Has Anyone Used “Friendly Thailand Visa” for Safe Entry? Need Advice

[Katekawaii]

Hi everyone,

 

I’m currently in Thailand, but on my last entry, immigration stopped me and told me I’ll need a visa for my next visit. They also mentioned that I’ve been flagged in the system and that the free visa exemption can only be used for 120 days per calendar year.

 

For context, I’ve already entered Thailand 3 times at BKK airport this year, with one time 30-day extension.

 

I contacted a service called “Friendly Thailand Visa”, and they quoted me 4,500 THB for a fast-track or “safe entry” option. They even claim a 100% guarantee that I won’t have any problems at the airport, but I’m still nervous because I don’t want to risk being denied entry. 

 

My situation: I need to do one more visa run so I can stay long enough to save up for the required bank statement to apply for a DTV visa in November.

 

Has anyone here actually used this service before? Is it legit and safe? If not, what would you recommend instead?

 

Any advice or real experiences would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks in advance.

No denials reported yet, using this service.

If nervous about using air at all, due to fear of lock-up and forced-exit, you could use a land border - Laos or Rayong (Cambodia border closed currently).

Recent thread where used this mob after refused entry and flown back to Vietnam. 

Returned to Thailand next day using safe entry service from this agent. 

4.5k suggests you are minimal issue. 

The fee is based upon history

Thank you, Rob. I'm probably going to fly this time as we have already booked the flight.

Thank you! That made me feel better about FTV. I was afraid that they might be a scammer.
