Hey everyone, I'm just en route to my second mae sai visa run, this is the second of the year on my 60 day tourist visa... Going by the twice per year rule as its now basically new year does that mean I can do it twice more starting from January? Or doesn't work like that? Thanks in advance

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is inquiring whether they can perform two additional visa runs starting January under the 'twice per year' rule, considering they are currently on a 60-day tourist visa. Responses clarify that the visa run rules reset each calendar year, allowing for two 30-day visa exempt entries by land, aside from their current 60-day tourist visa.

something doesn't sound correct here. If he has a 60-day tourist visa, he can extend it on any immigration office inside Thailand for another 30 days for 1900 Baht. If he leaves Thailand on a valid 60-day tourist visa without a single entry permit, his tourist visa will become invalid, however he will be allowed to re-enter by a 30 day visa exempt. If he still has a valid re-entry permit, he will be given 30 days on his current tourist visa. And it leaves him the option to do two 30 day exempt entries by a land border starting from January 1st

well seeing as he's en route to Mae Sai right now, it's not gonna make any difference if he got a 30 day extension on his tourist visa or not :/

You can get TWO 30 day visa exempt entries by land in a calendar year (Jan 1 - Dec 31) AND as

@Cam****

correctly pointed out the calendar resets on Jan 1 meaning you can get two more 30 day visa exempt entries by land next year.

Okay, I think you have your wires crossed some. Your current 60 day tourist visa doesn't have anything to do with whether you can go to Mae Sai or not. AND you're not getting a visa there at all.
