⚠️ ATTENTION ALL EXPATS! Immigration is NOT playing around anymore!
Guys, serious talk นะ... The days of border hopping every 30 days are OVER! 🚫
**What's Changed in 2026:**
🔴 **No More Visa Runs** - Immigration officers at land borders (Ranong, Nong Khai, Aranyaprathet) are NOW rejecting people doing frequent border bounces. My friend got denied entry after his 3rd run this year!
🔴 **90-Day Report Enforcement** - Miss your 90-day report? Expect 2,000 baht fine MINIMUM. They're checking hard now!
🔴 **Tourist Visa Abuse** - Stay on tourist visas for 6+ months? They're asking TOUGH questions: bank statements, return flights, hotel bookings, employment proof!
**Real Stories from Friends:**
- Sarah (UK) - Denied re-entry at Mae Sai after 5 border runs in 8 months
- Mike (USA) - Questioned for 2 hours at Suvarnabhumi, had to show 20,000 baht cash + hotel booking
- Carlos (Spain) - Flagged in system, told "apply for proper visa or don't come back"
**What You SHOULD Do:**
✅ Get a proper long-term visa (ED, LTR, DTV, Marriage)
✅ Keep financial proof (20k THB or equivalent)
✅ Have onward travel booked
✅ Don't overstay even 1 day!
✅ File TM30 within 24 hours of arrival
The "Wild West" days are DONE. Thailand wants quality tourists and proper residents, not border hoppers!
