I need to do a visa run back to the U.K by the 25th March.

Is there a set amount of time i need to stay in the UK before i can return to Thailand?

I read that i must be in the UK for at least 21 days before i can return, but not sure how accurate this is, and cant see much on either immigration website.

Thanks all

Answer summary

The individual is seeking clarification about whether there is a mandatory minimum stay in the UK before they can return to Thailand after a visa run. Comments clarify that there is no enforced rule requiring a minimum stay, and previous policies regarding 21 days in quarantine exemption were lifted after Thailand reopened to vaccinated travelers.

The 21 days in quarantine exempt countries rule was dropped when Thailand opened up to vaccinated travelers from any country.

There is NO rule that you have to stay abroad for a minimum time to re-enter Thailand.

Before Covid, people did border runs, go out, stamp in neighbor country, stamp out, stamp in Thailand all in less than 30 minutes.
