German national - If I get a 30 day tourist entry with a potential 30 day extension, can I leave the country (by air) and return to get the same 30 day with a potential 30 day extension? Or does this ~60 day is the total for 360 days? Like a maximum stay of 60 days for a year?
Thanks in advance.
TLDR : Answer Summary
A German national can initially enter Thailand with a 30-day tourist visa, which can potentially be extended for another 30 days at a local immigration office. If they leave the country, it is possible to re-enter and obtain another 30-day visa exempt entry, provided they do not have a recent history of prolonged stays in Thailand. However, if the intention is to stay for a longer period, considering a METV (Multiple Entry Tourist Visa) before flying to Thailand is advisable, as it offers numerous entries and up to 9 months of stay with border crossings.
