Can you enter Thailand multiple times on a visa exemption without issues in 2025?

this is normal tourist activity. You wont have any issues at all. From what I gather its people coming on visa exemptions and then extending. The first extention is 30 days and the 2nd just 7 days now making it 157 days. If you have no history of extensions and you have returned to your home country then 100% you will be given entry ! This is exactly what the visa exemption is for and Thailand wants you to spend your money in the country as a tourist.The problems arrive when people are trying to use the Visa Exemption as a means to live in the country, in which case a different 'paid' visa is required.

everyone Go alone through the Immigration lane....except babies

UnkemptClam444 so how many days s has he been in Thailand - probably more than a 180

Which may be true, but the troubling thing about I.O.'s in Thailand and/or different Immigration Offices seem to like to have their OWN set of rules. Which of course, can cause problems. On Visa Exemption only, I've read a max of 97 days: Initial 60 days + one 30 day extension+ a 2nd extension of only 7 more days(hardly seems worth the 7 days IMO). Of course, it depends what Country you're home Country is. As far as this being for a total of 12 month's time, I am unclear. I would think one could do the Visa Exemption w/extension(s) AND also do a Tourist Visa within that same 12 month period(as an example)? IF it is a MAX of 150 days for the 12 months, then using my example, it would appear that doing a multiple entry Tourist Visa would be pointless? Or am I missing something here? (I probably am..I'm definitely no expert on all of this). I think I may have raised MORE questions than actually providing a concrete answer! 😅

This makes sense. I've read that one extension on a 60 day visa exempt (90 day stay) isn't an issue but a second extension isn't guaranteed. My guess is it depends on how much time passes between those two stays.

@Dan ******

Yes. Never happened to me before neither. That's why I am going to apply for a proper tourist visa in the future too...

Thank you for the information. It’s been a bit of a headache this trip. I usually come for six months every year to escape the cold winters back home. Never had a problem before but now all of a sudden , everything’s changed.

I’m going to get a METV or a DTV next year per the suggestion of the immigration officer at BKK.

first flight back to Mumbai for you, Mr Peters!

I was denied a 3rd entry. I had to fly from Laos to Bangkok to get in. I did one extention on my last trip and returned to the US
