Is there a chance to return to Thailand after being denied entry?

Visa

So you applied the 3rd time to stay in Thailand, I'm assuming another 90 days . So 270 days total . Are you a tourist or living here. You need the proper visa say a retirement visa than you can stay here for long term

Contact a reputable agent. Ongoing price to get in safe entry from a denied entry is 8-12k baht. Further entry it will be around 4k baht. You could have gotten back in November 26 if you wanted. Doesn't matter when you try with agent, you are guaranteed getting back in.

This is an exact description of what the IOs have been instructed to watch for.

Get a proper visa.

So according to the rules, you are permitted to enter after January 1st, as a new calendar year.. But have read several posts that claim this will not be the case... Not sure if it's visa agents that are persistent this will not work, but maybe worth a try entering after January 1st?

Only with long term visa. DTV, marriage, Elite,

Think you can’t enter for 3 months once denied

There are no new "visa rules" or a new law.

What has changed, mandated from above, is the stricter review of the number of visa-free entries and the check for "visa runs" (actually, "back-to-back border runs" were meant).

The new approach of border officials is to ensure that "visa runs" and the visa-free entry system is not “milked” for a longstay in Thailand.

You can now only extend visa-free entries twice within a 365-days period.

The first visa-exempt entry can be extended with 30 days, but the second exempt entry can only be extended by 7 days.

60 + 30 + 60 + 7 = 157 days maximum within a 1-year period.

This applies REGARDLESS of whether you arrive by air or via a land border.

Unfortunately, it remains unclear, and it's left to the discretion of the individual immigration officer.

There have been reports where the 7-day extension was denied, with the explanation that you can't get an extension for visa-free entry via a land border, and there have been cases under the same conditions that were accepted.

And there are cases where 30 days were also granted for the second extension! What your experience will be is uncertain.

REMEMBER: Only these two extensions are possible per one-year period on visa-exempt entries.

This is not about the "calendar year," as that would make absolutely no sense. Nothing is "reset" on January 1st - this is a rumor circulating in Facebook groups, but it is NOT true.

Visa-exempt entries themselves are unlimited!

BUT: the total number of days of visa-free stays is limited!

Some people believe that unlimited visa-free entries are possible by air, yet that's simply wrong.

It is certainly possible, at the individual discretion of the border official, to allow multiple visa-free entries, for example, 3, 4, 5, or even more times.

In this case, your passport and the immigration central computer must show that your stays were short-term, for example, two weeks, and your total annual stay should not exceed 157 days.

There should be several weeks between each entry. The goal of this new approach was to prohibit "same-day visa runs," where you only stay briefly in a neighboring country and then immediately re-enter Thailand.

You must be able to prove your planned short stay at the immigration counter – for example, with proof of onward travel, such as a flight ticket.

I can say with certainty that border officials will consider you a "genuine" tourist for such short trips within a year.

However, they should be able to see on their central computer that you never extended these short trips with border runs or made any extra trips.

This is perfectly in line with the rules in Thailand.You can't enter more than twice, with a maximum of 90 days each time, which makes 180 days in total. After that, you'll need to get a 90-day tourist visa, which you'll have to pay for.

East. Get a visa. 😊

Max days per year visa-exempt is now 157 days. It resets Jan 1st. You should get a visa

Come back in the new calendar year and you’ll be ok.

Why not just get a visa?

Next year..

You need a long term visa, edu visa, DTV or some other, you definitely need to pay for a long term visa if you wanna live in Thailand. Fast track service might serve you only one more entry and that maybe. Better ask agents they can inform you precisely which options are possible, they know what is legally appropriate exactly for you — not here

180 days, no wonder you gor rejected. Guess you will have to wait until May if you want to come on visa exempt. Otherwise, do what Brandon says.

How is "I didnt do it" posible? Didn't they take your passport and put you in detention until your flight to your passport country?

Get visa and no problems anymore

I'm curious, this is now the 3rd post you've put up in the space of a week with each one basically saying and asking the same thing. Are you expecting and/or hoping someone gives you an answer which you want to hear?

No wonder why they denied you . All back to back entries . So you abusing the system

Try 1 Jan

It’s the first of the year

You have been in Thailand half the year with two back to back visa exemptions and extensions. This is why you were denied as they think you are trying to live in Thailand without a long term visa. Apparently that is no longer being permitted. Follow Todd's advice and maybe you will be good to go.

What was the reason given for denial of entry? Where? Land or air entry?

Apply for a visa from the Thai embassy, or pay for a safe entry agent. The safe entry is going to be expensive though since you've already been denied entry.
