Is the 6 months a year rule for tourist visas / exempt stamps still in effect? Is it only crooked visa agents Circumventing this for clients ATM?

So I am trying to book my flight to come out on or about September 15th. I plan on coming in on a 60 day visa, extending it to a 90 day visa and using an agent to help me with my retirement visa.

Is it ok to have a return flight later than the 60 days you get on your original visa or does your return flight when passing through customs the first time in Bangkok HAve to be returning within 60 days?

Does that make sense?

What if you wanted to legitimately tour parts of Thailand only for a total of five months a year, split into two stays, july and august and then later in Dec, Jan, Feb. Do you think you need to get a retirement visa, or some other form of visa, or can you just come in on a tourist visa?

I just re-enter Suvarnabhumi with my DTV and the agent is asking what I am doing here after taking pics of my few visa exempt stamps I got before in my passport.

Then pressed the yellow button for supervisor and she started questioning why I am here. I said medical, she asked to see my new appointment and asked why I don't do this in my country. She said because I had visa exempts before but now I have DTV, it's ok. Then I don't understand why they need to bring supervisor?

Also got stamp until 4th of November. Is this normal?

So there is still grilling involved even with DTV.

Good morning. I'm in between work permits and need to do a border run while we sort out the paperwork for a non-b. Is one night in Pedang Basar, Malaysia, enough, or should I book two nights?

I know we have to leave Thailand every 6 months and then re-enter. Does anyone know for how long we have to be out of the country before we can re-enter? Thanks in advance.

Are the 30 day stamps instead of 60 officially in now?

Hi guys

I have a DTV and my wife has a DTV ,we are planning to enter Thailand next month. Is it necessary to put my 1 year old son on a DTV now or would it be fine if I only put him on the DTV after the first 180 days? I have seen a few posts saying that kids under the age of 3 do not need a visa if they are accompanied by their parents?

I am isan now and and going to Nongkai for a couple of days tomorrow

Now if i cross the river to Laos for the day will they let me back in i still have 21 days left on my 60 day stamp

Just asking for advise with this digital arrival card just coming into play thanks for any advise

Arrived in Thailand 28th Feb an got a 60 days visa at Bangkok airport.

This is my experience at the Thai, Laos Vientiane crossing these past few days on a visa bounce.

Left Thailand on 25th April. The Thai immigration officer said I could not return as they were clamping down on visa bounce however she did not red flag me in the system. She told me to take a chance and it was the returning visa officers decision whether I could enter or notm

On 29th I returned and once again the visa officer stated I could not enter. However my wife of 38yrs explained I had a return ticket to the USA and that next visit would be on a non O visa obtained in Washington. Phew! Luckily he accepted this and stamped me for a further 60 days we had our house blue book, marriage cert and my ticket. Preparation I believe helped.

Be careful they are getting much stricter.

Hope this helps.
