ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi.

I'm currently in CM on an SETV (from end of Sep). I plan to extend until mid December. 

My question is about visa exempt on land borders. I have 1 visa exempt early in the year before I went back home in May.. in 2020 will this reset so I could potentially be allowed 2 visa exempts (+ extensions for a possible 4 months)?

I'll be going back to UK next summer (Vietnam after TH), but hoping I can stay in Thailand until at least Feb.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is currently in Chiang Mai on a Single Entry Tourist Visa (SETV) and plans to extend it until mid-December. They are inquiring whether they can utilize the two allowed visa exempt entries by land border in the next calendar year of 2020, considering they had one entry earlier in the current year. According to a comment, as long as it resets with the new calendar year, they would be eligible for two additional 30-day visa exempt entries starting January 1, 2020.

You get TWO 30 day visa exempt entries by a land border in a calendar year (Jan 1 until Dec 31). That's how it works

SO come Jan 1 2020 you will be allowed TWO 30 day visa exempt entries by land..
