TLDR : Answer Summary
The poster is inquiring whether they can re-enter Thailand for 40 days in February 2026 after already spending a total of 100 days visiting in 2025, amidst new visa rules announced on November 14, 2025. Community responses indicate that while previous visits are a consideration, the Thai immigration policy is not strictly black and white. Users advise having necessary documentation ready such as a return ticket, hotel bookings, a minimum cash amount, and the potential need for a proper visa for future trips.

I just went through imagration I was in thailand from January till June 2025 went home

Returned nov 17 imagration lady sent me to the little man in charge

He then took me to the big boss he was a nice fella said something about Canada and stamped me through on the way out the little fella said to get a visa next to big problem without visa I thought no it won't be because im taking my money to Vietnam after I close my frozen Bangkok bank

I don't think you will have a problem but they may tell you to get a proper visa next trip

Your history is quite typical, you shouldn't have any problems but then again nobody knows, have the three proofs ready, an onward ticket, booked accommodation, 20k baht.

There is no limit to entry so if the visits are not consecutive and you have exit flight then you should be fine. In typical Thai fashion it’s not black and white.

You'll be OK. You get 60 days for one entry visa exempt
Andrew ********
Visa exempt is limited to 2 times per calalendar year so in 2026 the limit resets - latest information out that ive seen. You can always apply for a 90 day visa and come in

No it is not. You don’t know what you’re talking about.
Andrew ********
@Phyf ***
yes I do - aside from speculation i actually talk to a visa lawyer for planning things myself and what I speak of has been mentioned a few times and what they are trying to control - so if you are going to say im wrong please prove you are right

I agree

@Paula *******
ok - you asked a question here sub of my statement what would you know ?? You asked a question here that shows you dont have a clue at all - if you did you wouldnt have asked your question to start with -
Paula ********
@Andrew *******
are you able to share a link that shows this is true. I understood its visa extensions that are limited to 2 a year. I have a DTV but its relevant for family who visit me often

@Paula *******
Your family visiting you and returning home is fine. It is visits to nearby countries to remain staying in Thailand which is the focus.

@Paula *******
should be fine for them - these changes deals with people using the max time extend - leave a couple days come back - the passport book will reflect it. If you have family from your home country who only stay a few weeks at a time - they should be ok

@Paula *******
as with many immigration rules, they are guidelines and often only internal documents… the law that allows them to handle it like this is the „up to the officer“ paragraph

@Paula *******
likewise. Not seen anything that specifically denotes *calendar* year.

You will be ok,

It’s the border bouncing and people living here they are clamping down on.
Luit *****************
@Si ******
certainly not only border bouncing is stopped, quite a lot of stories of people arriving from abroad in BKK that were 60 days or more already in TH this year that got stopped.

Holiday for 100 days?
Andrew ***********
DTV_BegPecker why not. I been training. Partying in Koh sumai for 80 days during our winter .... What's the big deal.... Some people have money .....
אבי ******
DTV_BegPecker instead of being jealous you can figure out how to save money and do it yourself
DTV_Be*******
@אבי *****
I doubt he is vacationing here. There is a reason why the government is cracking down on long stayers
Luit *****************
@אבי *****
.Saving money for the correct visa might be expensive in the end
Remi *******
instead giving advice to people use your energy to try to save live of Palestinian children

@Remi ******
take care of your own children or tell your wife to use birth control while you go to thailand

I'm presuming that you are talking about Visa Free entry as DTV isn't mentioned.

Sometimes Calendar year gets followed and in other cases trailing 12 months so there is no clear line drawn basis which entry can be assured.

Ensure you have the following if you do decide to go:

1. Return ticket confirmed

2. Hotel booking/s for all the days

3. TDAC

4. 10-20K THB and other forex

Be ready with FAQs.
