How many times can I enter Thailand on a visa exemption?

I think the Visas for Thailand are a minefield.

Multiple means multiple. There is no number attached to it. It's deliberately ambiguous. Whether you are denied entry is down to the immigration officer on duty, but your chances of being denied entry are obviously increased if you don't have the correct visa. Having said that, I doubt you would be denied entry as long as everything else is above board. But following anyones advice off Facebook is not always the best. The Thai E Visa website "should" help you get the correct information and visa.

James that is brilliant! And oh so true! 😂 But I honestly feel they'll lose potential tourists to nearby countries,that allow easier entry! Cambodia,Lao,and the Philippines! Plus all aforementioned are cheaper!

As properly diagnosed earlier, Thailand will be able to send a mission to the Mars before it is able to hammer out a clear visa scheme.

its fine, as long as you can prove your stay, funds and outbound ticket, having gaps in going to thailand is fine, its more so if those gaps are 2days in vietnam every couple months is what will raise suspicion.

Surely this has now changed and UK/Irish citizens can now only enter Thailand for 30 days without a visa?

On Monday I witnessed at suvarnabhumi airport people being denied entry, reasons given were that with a visa exemption you are allowed to stay 90 days within 6 months, plus you need three things to show: 10k baht, proof of accommodation for entire stay, and return ticket booked. This is what they told every person waiting with me, British, American, Russians, Chinese, they were sending back loads of people and it was just a couple days ago

Why are they making it so grey and stupid. Why don’t they just change it so its a total of 60 days per year on a tourist visa you can stay here.

I go every 9-10 weeks and stay 3 weeks through out the year and stay 6 weeks at Xmas time . Never been questioned. Done this since end of 2021

This is all so confusing! I stayed in Thailand from June 2nd 2024 until 10th February 2025. A total of 254 days if my maths is correct! I visited Jomtien Immigration for an extra 60 days in early July, did three border runs end of August,October,and December,obtaining 60 days on each occasion. This being a total of 254 days. All achieved on visa exemption. I had no difficulty whatsoever. I was told by Thai Visa Service whom I booked with,that one is permitted 3 border runs a year. And I do know there is no limitations if travelling by air. I really do wish an actual expert whom is schooled in Immigration law would clarify the rules once and for all. Not just those whom are not experts,and only judge on their own experiences. I dearly love Thailand and I know the country values it's tourism industry very valuably. Since it receives a vast income from tourism. But this ambiguity could put potential tourists off,and tempt visitors to Cambodia,Laos,and the Philippines. All which are far more welcoming,less bureaucratic,and easier to enter. It never used to be this way,and a report I read recently by the TAT,cited that due to a decrease in tourists to Thailand already,many were looking elsewhere. I want/intend to visit Thailand again shortly,but confess I'm looking elsewhere. Morroco seems enticingly welcoming and attractive!

No one is going to answer that, especially the embassy, it is up to the specific immigration officer in front of you. You are safer if you have a visa

Literally no one can tell you how many. Each entry is at the discretion of the immigration officer you are standing in front of. Recently people have been getting pulled out of line at the airport and interrogated if they've done a single 60 day entry with 30 day extension and then leave and try to return. Generally it seems like if you've spent 90 days in Thailand, they expect you to be gone more than 90 days before returning. "

The number of times you've entered Thailand doesn't really matter, it's about how much time you've been in Thailand. More than 6 months in the last year and you're asking for trouble. More than 3 months in the last 6 months, and you're also asking for trouble. Get a real visa if you want to spend more time than that in Thailand.
