Hi is there still a limit on the number of land entries per calendar year?

Thanks
Answer summary
As of July 15th, the previous rule limiting visa-exempt travelers to two free land entries per calendar year has been rescinded. However, there is no official limit now, meaning that entries are at the discretion of the immigration officer. This can vary based on the officer's evaluation, and travelers should not assume they can enter without restrictions. It is advised to use services that facilitate smoother border crossings for same-day returns.

No itโ€™s all up to the IO you stand in front of but with the 60 +30 exempt stamp I believe from what I read there getting tougher

People need to understand that just because the rule of 2 free visa exempt entries by land in a calendar year was rescinded on July 15th the fact there is no official limit to entries by land does not mean unlimited entries ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

All that happened is rather than being guaranteed TWO relatively safe free stamp entries by land in a calendar year, you're now 100% completely at the mercy of the officer you're standing in front of to stamp in to the country.

THEY are the gate keepers, they get to decide if they think you're living here milking free 60 day entry stamps, and they get to decide if you can bounce out/back the same day, need to stay in the neighboring country a day or two, or if you'll be denied entry, sent back to the country you just stamped out of, go to an airport and fly back in ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

If you're going to bounce out/back by land use a service provider in your area that takes you to the border and back.

Those companies have the "pre-wheels greased" so you can get out and back in the same day. That's why they charge what they do ๐Ÿ™‚

Remember; ๐—ป๐—ผ ๐—น๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ถ๐˜ ๐—ฑ๐—ผ๐—ฒ๐˜€ ๐—ก๐—ข๐—ง ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ป ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—น๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ถ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

Safe travels,
