Hi,

Is that true, that officially they can give you only 2 tourist visa/ year?

My husband was here 4 times last year, and someone said he was lucky. 🙄🤔?

Thanks

TLDR : Answer Summary
The post discusses whether there is an official limit on the number of tourist visas one can obtain in Thailand within a year. The consensus from comments suggests that while there is a limitation for citizens of 54 countries regarding visa-exempt entries at land borders (limited to two entries a year), there is no official cap on the number of tourist visas that can be issued for other nationalities, especially when entering by air. However, frequent entries may draw the attention of immigration officers.

Sorry to disappoint a few people, but NO, there is NO limit on the amount of how many tourist Visa a person can get.

Officially Immigration has 1 limitation and that is for the 54 countries who can only enter twice a Calendar year without a Visa by land/sea borders using the Visa Exempt Entry.

For all other type of visa or entry there is no official limit.

no not OK. Be prepared to be denied if you push the envelope of living in Thailand with back to back visas, visa exempt entries and extensions.

Good Luck.

Visa exempt. 2 visits a year by land and unlimited times by air.

It’s the duration of stay each visit which may cause problems
