Hi! Last December I arrived to Thailand and left for a 3 week long trip to Cambodia before exceeding the 60 days, around the early days of February. I came back to Bangkok at the end of February. Stayed until the end of April, then returned to Hungary, my home country.

I travelled back to Thailand at the end of September (so I spent 5 months outside of the country) and will fly to Vietnam this weekend. I have never exceeded the 60 days before leaving and never had a visa extension. I plan returning to Thailand in the middle of December. Should I worry about getting rejected and start thinking about applying for a visa instead of getting the usual stamp at arrival?

why get a Tourist Visa when you get 60 day Visa exempt ?

Has anyone visited Thailand twice this year using visa exemption and the again since 17 Nov? Each visit being less than 30 days with no extension and returning back to home country.

What's the best place to get a E visa, that you don't have to pay

hello, question for all experts 🙂 if i arrive in bkk, take over my baggage and recheck with local airline and fly to cambodia, can i reenter under same visa exemption which i get on first “entry”? my country is visa free in thailand..? or could this be a problem and i need to apply for METV? flight would not be connected so i need to go through imigration tho..

planing 14 days of cambodia and than thailand..

Hi last year I arrived to Thailand on a tourist visa exemption for 60 days on December 2024 and got a 30 day extension for 30 days from immigration and left Thailand to Australia on the end of February 28… now I will come to Thailand on 7 December on a 60 day visa exemption and extend for another 30 days from the immigration office is this going to be a problem? i want to stay 90 days total and leave to Australia again on February 28th I have hotels booked and also have a condo there I also have a flight booked back to Australia Thank you appreciate your help and time also is it per year or per calendar year ?

I am a little bit confused with these new visa exemption entry rules and hope someone can help. My sister has visited me on a visa exemption twice this year already, but she never stayed for more than 2 weeks at a time.

She was planning on visiting me again for Christmas and new year, but now we hear people say that with new regulations people are only allowed two visa exemptions per year.

Does anybody know if this is true? We are now afraid to book her flight tickets in case they deny her entry.

Just sharing my DTV journey - I have entered for 3 times within a year of receiving DTV. Today, I landed at Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK), and felt a bit worried due to recent declaration of stricter screening especially to the travelers who enter Thailand with Visa exemption scheme although DTV holders are not in targeted list. But, the whole immigration process took place so quickly. I handed my passport, the boarding pass, the printed eVisa and completed TDAC in my phone (Officer even didn’t look at my phone as my TDAC already appeared in his computer after scanning my passport). He didn’t ask any questions, scanned my passport & the barcode of my eVisa, stamped for 180 day stay and finished. That’s totally different with the 1st time of entry that I was individually interviewed by the officer in charge of the border checkpoint (I entered Thailand with the DTV for the first time through border crossing from Cambodia), and I even missed the bus due to interviewing, long waiting time to finish immigration clearance to other travelers and interrogation to other travelers before me. This means 1st time is to be careful while the process is quite straightforward in subsequent times of reentries.

I did two stints earlier in the year on visa free exemption both were extended by 30 days so I stayed all up just under 180days. I’ve been out of Thailand and back in my home country for 4 months.

I am coming back into Thailand next week also with a return flight booked back to my home country booked in 2 and half months. I have applied for a tourist visa and it has been accepted should I be worried with the recent visa updates ?

Anyone who has been let back in Thailand on new DTV after a history of border bounces (visa exempt)?
