Hello guys so i have a question regarding my stay in Thailand. I came to thailand on stv visa in july 2022 (90 day without possibility of extention) then I crossed the border by a car to get the 45 exemption + 30 days extension. After that i crossed again the border in the end of december to get again 45+30 extention. The extention will end in the middle of march.

So totally i got 2 times 45 days exemption + 30 days extention in 2022 year.

So my question is:

1) right now will i need to cross the border by a plane? i cannot find the information if i can cross the border by car twice a calendar year or just a year?

2) after i will enter thailand again (land or plane) will i be able to get the 45 days exemption + 30 days extention? I found the info that it will end in the end of march.

Thank you for all your help🙏🙏
Answer summary
The user is inquiring about the border crossing rules for extending their stay in Thailand under the STV visa. They've previously crossed the border twice in 2022 to receive extensions and want to know if they can cross by car multiple times within the same calendar year and still receive the 45 days exemption plus a 30-day extension upon re-entry. Community responses indicate that the rules reset annually, and as long as they enter before the end of March, they should qualify for the exemption.
