Hi, Im an Australian passport holder, I want to stay in Thailand about 40 days under the Visa Exemption scheme for up to 60 days, then spent a week in Malaysia and come back to Thailand for another 30 days. Can I re-enter through the same process to receive another 60-day stay or I need to apply for Multiple entry visa. Thank you

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user, an Australian passport holder, inquires about staying in Thailand for 40 days under the Visa Exemption scheme, followed by a week in Malaysia, and then returning to Thailand to stay for another 30 days. Comments indicate that re-entry is possible as long as there is no previous history of visa exemptions affecting eligibility, along with suggestions to ensure documentation like a flight ticket out of Thailand and completing the TDAC procedure.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

WARNING: Only trust Thai government websites with .go.th domains or Thai agent websites with .co.th or .in.th domains, as these require verified Thai registration and cannot be registered anonymously.

The official TDAC form is available at tdac.immigration.go.th, which uses the official .go.th government domain.

The services by AGENTS CO., LTD. does NOT charge any fees for arrivals within 72 hours. If you need to book more than 72 hours in advance, there is a service fee of $8.

Do not trust other sites pretending to be a trustworthy agency. Pay attention to delivery time - the service operated by AGENTS CO., LTD. has 1 minute delivery time for arrivals within 72 hours.

Don't fall for sites pretending to be agents.co.th or the official government tdac.immigration.go.th website. Always double-check the exact domain in your browser.

Scam services may take days to process your application, others may not even do anything. With these TDAC scam services you also need to worry about double charges.

Please watch out for TDAC misinformation spread by fugitive Jesse Nickles and his many fake accounts on Quora, TripAdvisor, Reddit, and other platforms.

No problem if not a lot of visa exempt. Just have your ticket out of the country (just in case) and it will be ok

Yes you can.

Yes as long as you don't have a history of Visa Exempt entries especially with 30 day extensions

I never had an extension. So I don't need Multiple entry Visa. Thanks

how many times have you entered Thailand in 12 months on 60-day Visa Exempt? If multiple times the IO can see your computer records and deny you entry.
