Are there any exceptions to the 180-day stay limit for tourists in Thailand?

I have not stepped out of Thailand since July 1995.

I entered thailand on November 24 Th 2022 and left on July 4th 2023,. 222 days all in,. Arrived with a 60 day tr visa and border bounced twice and extended 3 times,. This was when the 45 day visa exemption rule was in,.Not been back since but will be returning soon to take advantage of the new 60 day rule to give me 90 days to sort my retirement o visa out, hopefully with no issues,.

You may stay as long as you wish if you have the right visa!

First off, there's no rule that limits your stay to 180 days per year.

Second, your point is still valid. Entries and extensions could get more difficult once you go beyond 180 days. However, if you're still more than a few days below you're usually okay. Problems could start when your surpass the aforementioned threshold and then try to enter again.

You are getting confused with the new rules for the tax residency ie if you have stayed in the country for 180 days you will be required to pay the government some taxes 😉 🙄 😀 🤣

As long as you are have more money and spend as long as you want to stay with your business or family members that is your choice 😜💞

Won’t be a problem but now you are a tax resident

Your question is simple and the answer is go to immigration with the correct paperwork and submit your request for a 30 day extension. There are no issues with this request Thai immigration don't care about these types of extensions

You wi usually be allowed one extension before alarm bells at immigrations start to ring. It is best to go before your current visa runs out and make the application. Whether you are rejected and asked to leave or not again depends on the officer and or your entry departure history. There is no such thing as legally in any country if you are using tourist visa to stay long term. There are proper long term visas for every situation and some do get away with extending and going in and out and so on. But being allowed to continue doing so whether it is by extending in country or going out and coming back is at the discretion of the officer you face. They can and do have the authority to question and then deny any further extensions or entry if they so deem.

Show me any law that states there is a maximum stay of 180 days per calendar year for a tourist.

There is no such rule limiting you to 180 days per year.

Don't confuse this with the issue of becoming a tax resident. Tax resident status is assumed and automatic once you have been here 180 days in any calendar year. You can get visa-free or tourist visas several times to stay longer than that legally

It is highly unlikely that a 30 day extension based on a tourist visa will be rejected (even if you have been here longer than 180 days).

Rejections usually happen at the point of entry.

There is no limit of 180 days.

If you stay more than 180 you risk being considered a tax resident.

As far as entries you can enter and stay as long as you are allowed, until an IO officer stops you.
