Hi: 

Hoping for some help, we are Canadian and would like to enter Thailand on visa exempt for 30 days in April, can we come back in June for another 30 days visa exempt and get a extension for 30 days?

How many times a year can a person enter Thailand for 30 days on visa exempt?

Answer summary

Canadians can enter Thailand visa exempt for 30 days, and they can do so multiple times by air as long as immigration permits. However, there is a limit of two entries per year when entering through a land border. If planning to return in June, it is possible to extend the 30-day stay by applying for a 30-day extension or consider applying for a 60-day tourist visa to avoid complications.

by air as many times as Immigration allows you to enter without refusing you.

Get a 60 days touristvisa to go june.

Go to

***************************

and apply for a 60 day touristvisa

It is cheaper than 30 day visaexcempt + 30 day extension,

You don’t need a onward ticket in the 30 day visa excempt period

Then you don’t have to use holiday time to travel to a immigration office, waitingtime, but can apply from the comfort of your home.

The ONLY written rule regarding visa exempt is that you can only enter Thailand at a land border with visa exempt 2 times per calendar year.

There is no written limit for arrivals by air.

You can't use this method to stay long term, but based on your question, you should have no issue arriving in April, and then returning in June and getting an extension as well.
