Safe Entry Services - BKK Airport

[SomewhereInAsia]

I have been warned twice to get a visa in CNX, but my  employer has decided not to follow through on their promises to me and so I can't get a visa.

Has anyone ever used this service? https://www.facebook.com/srthaivisaservices/?checkpoint_src=any

I want to do a Safe Entry in Dec 24 or Jan 25 and then another one in April or May of 2025.  I will leave Thailand for good in July 2025, so it doesn't make sense to get a DTV or Ed Visa, too expensive.

 

Advice?  Is Safe Entry going to work or is it a scam?

It's not a scam.

Have dealt with them "for a friend" 

PM attached. They include CNX if that's your entry pint

You could also compare to

Edit: I notice your title indicates BKK. No problem.

I have dealt with Friendly Thai Visa at both bkk airports and it went very smooth and i was out of the airports within minutes.

 

Hope it helps.

I was charged 4,500b at DMK and 5,000b at BKK.

 

They give you a waiting point near immigration at the airport. An IO will come get you, processes you in 2 minutes at an empty desk. No question asked and you're out.

 

Not cheap, but very efficient and practical if you have a long history in Thailand and no long term visa.

Guessing you had history and entering visa exempt.

Granted not cheap but peace of mind hard to put price on that.

OK, so you are working without the correct visa and work permit at the moment? That is one thing IOs look for.

 

That said, you could always get a tourist visa, that might make your entry smoother.

You are right on both accounts

I've seen some people carrying a sign displaying the person's last name in it. I guess this is not the same service?

They broker their people thru SR Services 😛 

SR Services is the REAL DEAL, they can get you in when other people can't, AND they can even get you back in at the same airport IF you were denied entry and shipped out the day before 😮 They really can do what they say, for the price they quote

It is not indeed

[thaiasia]

Have to try it. I don't think I would have a problem entering the country but want to experience it anyway.

 

VIP service 😀

[Tod Daniels]

Don't confuse VIP entry (where they meet you at the gate) with SAFE entry (where they get you IN to thailand)

Most VIP entry or "fast track" services cannot guarantee you get in just that you can jump the queue

You specifically want a service that advertises as SAFE ENTRY

They have you send your passport data page, your most recent entry stamp, a photo of you dressed in the clothes you'll fly in and your flight number. They will check IF they can get you in, and if so you pay, and they'll let you know where to meet them after you land,

It works, in fact it works so well that most of the safe entry companies you see advertising on F/B are running their clients thru SR Services (and you don't even know it) 😛

Thanks for the information. Good to know. I thought they were the same thing.

 

And this will cost about 5000 thb? I'll be flying to Suvarnabhumi airport.

So what is the issue for need for "safe entry" 

That service is not for fast track immigration.

It's for folk with history of visa exempt entry.

If you just want VIP immigration line that's different..

It's still faster. No need to wait in line, right?

 

I've been to Thailand many times and long periods before. Probably unlikely they would deny entry, but who knows. Just want to make sure they let me in.

One important consideration is time since last visit. 

Also depends on how long you plan the stay.

METV is a good option.

The issue now is since visa exempt became 60 day stamp and limit of 2 land border runs per calendar year being removed that METV (to some) seems less appealing.
