90 days + 30 days exemption?

Featured Replies

Hey everyone 

 

Having searched more than 20 pages for someone in my exact situation I didn't find an answer. 

 

I am from Denmark and have visited Thailand using the 30 days exemption scheme 6 times since July 2018. Each stay was around 7-14 days (visiting girlfriend every holiday). 

 

On September 1st 2019 I came to Thailand on a 60 days tourist visa which was recently extended for another 30 days (90 days total) in the kingdom. The visa extension will expire this Friday on which day my girlfriend and I will be going to Vietnam for 4 days by air. On December 2 I will come back counting on the 30 days exemption scheme for my last 18 days in Thailand before my booked flight back to Denmark on December 20.

 

The airport we will be flying to from Vietnam is DMK, and yes, I have now read that landborders are a way better option... 

 

My return ticket to Denmark is on December 20, I have travel insurance and I will carry more than 20.000 baht in cash. I am staying with my girlfriend renting a room here in Bangkok. 

 

Now for the magical question: Should I be worried about being allowed back in for my last 18 days with cash, booked flight ticket, girlfriend and insurance??? 

 

All the stories here about rejection, questions etc., but thinking about how thousands and thousands of people going through immigration every day, could the single stories on here not just be a "drop in the sea"? Perhaps I am just making an excuse to stop overthinking though! 

I see no reason for you to have a problem entering the country to get another 30 day visa exempt entry with your history of stays. Also having the ticket out of the country for a stay of less than 30 days will help as well.

Thank you, I sure hope so. Reading all the stories from DMK in particular has got me quite shaky about it, even if I will be nowhere near the magic 180 days line of stay in a year.

There's been hundreds of posts about people in same situation asking exactly same question.

Well, those posts I searched for and spent +60 minutes reading last night were all about Non-Imm O visas and not about the SETV 60 + 30 days extentions and the following experience on getting another 30 days visa exemption by air with a track record like mine.

 

I would be delighted and thankful if you could link me one of those posts or topics though, as I actually spent another 90 minutes or so this morning trying to locate exactly that again.
