Entered Thailand on 5th November with a UK passport. Left on 6th January and was fined for two days overstay. Unintentional just a minor administrative issue.

I plan to return on 1st April until 4th April for a tattoo and online work. I have onward travel booked. Likelihood of being granted entry?

I assume it will be no problem but just wondering if anyone else has been in a similar situation with the current restrictions being tightened. TIA.

Hi, I’d like to ask about visa-free entry to Thailand.

My partner previously stayed in Thailand from August 15 to November 12, then left for about a week and re-entered from November 19 to February 2.

Since February 2, she has been outside Thailand for around 2 months, and is now planning to re-enter on April 1 by flight.

In this case, would she still be able to enter Thailand visa-free, or is there a risk of being refused entry?

Thank you very much.

Hi everyone,

Quick question about re-entering Thailand.

I entered Thailand in November 2024 with a Single Entry Tourist Visa, used it fully including the extension, and then did two visa runs, extending those as well. In total I stayed until 31 July 2025 (around 8–9 months in Thailand).

Since then I’ve been outside Thailand and now plan to re-enter on 16 March 2026 visa-exempt.

I know that nobody can give a definite answer since it always depends on the immigration officer, but I’d be interested in your opinions or experiences. Does being outside Thailand for about 7–8 months usually reset the pattern, or could this still raise questions at immigration?

Thanks!

Hi all, apologies for the anonymous post but i felt it was needed for personal reasons.

I have applied for the privilege visa and was given a 4-5 weeks wait. During this time my 60 days exempt plus 30 days extension expired.

I therefore left for 18 days and am due to fly back to Thailand on 4 March, still without my privilege visa.

As i just did 90 days (November to February) i am told i should be allowed another exempt entry, but i am worried. What are your thoughts?

I hope this makes sense (but i guess someone will tell me if not 😂😂) 🙏🙏🥰🥰

Does an eight year-old child from the US need an E visa to re-enter Thailand? We left using her US passport, although she has dual citizenship because she was born in Thailand and also has a Thai passport.

✈️📄 Update on 90-Day Reporting 📄✈️

Previously, I thought that when you went abroad, like to Japan, and then came back to Thailand, you had to report in-person at Chiang Wattana Immigration Division 1 within 24 hours!

About a month ago, I even made an appointment to save myself five hours of waiting.

When I arrived and showed them that I had re-entered Thailand yesterday (February 23rd), they told me I did NOT have to report right away. Instead, my new report date is May 23, which is exactly 90 days from February 23. See the picture.

So this seems to be how it works now. When you leave Thailand and re-enter, your 90 days resets from the date you return. You do not have to rush to immigration in-person within 24 hours.

Just sharing this so nobody else scrambles to the immigration office unnecessarily.

I do think you still need to report in-person. But maybe can do online afterwards. You could try online, but I’m not sure it will work.

I plan to leave Thailand through the Nong Khai land border to Laos.

I want to stay 1 night in Laos, then fly back into Thailand through Bangkok airport.

Is 1 night enough, or do I need to stay 2 nights outside Thailand?
