Back to BKK

[pantsonfire]

Hi all

 

Back in 2021 i stayed bkk with tourist visa plus about 5 covid extensions.  

I left in 2022 with 4 day overstay and the  reapplied tourist visa and rentered via chiang mai and then bkk after 1 month back in uk.

Recent trip i got tourist + 30 days + 1 covid extension and left with 14 overstay(was hospitalied and needed to.opearte).

 

I entered bkk on 1st Feb 23 via TR and extended and left on 1st May.  

I then entered Bkk on 22nd June via TR and left on 13th Sept.  60TR + 30 day Ext

Entered Bkk on Oct 24th on TR and left on Jan 21st + 30 day Ext

 

Iam looking to go back for Songkran and have started applying for TR to enter around end of Feb/Begin of March

 

What are my options of getting in?  Fly in to BKK airport?

You often ask this question.

With a SETV you should have a good chance.

Without not good. 

Have a clear itinerary showing some initial accommodation bookings etc.

Just want to be sure before purchasing a ticket

That's the problem.

Nobody can be sure or state with any certainty that you will not have a problem .

 

A visa helps but even that is no guarantee 

Also 2 overstays and yes have read the reasons in previous threads of yours. 

They are not a big concern. It's more collective time spent in Thailand along with time between visits. 

 

Don't recall a refused entry at CNX even with extensive history

Where are you flying to Thailand from? 

You could consider flight to Saigon to extend your time out of Thailand.

Especially if you are visa exempt for Vietnam. Nice joint , then fly Saigon to CNX

You could consider a METV.

Depends how long you wish to stay in Thailand.

You might have been able to avoid this overstay with a medical extension of stay. Water under the bridge now, of course, and, as already said, probably won't be held against you in your present quest to revisit LOS. But worth bearing in mind IMHO should you be faced with a similar situation in future.

You can do the 90 day report on a hospital gurney.  It has wheels on it.  No excuse.

The overstay isnt the issue as ive reentered twice into bkk already. The qiestion is how close can i go back to bkk since i returned back to uk on Jan 21st that i can return back to bkk.  Just had my TR approved. The application process is much more painfree and faster.

Out of interest....did you need to provide flight out of Thailand for the application process.

Thinking longer the better.

I do my usual, use an airline app, go through until confirmation before pay, then capture on phone and use that as my flight info
