This is an entirely Different visa

How to fix this as it obvious they mixed up my application

With another I have sent a email to their

Web site is there anything else I can do thanks

True, went into effect last week. 2 per year. Get a tourist visa for $40, might help. Ignore all the wrong answers and useless opinions.

She is obviously a genuine tourist and has not had extentions on top of her previous visa exempt visits . She can go ahead and book and will be fine . Thailand welcomes tourists such as her .

If she is really worried , she can apply to the Thai Embassy online for a tourist visa .

There is no hard and fast answer. Your sister clearly isn’t part of the group they are really targeting but it all depends the what the IO in front of her thinks.

Your sis is fine as her pattern of travel is not what the measures are for.

No problem

Its going to take a while to get a good idea about how immigration and the individual immigration officers are going to deal with the new rules. Youve got more than enough time to get a tourist visa which for the next visit may be the safest option until we see more stories in the group about people entering on visa exemptions.

There's only a limit on the extensions, not on the visa exempt entries. As long as you stay less then 60 days, you will be fine. I go next week for my 4th trip this year, no worries.

Your sister will be fine…..the new measures are aimed at visitors who abuse the visa exemption system by staying long term.

To increase chances of a successful entry, have an onward ticket and hotel reservations.

From AI -

Entry limits (“cap” on visa-exempt entries)

• For land border entries: limited to two visa-exempt entries per calendar year. 

• For air arrivals, the situation is more ambiguous. Some sources used to say “unlimited entries by air,” but newer reports claim there is a practical limit of 2 per calendar year by air, and a 3rd could be denied. 

• According to Thai legal-immigration media, “travellers who attempt more than two visa-exempt entries within a year may be denied entry on their third attempt.”
