May 17, 20241 yr I hold a UK passport and I currently reside in Laos with a Lao Business (non-working) visa. Last month I visited Bangkok for my Thai son's graduation ceremony. I flew into Swampy and entered using the Visa on Arrival route, returning back to Laos the following day. Next week I will fly into Swampy using a VoA and stay for 1 week of holiday, then flying back to Laos. But then I plan to return to Bangkok a few weeks later for a personal visit, flying into Swampy and using the VoA system. My question: Will I be denied entry into Thailand on my 3rd VoA visit this year? From Laos, it's not possible to apply for an e-visa for tourists - I would have to visit the Thai embassy in Vientiane (which would be a real 'hassle')
May 17, 20241 yr Not VoA but waiver, normally those with long term visa to live in other ASEAN countries have no problems entering Thailand as often as they like.
May 17, 20241 yr OP, you won't have any issues with visa exempt entry. Your travel history causes no concern.
May 17, 20241 yr It's visa exempt entries not VoA and you'll have no problem at all. Even if you came in every month you shouldn't have a problem given the short stays you do
May 17, 20241 yr Just now, Andrew Dwyer said: Confusing thread but i think you are using visa exempt not VOA or waiver ? He is UK. He means visa exempt entry. 30 day stamp
May 17, 20241 yr Author Mea Culpa, yes I mean visa exempt. And thanks for the advice, I just wanted to avoid/plan for any issues with the IO on my 3rd trip 🙂
