Hi i am from the uk if i enter on a 60 day exempt can i go to the phillopines after 60 days for 2 weeks then return for another 60 days and get am extention for 40 days after that
Answer summary
Yes, as a UK citizen, you can enter Thailand on a 60-day visa-exempt stamp, visit the Philippines for two weeks, and return to Thailand for another 60 days. However, note that you can only obtain a 30-day extension on your stay after the re-entry, and not the 40 days you mentioned.

You will receive a 60 day visa exempt stamp each time you enter Thailand, but be aware the extension is only 30 days not 40 like you mentioned.

No, you cannot extend for 40 days. It's 30 days. The rest of the plan is sound.

@Tony ********
a new passport doesn't cut any ice, mate. 🙂 All your entry data of many years back is stored in the Immigration's central computer

Doesn’t matter, all immigration history can be seen by the Immigration officers on their computer, so you will not get a new start by changing passport.
Your Immigration history is also linked to you by facerecognition and fingerprints.

True, I walked up to the baggage off-on claim at Haneda airport Japan that was temporarily set up in an empty hanger and the immigration guy greeted me with a "good afternoon, Mr. Connolly". He told me they have face recognition cameras all the way from the main terminal.

@Tony ********
you know they can see your travel history when they scan your passport and take your fingerprints.Nongnuch ********
yes you definitely can, if your passport does not show any excessive visa-exempt stamp history during the recent year. With ONE downside - the extension of a 60 days visa exempt stay permit is for 30 days, not for 40
Will *********
yes - except extensions are 30 days - but exit any time and get 60 days on re-entry.

You will receive a 60 day stamp each time you enter Thailand. There is no 40 day extension available, you can only get one 30 day extension on each entry.
