thairookie Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I had 3 back to back visa exemption stamps, each lasting 15 days, during a stretch of period from December 2013 to February 2014. Just last week I returned to Bangkok after an almost 8 month stay outside Thailand. I was only asked if I had a tourist visa for this particular trip, and I said 'no' because I was only going to be in Thailand for only 10 days. The IO smiled. It seems that everything is back to normal. They are not looking at past records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 You were gone for 8 months. Hardly means that all is back to "normal". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrules Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 You're clearly not living here long term. If you stay for 30 days, extend for another 30 days and then continue repeat this cycle a few times I suspect you might find some issues a few months down the road. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saakura Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Sure they will wai and welcome you with a smile. Stay for 45 days and return after 8 months. This is the kind of long stay tourists they are looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thai20144 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) Any shortage of English Teachers since the crackdown on Visa runners? I believe Thailand has not benefited at all from this crackdown and probably Thailand is losing a lot economically.

He works online for his own Singaporean company. He went to S'pore to get some documents to enable him to marry his Thai girlfriend. He got rejected and had to fly back to S'pore, yesterday he went to Thai embassy to apply for Tourist Visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each time they didn't ask me anything. Did you get in based on Visa Exempt or a valid Tourist Visa? And what was the time in between your entries. The IO at Don Muang n Suvanabhumi are still very strict. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
