TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is inquiring about the possibility of obtaining another 30-day extension on their stay in Thailand after already having entered the country on a 60-day visa waiver and completing border runs. Responses indicate that it is feasible to apply for a 30-day extension, but caution is advised against attempting multiple consecutive entries on a visa exemption, as this may result in entry denial. Suggestions include using a border bounce service and ensuring all documentation is in order, such as the TM.30 form and supporting documents.

I received three consecutive 60 days visa exemption stamps in 2024. Begining of July,end of August,end of October,and end of December. The first being in Jomtien immigration,and the last three on border runs to Cambodia. I departed Thailand on the 11th February this year.

get another 30 days extension. Use a border bounce company if you can for a 3rd VISA EXEMPT. Definitely don't go though an airport as immi have been red hot stopping people like you. Time to consider a Non O.

Oh I can recommend a company from Bangkok

Yes. But do not push your luck by trying to enter on another 60 day visa exempt. You would likely be denied entry.

You can apply for a 30 days extension on your last entry and 60 days visa exemption.

Bring a receipt of your updated TM.30, copies of ID-page and last stamp in your passport, a pass photo and 1900 baht in cash. You apply on a TM.7 form at the immigration.

If you’re worried about your TM.30 address registration and your border bounce, just get it updated before you apply.

Yes, just get your TM.30 updated through your hotel and landlord and visit your immigration. Most immigrations accept extension 30 days prior to expiration date, Jomtien and Samui within the last week.

You can only get one 30 day extension per Tourism entry stamp

so since I left the country 45 days ago and came back in do you think I can get another 30 days in 15 days

@Max ******
That is entirely at the discretion of the Immigration Officer (you get 60 days entry on Visa Exempt not 30)

@Max ******
Yes, just get it updated before you apply. You can move and travel as you wish, always the "last shot" that counts.
