Hello! Ive entered thailand by land/sea twice in the past year, i know that you cant enter via L/S more than that (visa exempt). However, if you obtain a proper visa, like a buisness visa, or maybe education, is it possible to cross by land/sea? Im going to Singapore and Malaysia for a few months, and it may be convenient to travel via land into Thailand. Many Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquired about re-entering Thailand by land or sea after already using their visa-exempt entries. According to comments, the limitation of two land/sea entries per calendar year applies only to visa-exempt entries. If the user obtains a proper visa, like a business or education visa, there are no restrictions on re-entering Thailand via land or sea.

The 2 land entries are for visa exempt entries only. If you have a visa there's no restrictions.

It's 2 per calendar year. So the last year doesn't matter, only 2023 matters.

And the limitation is ONLY for visa exempt entries without a visa. There's no restrictions if you have a visa.
