If I have already entered Thailand on an exempt visa 3 times in the allowed 6 months, is there a way I can enter within those 6 months again?

Answer summary

A user inquired about the possibility of re-entering Thailand using an exempt visa after having done so three times within the previous six months. Comments clarified that while it is not outright restricted, frequent entries may raise questions from immigration officers regarding the purpose of such visits. It was suggested to consider obtaining a more suitable visa for longer stays.

it starts to get scetchy if you have many back to back visa exemption entrys. How many? As Robert Lagas said it up to the discretion of the immigration officer at the entry point. Better get yourself the appropriate visa for a longer stay.

Yes, as there is NO restriction in the way to enter Thailand with or without a visa.

Only by land there is the restriction of using 2 Visa Exempt Entries a calendar year.

You might be asked about your purpose of being in Thailand so many times without a proper visa, but that is part of the job from Immigration Officers at check points.

I have checked online and I says your only allowed to enter 3 times in a 6 month period. Has this been removed?

no such rule. only need to remember as what

already said, the more you enter on a visa exempt, the more the risk of Immigration questioning you and potentially refusing you entry.

Never been an issue for the Royal Thai Immigration Bureau.

But I know, you can find lots of information on line, but most of it seems to be incorrect or given by people who are not informed by the Immigration of Thailand.
