Hi, I entered Thailand visa exempt, then got a 60 day extension to visit Thai wife, valid through March 5. If I were to take a trip out of Thailand and return Feb 26, would I need a reentry permit? Would I be allowed back into the country? Thanks
I’m on a 60 day tourist visa. I had a visa in May, and extended it for 30 days. My question is can I get an extension on my current visa under the new rules, and what are my options if I want to stay in Thailand if I can’t extend the current tourist visa?
I visit Thailand around four times a year staying two weeks at a time. If l wanted to stay longer like few days shorter than sixty days but do it two three times a year will there be any problems with immigration?
Expect to arrive in Thailand Nov 9th. Since November 18 of 2024 I visited Thailand twice and stayed a total of 174 days. Will there be a problem entering?
On the subject of being denied entry based on the amount of time spent here even when following there rules, is there a specific number of days per year that is too many? Is it a calendar year or based on the first entry?
Do denials of entry (because of too many tourist visas or visa exempt entries) seem to happen more often at airports than at land borders?
I am wondering if it's better to fly to a nearby country like Malaysia and enter Thailand overland instead of flying directly into Thailand.
Even though I haven't been in Thailand for 1.5 years now, I have entered visa exempt quite a few times in the years before that and am worried about being forced to fly back home, since I read about so many people being denied entry recently (especially at airports?).
Can I ask a question which has been answered before. It’s because the rules change so frequently, I’ve just spent 2 months in Thailand ( I’m from uk ) my holiday finished on the 22nd of may … how long is it before I can come again to Thailand ( 3 months this time ) … is it 6 month gap ??? Thank you for your time & patience
