I'm an Offshore Worker on a 28/28 day rotation I have previously travelled in and out if Thailand every 28 days on visa exemption and never had an issue but that was over 10yrs ago. Currently I travel to Thailand 3 or 4 times a year again on visa exempt and still never had an issue but I am reading more and more where multiple entrants are getting questioned and sometimes turned around, I do see that a lot of these are usually staying for the 60 days and applying for the extra 30.

My question is are there still rig pigs travelling in and out every 28 days on visa exemptions and not having any problems as Im considering doing that again so it would be 6 or 7 entries a yr.

Hello! I wanted to have your opinion on my situation, it would be helpful if some of you could share your experiences

I came to thailand on May 2nd and benefited from a 2 month visa exemption

On May 17th I had to come back to my home country (France) and came back on May 21st.

When I came back, a new stamp has been done on my passport so I have been given a second visa exemption until August 21st

In September, I will go to Vietnam to apply for my DTV Visa

But in the meantime, next week, I will go to Singapour (come back on August 18th so before my visa exemption expires)

I’m thinking maybe that could seem suspicious to immigration agents

1) Do you know if I can be granted a visa exemption a third time?

2) Should I go to the immigration next week to get a visa exemption extension (+1 month)? In your experience, is this easy to get and how long does it usually take to wait at the immigration (will I be done at 12 if I get there when it opens)?

I am a US citizen, flying in from Europe. I want to stay in Thailand for 6-8 weeks starting month.

I know the visas keep changing.

Do US passport holders still get 60 days on entry or 30? How is it working these days? If it is 30 days how can I extend?

I was in Thailand from September 2024 to middle of January 2025. I’m not sure if that will be a problem. And i was there during covid.

Seeing if there is anything I should know before coming back next month (September)

Hi everyone,

I could use your advice on Thai immigration.

Here’s my situation:

• I first entered Thailand on a 3-month tourist visa,

• Then I switched to a 1-year ED visa,

• After that expired, I did a 1-month visa run.

During the visa run, it was a close call: the immigration officer pulled me aside and only let me in after I booked a return flight on the spot. I was on crutches and explained that I needed more time in Thailand to fully recover.

Now I’ve been out of Thailand for almost 2 months, and I’d really like to go back — I miss it a lot, to be honest.

My question is:

👉 If I fly in without a visa (I’m eligible for a 60-day visa exemption), is there a risk they’ll deny me entry at the airport?

I’m planning to stay on this 60-day exemption and then apply for a DTV (Digital Nomad Visa) once my funds have been in my account for 3 months (the required 500,000 THB).

I know I’m a bit impatient to get back 😅 but I want to avoid any trouble at the border.

Has anyone had a similar experience?

Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone, I understood that as a German I have 30 days no visa needed for Thailand, but today I received this stamp. I’m a bit confused, I thought I needed to apply ahead of time to get 60 days. Does this mean I’m good for 60 days?

Thanks in advance

Hi all. I am trying to extend my visa exemption (60 days) through the e-extension option on the Chiang Mai Immigration site. I understand I still need to go into the immigration office. I'm just not sure what "Current Visa Sub Category" as I can't see anything listed there on the stamp in my passport. Any ideas?

Hello,

I will be doing a third entry in Thailand in about 3 months this in total, would you recommend getting a safe entry service?

I’ve seen posts of people being rejected all the time here with visa exemptions.

Here is my recent travel history:

• First entry into Thailand: June 5th to July 16th (total: 42 days)

• Trip to Indonesia: July 16th to July 23rd

• Second entry into Thailand: July 23rd to August 13th (total: 21 days)

• Now traveling to the Philippines: August 13th to August 30th

I plan to return to Thailand on August 30th and stay for another 60+30 days, but I’m concerned because it would be my third entry in under three months, even though the total time spent in Thailand is around 63 days.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I will be traveling to Indonesia 7 days, can I apply Thai evisa visiting family from there? My

passport is French

Hi, Im an Australian passport holder, I want to stay in Thailand about 40 days under the Visa Exemption scheme for up to 60 days, then spent a week in Malaysia and come back to Thailand for another 30 days. Can I re-enter through the same process to receive another 60-day stay or I need to apply for Multiple entry visa. Thank you

Heads up!

my son and his GF have been in and out of thailand on visa exemptions for a year or so ( they do Mauy thai). long story short they came back to Australia to apply for Multiple entry tourist visa. They were approved in 3 days.. Happy - took flights to Phuket yesterday ( with flights out of the country in less then 90 days). They were totally grilled and eventually let in but told they can not return again this year! ( despite the visa being approved for 6 months). They were advised to get a DTV ( but GF under 20).

evidently to do with spending more then 180 days in one year in thailand. just thought i’d let people know.
