Can I enter Thailand again in March 2026 after three visits since May 2025?

I have went to Thailand 5 times this year. No problem

And ?

Correct! Or infact the 1st January 2026!

I have travelled a few times to Thailand 3-4 trips in one year (in total 26 trips 2012-2025). Never got problem with entries. As tourist.

The following is in relation to visa exempt entry. ( 60 days).

Every entry is the discretion of the immigration officer you stand in front of. There is no set limit to air entries or limit to number of days you can stay per year. The authorities are concerned with people using border runs and extensions rather than getting the correct visa. If you have visited two or three times returned to your home country or some other country in between for a significant period before returning to Thailand you should not have a problem. If you have used a 30 day extension on your previous visits then you may have an issue. ( only allowed 2 extensions now per year 30 days first visit then 7 days next visit) People will say you will never be asked for the three proofs but I always have them with me. The three proofs are 1. 20,000 Thai baht or equivalent in another currency in cash ( bank statements proof on an ap etc will not do , cash only)

2. Proof of address in Thailand

3. Return ticket out of Thailand within 60 days of entry.

If the IO is looking to refuse you entry he may use you not having one of those as an excuse.

People will disagree with my above post and some will likely get personal and abuse. The above is based on my actual experience for the last 4 years. I have only just got a multi entry OA non immigration visa. Up to that I traveled to Thailand every two months for a two month stay only ever been asked for proof of address and return ticket, never been asked to show the cash. Only reason I switched to the visa was so I could open a Thai bank account. Hope this post helps.

Can I ask, if the extension starts now and goes over into 2026, does this count against you

1jan they reset everything. So you can go again 2 times with visa on arrival. After those 2 times. You gonna need a Tourist Visa

No

No problem. I’ve entered 6 times

It's soooo idiotic to react with the laughing emoji when someone posts a question.

another great question

what make you stop?

???

It looks good if you are going in and out of the country like a tourist.

Not just trying to extend visit.

Yes

It's as if they no longer teach counting in schools! I guess by the post, punctuation and grammar is barely scraping by also.

From how I understand it from January 1, 2026 everything is reset and there’s two Visa exempt arrivals allowed per person per year. Obviously, I stand to be corrected.

Thai Visa Centre.

They say it resets every calendar year now

Love the way people check fb instead of the official site and then argue about the opinions posted.

So many opinions and interpretations. Almost is, nothing has changed at all about the normal tourist entry. The new rules relate exclusively to the method Forbidden to prolong the stay in Thailand by boarder runs infinitely. This is a measure against, crime, human trafficking, unauthorized work and such things. she often mentioned As a rule, it refers to the legal main residence in Thailand after more than 180 days and an obligation to become taxable in Thailand. But That too has existed for a long time. It is certain that if you enter the visa-free several times (always with 60 days) you can ask about the reasons. but with a valid Return flight ticket ( always in your home country ) of a hotel booking, the proof of cash and all other requirements, nothing can normally happen. I'm not sure about the reset every year. The history of your stays is always listed, it is up to the immigration Officer how to deal with it.

Vip line....4000 bath....

*** There is no "reset".

*** There is no mention of "calendar year".

*** There is no two-times limit on visa-exempt entries within a one-year period.

*** nothing "resets".

In case you have heard from out of the mouth of an Immigration officer such statements, this officer will soon learn that what he said isn’t true.

They seem to be unable to tell you in proper English the difference between a visa exemption and the extension of the visa-exempt stay permit.

There are only two extensions possible on visa-exempt entries, within a one-year period.

The first extension will be issued for 30 days, the extension for a second visa-exempt entry will be issued for 7 days

You can theoretically do 4, 5 or even 6 visa exempt entries for short 2-3 weeks holidays, within a one-year period, if you never maximize each stay.

Of course, upon each entry, you should be able to proof your onward travel, a few nights of booked accomodation and proof of cash equivalent of 20,000 THB

Resets every January so ok

Yes.. year reset from 31 December

More important than number of times you have visited Thailand is the amount of time each visit and time between visits.

Your history in Thailand

150 days of VE/TR, longer than that get a long term visa

Apply a tourist visa for 90 days 🤷‍♂️

yes

Yeah, after January 1st it starts over.. 2 visa exempt entries per year

It's really up to im officer i was stopped and let in

How many days have you spent in Thailand thats what they are looking at and back to back entries. NOT amount of entries
