing will be better defined by then (some chance!!)

Hi all, Sorry guys, I know this has been done to death, but I have started hearing about issues on 3rd VE entries in the last week, and looking for latest ground truth! I have had 2 VE holidays in Thailand in the last 4 months. Both genuine 2 week holidays, Flying into BKK and out from Phuket. No issues. I have a 3rd planned for next month, flying in to DMK from Singapore and out from Phuket on to Bali. Again, a genuine 2 week holiday in Thailand. I fly on a UK passport. I asked UK Thai embassy for clarification of rules, but they don't seem to know. I emailed Thai immigration for clarification of rules, but they don't respond Applying for an e-visa apparently I need to prove I am coming to Thailand from my home country - I live a pretty nomadic existance, don't really have a home! So not an option. My biggest fear is that Thai immigration refuse me entry and send me to the UK. Which would be very inconvenient as all my future travel plans for the next few months are in SE Asia. Should I have any concerns at all about getting in to Thailand, or should I just go to Malaysia instead? You guys on here seem pretty clued up, so looking for advice based on the latest info.
