How many border crossings can I do on a 2 month tourist visa in Thailand?

2 land border crossings in one calender year.

2

You get two border bounces and 6 via air , but that was pre covid19 so things undoubtedly will change , usual advice buddy , wait and see , always like doing border bounces ,

Flying I’ve done that for four years, now all this it’s time to retire and let my directors run the business

What is with all the confusing answers?

if you want to stay here 6 months then you get a 60 day tourist visa in your home country

then whilst in Thailand you extend it for 30 days for 1900baht after your 90days in you fly out and back in (on the same day if you like) giving you another 30 day’s

you then extend again for 1900 baht so now we are up to 5 months in Thailand

You then repeat flying out and back in = 6months

or 7months if you want to extend the second Visa on arrival

- it simply worked like this before covid. I live here on visa runs like many other people but because of that I will have to return to UK after the amnesty and figure out another way 🙁

I didn't even bother to read the all the replies but in scanning them you got some good and some crap answers.

IF you get a single entry tourist visa from a thai consulate in your country BEFORE you wing your way here you will get stamped in for 60 days AND you can extend that for 30 days at the immigration office ONCE for 1900baht.

Then you'd have to either go to a thai consulate in a nearby country and by a new tourist visa OR go to a border, stamp out of thailand, stamp in and out of another country and then stamp back in to thailand to get what's called a 30 day visa exempt entry. You could extend either the tourist visa entry OR that 30 day visa exempt entry by another 30 days at the immigration office for 1900baht.

You are allowed TWO 30 day visa exempt entries by land in a calendar year Jan 1 - Dec 31.

What kind of people live here for years on these visa runs? I thought visa runs were over long time ago, but they are still around. What are they doing here? Selling drugs?

You cant do any border crossings on a 60 day single entry tourist visa. That's because it is what it says - a *single entry. One in, none out until you leave.

If you leave before the 60 days, the visa immediately ceases. You can't just leave and come back a few days later because you've forfeited those other days.

Don't ask people here in thailand go to Thai embassy ask them good luck

2 land crossings in a calendar year. Theoretically unlimited air entries.

HOWEVER if it starts to look like you're not on the correct visa, or staying too long, you can unexpectedly get refused.

Be careful of too many tourists visa on your passport if your retirement age
