What are the new visa exemption restrictions for entering Thailand?

Hello!

I would appreciate a little help with the new rules.

I will enter Thailand visa-exempt for 60 days, but because I’m competing in several international sports events in nearby countries, I will have to leave Thailand and re-enter within the same 60+30-day period. First time within the 60 already.

My concern is that when I re-enter, I might receive fewer days (30 instead of 60), and that may not be enough for me to stay in Thailand until my final competition, which takes place there. All my flights and sports registrations are already booked — I just want to be sure I can legally stay long enough (the total period is no longer than the official regulations, but exceeds the 2 time entry) to complete my competition schedule without risking my returns.

What option would you recommend in this situation?

i stayed 2023 - mid may 2024 for 9 months total (tourist visa + visa exempt +extensions) and then back to home country for 13 months and then last summer i was in thailand for 1 month in july (visa exempt), now i'm going back for 50 days in december (visa exempt), do you think my past history of 2023-204 will affect for getting in the country in december ? i'm a geniune tourist and work 9to5 in my home country. thank you !

Sounds old mate whose wife and children live in BKK will be limited to 2 trips a year instead of 5.

I've entered Thailand last December and left this February after 60 day + 30 days extension. I have on my passport few stamps and extensions of 2023 and 2024. Can it be a problem?

My nephew is a FIFO worker in Australia. So he comes to Thailand for 2 weeks and then flies back to Australia for 2 weeks ongoing. Will he be affected by the new rules

Is there any change with entries with METV? I came with this visa to Thailand just two days ago. I am planning leave to Vietnam at December, come back to Thailand before NY, leave again to Phillipines in February, stay there one week and then come back to Thailand again, stay until end of March and then flight back to my home country in Europe. I send all my travel plans to thai embassy in my home country and i got the visa. So I hope there are changes only related to visa exemptions and not METV, right?

Why don´t they give us back the Non-O visiting Thai family (90 days), like we had before. Back then you only needed the funds in your home country (1700€), but it was gone when they introduced the visa excemption, and now you must have 400.000 or 800.000THB to proof even if you only want to stay for 3 months. I am sure there are many people that used it back then. Now they punisch all the people because of some that misuse the system.

Two per calendar year, or per 12 months?

Is there any impact for APEC card holders coming in a few times per year for business meetings?
