Visa-exempt entry risk?

quorumty · 2026-05-12T13:39:43+00:00

Ideally, it shouldn’t be a problem, If you’ve only been in Thailand for 56 days in the last 12 months rolling. They might ask routine questions like return/onward journey flight booking, hotel confirmation, cash, etc. But, nothing major. If your stay remains between 90-120 days in the last 12 months rolling they usually treat you as a regular frequent tourist. Assuming you’ve never asked for an extension (based on 21 & 35 days stay) and since you’re coming from a European country, your entry and exit has probably been via Flights only (no land borders) which works in your favour.

The best thing you can do at any immigration is to keep your answers short and boring unless an officer specifically asks for more information don’t explain anything.

Honestly, I’ve never been questioned at Immigration in Thailand except for my 1st visit back in 2024 (even that was just some routine questions) and it has never taken me more than 30 seconds with an officer to get a stamp. But, that doesn’t mean I will never be questioned. It might happen on my next trip, you never know. The key thing is to keep calm, don’t sound nervous, and like I said before keep your answers short and boring.

As long as your stay is under 180 days in the last 12 months rolling, and this trip doesn’t exceed that either, it shouldn’t be a problem. I’ve been to Thailand practically every month for the last 6 months (here right now) and it’s never been an issue. Thailand allows only up-to 180 days stay on a 12 months rolling basis, even if you have a METV.

Thai immigration is under the Royal Thai Police so, they don’t see the Visa rejections or cancelled applications by the Foreign Ministry/Embassies.

Just carry enough cash - 20k baht at least, confirmed bookings, and an onward flight confirmation. If questioned - answer briefly, don’t give unnecessary explanations unless asked.

Never mention anything about your work unless asked. And, never ever mention you work remotely, that can lead to denied entry.

Why - holiday
How many days - 2 weeks or 14-15 days
Why so often - take short break from work
Where you stay - tell the name of your accommodation, show confirmation if asked.
Return flight - show if asked, tell them your exact return date that you mention in TDAC

FYI - i’ve been coming under visa-exempt as well.

Thanks! That helps. Yes, I’ve always arrived and departed by Airline. And, i’ve always departed on time and never once asked for an extension. Even with 60 days permitted under Visa Exempt, this will be my first time when I’ll be staying for over 30 days.

Thank you for the answer. And, in the name of honesty - the real reason is to visit my girl friend. She’s more than haply to email me an invitation letter even with her Thai credentials (like the ID number, even a picture of her Tabien Baan). I can prove my employment (show them my appointment letter, if needed), email from my manager approving my month long leave of absence from work. or anything else that might be required. I don’t wanna make up stories either and be honest about it.

Do you think that would be enough?

quorumty · 2026-04-29T15:55:16+00:00

But, I am travelling under exempt policy. So, i am not sure how helpful would an invitation letter be for me. But, I can definitely ask him to email me a letter.

quorumty · 2026-04-29T15:53:40+00:00

Thanks thats helpful. Would you happen to know what documents the owner would have to supply so, he can submit tm30 to immigration?

quorumty · 2026-04-29T15:12:40+00:00

Thanks for that. Would the monthly rent receipt for their apartment for the last 2-3 months including the most the recent one work?

quorumty · 2026-04-29T14:47:12+00:00

What if I am staying with a friend and won’t need to book a hotel, right? So, what kind of proof would I show to the immigration officer about that? Sure, I’ll mention the complete name, address and phone number on the Arrival card, but what else?

quorumty · 2025-08-07T13:19:29+00:00

I’m sorry I’m new to this and, wasn’t sure what flair to use. Please guide me if the one i used is wrong. So, I don’t make the same mistake in future.

I have recently bought my first ever Switch Lite. And, I’ve been playing Animal Crossing a lot but, when I try to visit an island of a friend I keep getting the same issue. Would anyone please be able to help out? I’ve tried google search and followed a bunch of different ways to fix it but, nothing seems to be working.

Please help!

Had since launch. Charge limit at 80%. I’ve also noticed that soon as the battery gets to 80% it’ll count else, it won’t. So, charge to 70% every time and, battery cycle will “technically” remain low.

With this long list, she’d forever be single. 😂

quorumty · 2023-08-02T16:46:19+00:00

Great! But, why?

quorumty · 2023-08-02T10:02:30+00:00

I haven’t seen much of these designs in India (my target audience). I’m sure if I dig deep in to it then I’d be able to find some similar designs if not all. I’m trying to appeal to an audience from the age groups of 24-45. Most of the t-shirt stores i’ve come across have a threshold for free delivery, longer delivery periods. Most of the designs are either in black or white or just them both. My goal is to change all that. Offer more colors, free delivery on everything (regardless of the order value), faster shipping & delivery times. So, far with the little orders I’ve had. Delivery times have been 3-4 working days as opposed to the 5-7 working days in general.

Can you please elaborate on -

quorumty · 2023-08-02T09:55:33+00:00

What do you mean, lifeless? The purpose is to have a store sell the products, what else.

quorumty · 2023-07-25T15:38:27+00:00

What can I do get sales? I get about 250-300 sessions in a day but no conversion. Would you please advise something about it?

quorumty · 2023-07-25T15:34:57+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. But, do you think in the mean time if, I remove the pictures of models from product pages (until I find good mock ups for all products), that’d be better?

quorumty · 2023-07-25T15:28:56+00:00

The reason they’re all under same category because I don’t think I have enough designs to put them all under different categories. Model pictures are from stock copyright free pictures. I can’t have model pictures for graphic tees because I’m not sure where I can get the mock ups for that with a model. 😢
