How many days can I spend in Thailand on a tourist visa in one calendar year?

Bottom line is while you may obtain a visa.... its no guarantee Thai immigration will allow you to reenter if you are using back to back visa exempt entries, tourist visas and extensions to live and work in Thailand.

Be prepared to explain why you stay so long in Thailand. (we know of at least three persons denied entry for those reasons in recent months in BKK)

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ENTER VISA EXEMPT...If you must try...

Get at least a Tourist Visa, and be prepared to show IF ASKED by THAI IMMIGRATION on arrival:

...You have a departing air ticket from Thailand.

...20,000 Thai baht in CASH or other equivalent currency.

...your Thailand Pass bookings for Test N Go, sandbox, or quarantine.

...your address following Test N Go, sandbox or quarantine.

Good Luck

You get 60 days on entry if you use the Tourist Visa, each entry can be extended once with another 30 days based on tourism.

For a tourist visa, a person is allowed to spend 60 days. Tourist visas can only be acquired outside of Thailand. ONE 30 day extension of stay based on tourism can be acquired on this visa, giving a total of 90 days.

A person can get "unlimited" tourist visas from the Thai consulate. The amount that can be granted depends on the consulate being used.

As many as you like
