Hello members,

I am well aware of the two land boarder maximum entry allowance per year.

We entered about two months ago from Malaysia and stayed for 5 days.

We plan to enter again in about a month to stay for a 45 days or more (exemption + eventually extension).

You think somebody will make troubles if I or we go in two weeks for a couple of days to check out an accomodation, then return to malaysia?

Still planing to go again in a month. All through land boarder. It would add up to the third entry in 2022.

Thanks for your advice.

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is inquiring about the implications of making a third land border entry into Thailand in one calendar year, after having already entered twice. They plan a short trip for accommodation scouting before a longer stay and want to know if this would cause problems at the border. A commenter emphasizes that Thailand allows only two visa-exempt entries by land per year, suggesting the user may be denied entry if they attempt a third time.

what part of TWO visa exempt entries by land in a calendar year are you not glomming on to? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

You can't get THREE, it's a limit of two by land per year (Jan 1 to Dec 31) there is no wiggle room. ๐Ÿ˜•

I think they just will turn you away at the border and say fly in you used your visa exempt entries this year.

thank you. I figured maybe they enforce it only for people who stay usually for the maximum duration in Thailand and leave only to return right away.
