How Many Times Can You Enter and Exit Thailand with a Visa Exemption of 60 Days?

well it’s the wrong question, it’s not how many times that’s not relevant. It has to do with the pattern. Staying 60 days then getting an extension for 30 days then leave for a day and repeat, and keep repeating like that you will have a problem.

2 times by ground. Straight from border agents mouth.

2 times only by ground. Direct from border agent mouth.

The thing to remember is that a visa exempt entry is for the purposes of tourism. As soon as you appear to not be a genuine tourist you are going to run into issues.

I am here now my 5th time this year

Up to 6 times a year by air or sea (according to the Thai embassy in London website)

It depends on the immigration officer's instinct...

Kind of depends on your situation but if return by air and stay out for at least a day or two then you are just a tourist. The land border visa runs will get you into trouble after doing 2 consecutive runs. Show details of your living arrangements for the 60 days and they should just ignore you as they really want tourism numbers higher. Don't look like a backpacker by booking cheap hostels and they will respect you more. 😎

One then you start your 60 visa again

They literally JUST changed it to crack down on this. You might be looking at 30 to 90days. (From what I understand) I’m looking at moving around to Vietnam, Cambodia, Philippines, and Laos to run out the Reentry clock .. Make sure you’re staying up-to-date with the countries laws on visas because they seem to be changing rapidly

Ask about the 30 day extension, get it, tell them thinking about leaving and coming back. Leave come back, thinking about doing it again? Check out some jobs, apply, get hired then quit if don’t like it, got a work visa for longer stays if so desired. Thailand isn’t going to breath down your neck unless a vagrant with no skills or money or disrespectful. Good Luck that approach can get you six months or more to get a work visa. If sweating immigration department.

Until the IO you’re stood in front of says no.

only personal experience matters

i got stopped in phuket

flying back from KL IN march

second border bounce

there were no other flights landing same time

nice

no queue

but means IO has time to look into it

they can see all your info

where your TM30 s are…

if you are moving around or not

i was questioned

then told no more extensions

get the right visa!!!

3 visa exemptions within a 6 month period according to the embassy website but like every thing else in Thailand it’s surrounded by vagueness and whatever.

Each time you enter it reset to zero days!

Can u do same day fly out and back in ?

Here me out you can do it many of times. I know some people that do it for 4 years border runs.. You can do it solo and then you find an agent that has crooked eye. It happens,, is it honest? Lots of Karen's will be upset but it's true people go....

Here's the thing Thailand knows they are coming back. So when people leave and go to Malaysia Laos or Cambodia and depends if they need a visa. These countries will make some money off of visas visa entries, flights, commercial sales etc etc. People may stay in those countries for a few weeks and make it a mini vacay and then go back to Thailand.. All these countries benefit cause they all make tourist dollars.

Now it also does depend on immigration officers.

For example my friend got questioned cause he didn't have tm30(temp residency form) so when he went back he pleaded ignorance for not knowing he need the form. He said he loved Thai culture and loved the experience and wanted to see more. He just talked and explained for 4 minutes and they let him in.

You just need to have a good reason and be a confident talker and you shouldn't have an issue. Closed mouths don't get fed. People extend and immigration understand

If there's a will there's a way. Just do it.

No limits if you're here visiting tourist purposes. If you live here then you need visa.

It's completely up to immigration. I entered Thailand via Chiang Mai Airport from Malaysia on Saturday, and immigration didn't bat an eyelid....my friend made the same journey today, him and others were pulled aside and grilled by immigration!

It's luck of the draw

There’s no official restriction and totally in the discretion of the IO you’re standing in front of. If they at one point means you’re misusing tourist solution for long terms stays in Thailand you’ll be told to get a proper visa.

no limit by air, ! but it’s up to immigration!🤷🏻‍♂️

There is no official limit. But that does not mean it's unlimited. You can do it as many times as they let you do. Each and every entry is at the discretion of the immigration officer you are standing in front of. If you do it too many times, or spend too long in Thailand without a long-term visa, you will start to encounter issues. They will pull you out of line and interview you, ask you what you think you are doing, possibly ask to see proof of funds and proof of your ticket out of Thailand. Eventually they will either warn you to get a proper long-term visa or they will just deny entry to you altogether. Most people start to encounter this around 6 months in the country, but it's completely random.

I read it was unlimited through air border but don’t quote me on that.
