I'm not sure about everybody else's experience, but each time I email the Thai Embassy London, they never answer my questions & I come away still lacking the answers. Their phone service is not answered which is more frustrating.
I asked this, if anyone can answer it:
Please can you answer if it's possible to come to Thailand this way?
Purchase a Single Entry Tourist Visa from the Thai Embassy for £30. Flights are booked from the UK for November 2024 and return home to the UK in May 2025. We'll stay in Thailand for 60 days then take a return flight to another country.
We'll fly back into Thailand after 2 weeks, and start our 60 days again under the Visa Exemption Scheme for UK Nationals. We'll then take another return flight to another country for 2 weeks towards the end of our 60 days.
We'll fly back into Thailand for our final 60 days under the Visa Exemption Scheme for UK Nationals. We'll then be flying back home to the UK before the end of those last 60 days.
TLDR : Answer Summary
A user queries the feasibility of their travel plans concerning Thai visa regulations, specifically about entering Thailand multiple times using the Visa Exemption Scheme after initially entering with a Single Entry Tourist Visa. Responses confirm that while the proposed plan is generally legal, there could be scrutiny from immigration officials after multiple entries. There is debate about the limits of visa exemptions, with some claiming that recent rule changes mean there are no strict limits as long as one adheres to the tourist pattern.
