Question: my plan is to get 4 months tourist visa by going out by land 2 times and extend the 30 days "visa" 2 times= 120 days. My last entry stamp is from December 2017 60 days Tourist visa and extend for another 30 days this March. So I can still can do the 4 months thing, because its allowed 2 entries per land in one calendar year right? Or does the extend this March count as "entry"? thx in advance for answers

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is inquiring about the possibility of accumulating a total of 4 months in Thailand using a combination of tourist visa extensions and border runs. They mention having previously entered with a 60-day tourist visa that was extended by 30 days. Comments in response clarify that the user's plan appears to involve two land entries, each yielding a 30-day visa exemption which can then be extended for an additional 30 days each.

Umm, there is no such thing as a 4 month tourist visa

I think what you're planning to do is to a 30 day visa exempt entry by land, extend that for 30 days at the immigration office. Then do another 30 day visa exempt entry by land and extend that one by 30 days as well.

an extension of stay does not count as a visa exempt entry into thailand by land so you're fine.

yes exactly I mean this process. And my question is if this i possible as I extended my last 3 months visa this march. Last entry was in December 2017. Does the 30 days extension this March counts as "entry" or I can still entry 2 times this year by land?

yes I am searching the best solution. I think now the border thing is the best for me, if I still can do 2 border entries by land this year?
