Paranoia On VE Entry?

[grandpollo]

History (by going through my passport) one VE entry October 2017, one October 2018, one March this year and planning on returning June 3.

 

Each visit was around 25 days. I can't leave my country for more than 31 days, because I have unlimited health cover (any amount, any reason, any age, any pre-existing conditions -and it's free) as long as I go back home every 31 days, and I spend 4-5 days in HK each trip. So no way to stay more than 31 days anywhere unless I go through hoops for medical cover. So for sure never been in Thailand even 30 days in a row, ever.

 

So trying to make sense of VE rules, e.g. X times in Y months totalling Z days, in my case it's not a lot, 25 days in the last 6 months to date (March) and 50 in the last year (October to April this year when I left), and want to add 25 more. So 75 days from October 2018 to July 2019. 

 

Not likely to go back until mid-November as I cycle in Thailand and it's getting close to being too wet daily until then anyway.

 

I enter at Fast Track via Cathay Pacific business class each time, exit the same way. 

 

I can get a single entry tourist visa in my city in one business day but is it necessary? I wonder if the consulate would ask me for a 25 day visit why I am even there asking for one.

You've got nothing to worry about, keep using visa exempts.

Much ask about nothing.  Three in Fast Track,  I chose a male IO and it was the same as every other entry.  No flipping of pages no looking at me just type type stamp stamp.  I am not sure if they're using the camera at all.  I sort of stood there and looked at the Webcam on a stick for 5 seconds and then went to the fingerprint thing.
