Multiple Exempt entries past 4 years, potential problem?

[khunJam]

Will my Mutiple exempt entries and extensions and border bounces pose a problem and possibly denied entering exempt again this June in Chiang Mai?   

 

Entry history-all entries visa exempt in CM:

2018, Flight in 30 day exempt in October then returned Flight in again December for 3 weeks. 

2019, Flight in 30 day exempt in May. Flight in 30 day exempt in September + 30 day extension + border bounce for another 30 days. Flight in 30 day exempt late December.

2021, Flight in 30 day exempt in September + 30 day extension + covid extension + another extension

2022, Flight in 30 day exempt in April. Flight in 30 day exempt in September + extension + border bounce + another extension

2023, Flight in 30 day exempt in March.

 

Thank you all.

OP, slim it down 

You stated...flight IN visa exempt March.

So that implies you are currently in Thailand? 

Then you also state fly into CM in June.

What happens between visa exempt entry in March with possible extension and then where are you till June.

Strange OP.

Ever heard of a METV.

Ok to return in June visa exempt would be no problem. 

The concern for immigration is back to back stays 

Your travel pattern does not fit that. 

No problem.

Unwritten rule 6 exempt entries in 12 months will get you flagged and a warning to get a proper Visa. Never heard of any back to back issues unless it as at the 6 mark.

I believe you will most likely be OK flying in to Chiang Mai, an airport that has historically been less strict on visa exemptions. It seems that most of your periods in Thailand have been of limited duration, and there are significant periods in between. You do not fit the profile of someone who might be an illegal worker, the main category Immigration are concerned about.
