Can I repeatedly enter Thailand for 60 days at a time as a tourist, and how often is it allowed?

banned and deported

Saw that

I done 54 days. Left for 12 days then came back and they questioned me. Asked to see tickets out the country. Asked where I was going and staying etc. I think the 3rd entry would be the problem.

It all depends on the IO you stand in front of , it's entirely their decision wether to allow you entry or not

If you get the 60 day visa exempt stamp and extend by a further 30 days at the Immigration office, Immigration class you as a tourist. If you then attempt to enter again on a visa exempt stamp, Immigration rightly consider that after on 90 day stay in the country that you are no longer a tourist but that you are attempting to live long term in the country. While there is no legal limit to the number of Visa exempt entries, once the Immigration officer believes that you are no longer visiting the country as a tourist he will deny you entry. 3. If you have already stayed for 90 days on a visa exempt entry, then in future to guarantee entry into Thailand, you need to obtain a long term visa suitable to the reason for your stay.

Until a Immigration officer denies you entry.

Make it easy because things have changed. So, we move things forward. Be proactive. To be able to show: cash money. 20k/30k THB cash.Those small amounts ease the few minutes you’re in front of the officer. Showing money makes you friends quickly. I wouldn’t stand in front of an officer with just my face and nothing else. Don’t let them think like a strict current officer. Also show: your accommodation reservation, your balance. In short, not just your hairstyle.

There are probably two or three visits a year, I think three is too many, so show your money.

They are getting.much stricter on people trying to stay long term on visitor status. More and more are getting denied entry

I was told by Immigration at Bangkok Airport there was a general limit of two visits in a given calendar year, I had to fly back to Australia and secure an O visa. which I did But I am not clear if this is discretionary or policy. I am trying to clarify this. It makes sense and I would not be surprised if they regulate this, . .

I wonder why they bother.

Should be a police clearance from your home country and world wide criminal check then come and stay as long as you want. After all we all pay our way , bring heaps of money in to the country and are no burden on thailand. Just saying.

You can keep doing it until the immigration officer says you cant and refuses entry as he suspects you are abusing the visa system 👍

I got tugged at Immigration last week, and I had only left Thailand once, previously!

I did it yesterday, stayed 60, left and went to Vietnam for a week, came back to Thai.

They did, however, ask me when I would be leaving Thailand.

I said I had a flight home in 20 days and she said hmm ok then and stamped me in for another 60 days on arrival.

They are definitely scrutinising multiple entries much more these days.

why don't you get DTV visa !! if you can't meet the requirements then buy 6 months multiple entries visa METV and get in and out for 6 months

How often is at the discretion of the Immigration officer you are dealing with on the day you enter.

If in thier opinion you are not a genuine tourist and using repeated visa exemption to live in Thailand then you can be refused entry..

Once should be OK.

After that its a gamble until they stop you.

There's no official limit. Purely at the discretion of the immigration officer when you enter. Expect to be denied on your third attempt. As soon as they work out you're abusing the visa exempt concession, you're done, with a black mark on your immigration record. There's a reason Thailand has a variety of visas allowing longer stays

There is no rule about it. You can do it until you can't. But since they changed visa exempt from 30 days to 60 days, they are much more strict. Many people getting pulled out of line at the airport and questioned by immigration after only leaving and returning once. Many people being denied entry as well after immigration believes they've spent too long in Thailand and are abusing free tourist entries.

You CANNOT stay long term or live in Thailand without an appropriate long term visa. Eventually you'll be denied entry and find yourself in a bad situation.
