ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi, I have a question about the visa exemption. I have a UK passport. I'm planning to travel to Bangkok and I expect I'll receive a 60 day visa exemption stamp on entry. I'll only be staying in Thailand for 1 or 2 days, then I'll go to Indonesia for 2 weeks. After that I'll return to Bangkok to stay longer. Can I expect to receive another 60 day visa exemption stamp when I come back from Indonesia? Thank you for your help.

TLDR : Answer Summary

A UK passport holder can expect to receive a new 60-day visa exemption stamp upon returning to Thailand after traveling to Indonesia, provided they meet the visa exemption criteria. While there is generally no set limit on the number of times one can enter Thailand under the visa exemption scheme by air, it is important to be aware of cumulative stay limits and other restrictions for land or sea entries.

For British citizens traveling to Thailand, the number of times you can enter depends on the type of entry you use:

Visa Exemption Scheme (for tourism):

British passport holders can enter Thailand for up to 60 days without a visa for tourism purposes. This can be extended for another 30 days at an immigration office in Thailand.

There is no set limit on the number of times you can enter by air under this scheme. However, there is a cumulative stay limit of 90 days within any 6-month period from the date of your first entry.

If you enter Thailand by land or sea borders, you are generally limited to two entries per calendar year under the visa exemption scheme. After the second entry by land, you must enter by air to continue using the exemption.

Tourist Visa:

Single-Entry Tourist Visa: This allows a single entry into Thailand for a stay of up to 60 days. Once you leave, the visa expires.

Multiple-Entry Tourist Visa (METV): This visa is valid for six months from the date of issue. It allows for unlimited entries into Thailand within that 6-month period, with each stay capped at 60 days. You can also apply to extend each stay for an additional 30 days at an immigration office.

Other Visas:

For other purposes like work, study, or retirement, you will need a specific visa that allows for multiple entries or a longer stay. For example, a Multiple-Entry Business Visa or a Long-Term Resident (LTR) Visa.

Important Note: The information above is for general guidance. Visa rules and regulations can change, so it's always best to check the latest requirements with the official Royal Thai Embassy or Consulate in your country before you travel.
