Can my friend Matthew enter Thailand under the visa exemption scheme given his recent travel history?

Hi everyone,

I would like to ask for some advice about entering Thailand under the visa exemption scheme for my friend, Matthew.

Matthew has travelled to Thailand several times:

* End of December 2025 to January 2026 – stayed for 4 weeks.

* End of March to end of April 2026 – stayed for less than 4 weeks.

* September 2026 – stayed for 2 weeks.

* Planning to travel again from December 2026 to January 2027 – staying for 4 weeks.

All his previous visits were short holidays.

With the recent changes to Thailand's immigration rules, would he still be OK to enter Thailand under the visa exemption scheme for his next trip in this December?

Has anyone had experience with a similar travel history, or received any recent advice from Thai Immigration?

Thank you in advance for your help.
