Is there a time frame for the fly-in visa exempt to repeat? As if…leaving CNX @@after 30 days…no extensions …@and returning for another month? I plan to go to Vietnam for a month between visiting Thailand again. Any source of info that is official? Can’t find it at the Thai Embassy site in LA. Thx for sharing your experience.
Answer summary
The question revolves around the time frame for repeating a visa exempt entry to Thailand after a short stay, specifically after a 30-day visit followed by a month in Vietnam. The consensus from comments indicates that there is no specific time frame—it is essentially a case of re-entering under visa exemption each time. However, it’s suggested that if someone frequently uses this option, it may raise concerns over visa legitimacy. For those worried about such issues, obtaining a tourist visa for the initial stay might be a safer option.

If you are worried about getting a second visa exempt entry without returning "home" then get a tourist visa for your first stay. If you have an extensive history of Visa Exempt entries over the last 12 to 18 months that might not help though.

What you are looking for doesn't exist. If you enter Thailand without a visa, then you enter visa exempt. Every time.
