Are land border bounces to Thailand now considered unlimited?

Technically yes, but in reality no! Expect after a few 2-3 borderuns per yeah to get denied more entries, or at least getting told apply for right visa, as you clearly with that many month in Thailand aren’t a regular tourist, which the Visa exempt are there for 😉

Clever people obtain a 10 years LTR visa very easily. Why all the hassle!

"I have by the current laws right to enter thailand as many times as I wish per a year if I can upkeep myself" - That should do it. - Dont worry the returns.. just prepare with a segement of the current laws in your phones to show to them.

In a new light.. It might be so that theyre actually obliged to allow you to enter as long as you can show them whatever they requests upon entry.. It might be just so scare you off and ultimately if you meet the requirements you can access as long as you like..

Stand up for your rights and state everytime the changes regulations.. You dont need to bow them and be meek. Just express your rights.

good luck

No, they are not! I was just refused to enter Thailand after 2 stamps. First stamp is 90 days and another one 60 days. But they might let you in if you show hotel bookings and baht. Sadao border to Malaysia.

I would not rely on that, it always up to the officer at the border.

If the IO believes you’re living in Thailand on tourist visa/exempt, it doesn’t matter if there’s no limit or there is, you’re going to get denied entry. So maybe just either have a visa for your purpose or don’t take the risk? Nobody here can tell you what you want to hear because it would be false.

I wish people would stop using the term "unlimited", it's misleading. The fact is you can now enter by land using visa exemption in exactly the same way as you can by air for the purposes of tourism. If the immigration officer determines you're not a tourist then they aren't going to let you in.

for visa excemption 60 days - yes

The person has picked phone up🙂

We will not know until someone and then some more do 3 entries by land.

Have the rules changed then?

I can confirm this as I just talked to the officers in the Chiang Rai Immigration Office at Central Plaza. In fact when I was translating for my friend he told me without being asked that border runs now are unlimited. You have the option of paying 1900 for extension or do a border run if you are near a border. No more twice a calendar year bs, all started from the 15th of July. And before a smartass comes in and tells me all this is valid until an officer at the border informs you that this will be the last time you come into the kingdom this way, yeah, even my 5 year old neighbour's daughter knows this. My advice is this, enjoy it while you can, because thailand is thailand.

it's too early to tell. The 60-days visa exempt was introduced and activated on July 15. Right now there is nobody who can confirm that he was allowed in on a second visa exempt, following a third visa exempt. If you ask me - no way Immigration will allow people to misuse the 60-days visa exempt for a longstay in Thailand. The word "unlimited" bears no guaranty

Try it and know it.

I went on my first one ever and bro tells me get a visa next time 🤣

Nobody knows for sure yet, have to wait and see, how Immigration will handle it, in the future.

@Richard *******

apparently why not let us know

I just submitted my application for a TV in Laos. The guy almost wouldn't take it. He kept on saying u get 60 days entry for usa. Things seem to be changing

The limit of 2 border entries using visa exempt entries no longer exists. The use of “unlimited” as a term is misleading in terms that there is no actual limit, but you won’t get away with “unlimited” entries. You will get away with as many as you can get away with until the immigration officer decides that you can’t anymore. Whether that is 2, 3 or 8 is up to them.

Probably "unlimited" in the same way that visa-exempt air entries already are "unlimited".

No legal limit, but after 4-8 months (give or take) on nothing but back-to-back border bounces, you have a *high* chance of being pulled out of line to the back office & questioned about what you're doing here.

I wouldn’t chance it, but let us know!

No just an extension on certain countries from 30 to 60 days, the rest is still set in stone

Two friends who both have two border bounced already have done a third

I'd explain it more as "not limited" at the moment.

How many air

Let us know for sure when you try. A few have succeeded now

Yes, you can come and go as you please.

Thats what i heard

be intrested to know to
