Can I leave and return to Thailand on a COVID exemption visa with a re-entry permit?

Whatever. You know best.

@Stuart ********

The guy who works at immigration knows best I think 🙂

There has never been any requirement to stay out of Thailand for x amount of time before returning (except being banned for overstay). The guy in immigration is talking out of his arse. But you can believe him if you like. Your call.

@Stuart ********

since they changed the covid extensions the other week, now anyone who has went from a non b to covid extension and wants to get another covid extension cant, they have to go back to the visa they entered thailand on, as no borders have been open since. so if you are one of these then they are watching for people who are going to say go to another country and go back on a tourist visa or visa on arrival , he said if its less than 30 days, then you will not be granted entry, this was the conversation me and one other had with 2 immigration officers over a 30 min period, this is my experience yesterday, is this group not about shareing experiences or is it for the admin to question everyone and using things like talking out of his ass when someone shares their experience? if this saves some people problems in the future then im happy I shared my experience , have a great day

ok. Let’s wait and see if there’s any posts from people denied entry for being out of Thailand less than 30 days. Don’t hold your breath.

a Tourist Exemption (30 free day stamp on arrival) is not called a visa. You say Tourist Visa so now curious if this the same exit-re-entry rule.

Am trying to find out if there is a way around the 30 days out of Thailand for a tourist, before returning (not for me, just researching for others), hence my question for the Exemption

@Aron *********

you can go out a come back in less than 30days as long as it’s not a tourist visa

I know you can come back on a Non O , thats about it not sure about other visa's
