Hello all,

I have a friend who is in Thailand right now. She came in on a visa exemption and got 45 days on arrival. After this is finished she will pay for a 30 day extension at the nearest immigration office in Thailand. She told me after that she has to leave Thailand because it's not possible to stay for more than 90 out of 180 days. Is this true? Surely people have done visa runs (and come back in on a 60 day tourist visa) or a border bounce (and come back in on another visa exemption) so that they can spend longer than 90 in 180 days in Thailand? I looked online but couldn't find anything about this 90 out of 180 day rule. I would be very grateful for any clarity on this situation 🙏🙏

I have a visa TR 60 days, arrive 24.1 to 24.3. , flight 24.3 to malaysia, back to thailand 24.3. , I hope to get a 45 day visa , but can I stay for 45 days ? because of the 90/ 180 day rule
