Hello everyone and thank you for all your advice.

I cannot find clear information on this subject. Can you tell me from your personal experience, what conditions must be followed to leave the territory every 180 days? Land, air?✈️⛴️🚶‍♂️

How many days? 🗓

Thank you all.
Answer summary
To comply with Thailand's regulations for extended stays, you must report to immigration every 90 days with your TM30 if you stay continuously. After 180 days, you can either extend your stay at the immigration office or exit Thailand and re-enter at any time within the 180 days. Both land and air travel are permissible for this purpose, but consecutive 180-day extensions are not allowed.

So, every 90 days of continuous stay you need to report to immigration with your TM30. If you exit Thailand before 90 days and enter again then this clock resets.

Post first 180 days of continuous stay, you have a choice to extend your stay by visiting the immigration office.

Alternatively, you can exit Thailand at any given point less that 180 days of continuous stay by land or air and re-enter again.

Remember, you cannot make 180 days extensions twice in succession.
