ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello, I asked about land border crossings last November, and you all informed me that my wife would be able to make two land border crossings within one calendar year. My family all made a land border crossing to Laos in November 2023, and then my wife and children made a land border crossing to Cambodia last month (February 2024). I just want to check and confirm that she would not have a problem if she made just one more land border crossing to Cambodia again at the end of April this year?  After that, we will all fly back to America, and while there we will apply for our new Non B visas, so we shouldn't have any problems anymore.  Thank you for your thoughts.

Given the length of time they've been in Thailand on visa exempt entries I'd highly recommend using a border bounce agency rather than trying it themselves

The rule is clear. Visa-exempt entries through land border checkpoints are allowed two times per calendar year. They can enter Thailand on visa-exempt entry by land one more time this year.

What we can advise is to avoid border-bounce at the Aranyaprathet / Poipet border with those histories.

Formally it’s two border crossings by land in a calendar year. (Jan-dec).

No problem with her doing another Land BORDER BOUNCE...

As you can do a Maximum of 2 LAND BORDER BOUNCE ...VISA EXEMPT entries into Thailand EACH CALENDAR YEAR.

EACH CALENDAR YEAR is the key to your question.

Safe travels.
