I'm here on a 60 day tourist visa exemption (from October 15 2024) and just got a 30 day extension last week (1900 baht) at Buriram immigration. I'm staying until at least mid March so I've been told I can get another 60 day visa on January 11. Does this sound right or do I have to pop into Cambodia?

Hey guys, I’m currently in Thailand and trying to figure out how to stay longer—around 3 months or more.

I’d like to avoid land border runs (I really don’t trust those mini-vans 😅), but I’m trying to plan things out properly.

Here’s my situation so far:

- June 2 to July 10, 2024: I stayed in Thailand earlier this year (used the 45-day visa exemption + 30-day extension).

- December 9, 2024, to February 7, 2025: I’m currently here again (planning to use the 60-day visa exemption + 30-day extension).

I'm from Portugal, Europe..if that matters.

In February 2025, I’m thinking about leaving by plane for a week, go to China for a few days, and then flying back to Thailand.

My goal is to get another visa exemption for another 2-3 months.

I know it’s ultimately up to the immigration officer, but how strict are they considering the days I spent here the last year?

Would this work, or should I look into another solution?

I’m planning to get an DTV/ED in June 2025, so I just need to figure out how to handle my stays until then.

Thanks for any tips or experience you can share!

I want to add that this is a standard rule in other countries, which is why I wonder if Thailand also has this.

What is the general rule regarding staying in Thailand under visa exemptions? I was recently denied entry after spending a total of around 150 days in Thailand over the past few months using visa exemptions.

My question is: does this reset when the new calendar year begins, or will immigration still see my previous stays in their system and deny me entry unless I obtain a proper visa?

Thanks!

Are border runs allowed for tourist visa? Better on land or air?

Hi all 👋

I'm sorry for the redundance of this question but I can't find any clear answers on my researches... I'm here on a 60 days exemption visa (fr), already did the extension of 30 extra days and now planning on doing an exit/re-entry of the country in order to get another 60days exemption of visa. I'll take the train from Bangkok to Poipet on my own. (No agencies)

Is there any clear law about the obligation or not to stay one night in Cambodia before going back to BKK ? Does it depend on the border you choose ?

Thank you very much in advance for your help🙏

What’s the best/most affordable route if I’m in Chiang Mai and need to do my border run, preferably same day if possible?

Hi all... I am an Australian passport holder. Do I need Thai visa for 2 week visit? Thanks

Hey all, anyone have personal experiences with entering Thailand on visa exempt while waiting for their DTV? My application is about 11 days old, but New York takes about a month. I know it's not allowed but I've read a lot of people just go to Thailand while their visa is pending and get approved no issues, anyone do this and run into an issue? Thanks in advance

Hi,.

I came to Thailand for 23 days, but have had to extend by a further 28 days. Total 51 days. Am I supposed to do anything please? Apologies if it's a stupid question.
