watgate Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 IF I come to Thailand (Chiang Mai) with a double or triple-entry tourist visa, when the time comes to activate a second re-entry into Thailand, can I just do a quick turn around,say for instance in Mae Sai, or do I need to actually visit another country for a few days and then re-enter Thailand? This is my 5th time to Thailand and I am what is known as a snowbird since I typically have been coming to Thailand for anywhere from 2- 4 months in the winter. This year I am planning on staying for 5 months and have a return ticket, a reservation at the same hotel I have been staying at for the previous 4 years, and will be bringing sufficient money. I realize this issue is kind of sketchy at the moment but I value the wise and informed opinions from the seasoned and knowledgeable posters and mods such as ubonjoe and tywais,etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 You fit the mold of a tourist so you should have no problem using the 2nd entry of your tourist visa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick01827 Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I do a similar sort of thing to you, 6 months in uk and 6 months in thai, I think we're all a little bit on tender hooks just in case we get refused re-entry, from what I've read I personally think the only people being targeted are the ones that are in Thailand for a long time on a reoccurring 30 day visa instead of a more appropriate visa to their situation, hope this help, if I hear anything i'll post it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
