Hello everybody ☺️ i have a question and Google cannot help me anymore..  i m heading soon to thailand. How is it with leaving after 50 days (with 60 days visafree) and coming back after 2 months. Am i get that then New 60 days or do i need to apply a visa?  Do u have also experience with that ? Is it true that i could just stay 90 days in 6 months?  I m thankful for every advice 🙏❤️

Answer summary

A traveler can leave Thailand after their initial 60-day visa-exempt stay and return, receiving another 60-day entry upon re-entry. This can be repeated within the same year, with the possibility of extending their stay by up to 30 days at a local immigration office for a fee. There is no strict limit on the total number of days permitted for visa-exempt stays within a 6-month period.

Should NOT 🚫 be a problem for you to leave Thailand and reenter Thailand as Visa Exempt Entry a couple months later.

On arrival you should be STAMPED in for 60 days and that can be extended for 30 ADDED days at your local Thai Immigration office for 1900 Thai baht.

There's no limit on staying in Thailand that you mention in your Post.

they are wrong. They don't set the number of days you can be in Thailand. An often found error.

You would get another 60 days returning after 2mths. You can stay 90 days with visa exemption and repeat until immigration says otherwise.

No, I have never had a problem with that. You are fine staying 2 months then leaving for a few months then coming back. Repeating it many times will leave you open to being questioned.

You will be ok, the issue is with those who do it back to back with very little break in between.

my answer would be i am saving money to put 800 k in thai bank for retirement visa plus pay for medical procedures at bumrungrad hospital. i already spent about $8000 there last november. and i have been learning Thai on youtube so i will converse in thai with immigration. i hope to do the charm offensive. seems to work out for me.

@Kace ******

it's around the 3rd time you get spoken to. There is a multi entry visa which gives you 9mths of stay. So around 6mth mark you could be asked why you do not have a long term visa.
