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.

Nope... the by land border rule is specific... TWO PER CALENDAR YEAR
