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
The user inquired about the feasibility of traveling to Thailand multiple times using the visa exemption scheme, specifically whether it would be legal for a UK national to enter Thailand three times within six months, with planned stays of 60 days each. Community responses indicated that this approach is generally permitted, with warnings possible after excessive use of exemptions. Additionally, there was discussion on the necessity of applying for a tourist visa, with many suggesting it may not be needed given the duration of planned stays and the number of entries. Overall, the consensus is that multiple entries are allowed but may depend on the discretion of immigration officers.
