Is it ok to do back-to-back border bounces? My first visa exemption (plus extension) this year is about to expire. Are immigration ok with doing a second border bounce straight after, and at the same entry point? (Mae Sai) (I'm aware of the 2 per year limit)

TLDR : Answer Summary
The community discusses the possibility of doing back-to-back border bounces at Mae Sai after a visa exemption expires. Many users confirm that it is typically acceptable to do more than one border bounce in a year, though there may be limits on how often you can do this at the same entry point. Users shared personal experiences, indicating that while encountering few issues, one should be cautious of the two per year limit and ensure that immigration is handled properly.

Thanks all! I did the border bounce yesterday, no problem - apart from them stamping me in until 21 June 2018! (I went back and they changed it)

So if I fly to the loas Embasy instead of land crossing can I do it more the. Twice?

2 visa exempt stamp per year at land crossing, the sequence does not matter. And if you come in by air they have no legal limit. And coming in with a visa also does not count towards the TWO visa exempt per calendar year.

Yes. That's okay

Yes you'll be ok but It will be your last land crossing without a visa.
