Thai wife extention? Isn't that called a ladyboy? 🤣

I got in on Oktober 23, staying for 58 days (back in the Netherlands now).

I was going to stay at my girlfriends place, and travel a bit together.

At the airport no questions were ask. Just a check of my passport (not even the boardingpass). So no inquieries about where I was going to stay (I had her address prepared on print in three languages). No proof of flight back or even when. I just got a stamp... mind you, this was my third entry this year. First in January with a visa (it was longer than 30 days). Then, after a month in Australia, I came back for 12 days (the love is strong 😊), 30 day visa exempt. And, this time 60 days exempt. Easy peasy...

This Thursday I flew back home. I checked through customs with passport (self)scan and facial recognition. No questions ask, no proof of where I had been (TM30, which we did not enter. But that could have been a problem if I had decided tot extend 30 days at immigration. It was tempting, but I didn't want any hassle and maybe have to convince an officer that I am really a tourist visiting his girlfriend, and maybe get rejected because of playing with the exempt system. And you only prolong the hurt of leaving for 30 days).

I entered Oktober 23, visa exempt, from the Netherlands. No questions asked (not even where I was going to stay, or how long). I was in line for about 30 minutes (it was busy). The digitale systems speeds up things.

Never use an agency. It's a waist of money. Entering Thailand is childsplay. Just choose the right system/visa up front.

What is an égaye?

Only the first page is the passport info. The rest of the pages are for visa.... (or exempt stamps). Any stamps regarding entry and exit...

It even says it in big letters :-)

@Jason ******

yes, the pages in a passport are the visa pages... you get a visa stamp, sticker of visa exempt stamp. All related to visa...

@Jason ******

they still look at your travel past in your passport...

I arrived from the Netherlands Oktober 23 (Dutch and Australian nationality). Leaving this Thursday, 58 days, so visa-exempt.

At the airport at passport check, they didn't even ask when I was planning to leave... no copy of my return ticket. Not even where I was going to stay... Just visa pages check, facial recognition and digital fingerprints.

I was here also in January/February 30 days, and in March again 12 days... (Australia in between).

Why not just go to an immigration office near Phuket? Don't forget a copy of the TM30.

But, of course, a border bounce gives you the opportunity to see a different country.
