ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi there, I have read it is possible to get two entries to Thailand per calendar year with a stamp on arrival. I am wondering is it possible to get the 30 day extension both for both entries or only one? Many thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary

According to the information provided, travelers can receive two visa exempt entries by land in Thailand per calendar year (January 1 to December 31) and there is no official limit for entries by air. A 30-day extension can be obtained for each entry, meaning that it is possible to get a 30-day extension for both entries.

If I get a tourist visa in Vientiane, can I entry by land unlimited times? Is the limit of two per calendar year only for visa exempt entry?

, you're correct, it's only if you enter the country by land WITHOUT a visa (visa exempt) that you can do it just two times a year.

Do I need a departing flight booked before I re-enter BKK airport when doing an air visa exempt extension?

Just to be clear when you re-enter Thailand you will not get an extension but a NEW visa exempt entry stamp.

Yes. When I returned to BKK I received another 45 days. Then I will go to IT Square at Laksi pay the $1900 and get another 30 days. Then back to Canada for the summer 😔
