What are the new limitations on visa-exempt entries to Thailand for US passport holders in 2025?

Dec 25, 2025

As an additional data point on the new limitations on visa exempt entries, here’s my Thailand entry / exit history for 2025 (USA passport).  I entered again yesterday afternoon on a visa exempt basis and had no issues or questions.

Sept. 29 enter Thailand at BKK visa exempt.  Leave Thailand on Oct. 17 and fly to Vietnam.  (19 days)

Nov. 17 enter Thailand at BKK visa exempt.  Leave December 13 and fly to Bangladesh.  (27 days)

Dec. 24 enter Thailand at BKK visa exempt.  

Obviously, this is a pattern for a genuine tourist rather than someone trying to live here on a visa exempt basis.  No problem at all on the third entry.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The poster shared their 2025 entry and exit history to Thailand on a visa-exempt basis, indicating they had no issues with multiple entries. They highlighted three entries: the first from September 29 to October 17, the second from November 17 to December 13, and the third entry on December 24. A commenter added clarification regarding confusion over the number of visa-exempt entries, emphasizing that the limitations are based on the total days spent rather than just the number of entries.

So many people are confused in saying its only two entries. Its amount of days. Two full entries of 60 plus 30 is 180 days which is more than the 150 days on visa exempt which i suspect is what they are looking at. 20 entries of lweekends in the country would only be 40 days. Every post got numpties saying its only two entries a year wherever they are getting this stupid info from (tik tok instagram whatever) its wrong
