How many times can a US citizen get the 30-day visa exemption and do they need to leave Thailand?
US citizen already have 30days exempt visa at immigration office once. how many times can I get 1,900 Baht exempt ? Do I need to went out side of country ?
Answer summary
A US citizen can initially enter Thailand with a 30-day visa exemption. After utilizing this exemption, they can apply for a single 30-day extension by paying the 1,900 Baht fee at the immigration office. However, after this extension, they must leave the country to obtain another 30-day visa exemption. It is important to note that a border run can be performed to get a new stamp, but this can only be done twice a calendar year.

After the first 30 days extension you can have another 7 days, always paying 1900, but then you must leave

And on top of it I would never pay 1900 for 7 days only

yesRobert *******
Actually that is not an Extension. Your application is not approved and you get 7 days to leave the country.

You can do a border run, stamp out, stamp in/out other country than back into Thailand to get a new 30 day Visa Exempt entry, bu be aware you can only do this twice a calendar year, or visit a neighbor country to get a Visa at Thai Consulate or Embassy.

Stuart ***********
yes il probably have to thanks
Robert *******
Than your only option is to fly out and back in or buy a visa.
Stuart ***********
yes and then i will be on my 3rd exempt entry
Robert *******
We say so many times, always check your stamps on retrieving your passport. You got an Extension of Stay at Udon Immigration, so now you have to leave the country and come back with or a Visa Exempt Entry or with a Visa.

thats was the last entry i got it was stamped on a departure card? thought odd not on passport..i applied for new stamp in Ubon fine no word said, i was just going to do again u till i get something said
Robert *******
Btw you do not extend, every border run you apply for a NEW Visa Exempt Entry stamp.
Robert *******
If you already have 2 Visa Exempt Entries from a land border in the calendar year they normally don't stamp you out, and advice you to organize or a flight out the country or a visit to Consulate/Embassy.
Stuart ***********
when do they refuse you? at a busy border or when you try to extend for the 3rd or 4th time
Robert *******
I understand you came into Thailand and got the 30 day Visa Exempt Entry, than applied for the 30 day Extension of Stay at Immigration office. You can only Extend an entry once.
