Hello everyone, I have a quick question. I know (not 100% sure) that people who arrive by land with a visa exemption can only do it 2 times a year. However, are people with multiple entry tourist visa (METV) able to go in and out by land more than 2 times?

Answer summary

Travelers with a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (METV) can enter Thailand by land more than twice a year, as the limit of two entries only applies to those entering on a visa exemption. Actual entries on a valid visa do not count towards this limit.

Yes. The written rule of two times per calendar year is about only visa-exempt entry. You can enter more than two times If you have a valid visa, as entry on an actual visa is not counted in those.

Just to be clear.

Border bounce is not limited to Twice per calendar year. What is limited to Two Times is Visa-Exempt entry by land.

Am I correct in assuming you can also fly in and out on METV greater than two times?
