I have been to Thailand 3 times in 2025 for Holliday for a total of 100 days…can I go to Thai in Feb 26 for 40 days due to new rules that came out 14 nov25

Thanks any one who knows.

Today I received my 90 day O-visa from the uk thai embassy, it’s valid from 25th November 2025 until 22nd February 2026, Question is, do I use it on arrival on 1st December 2025 and let it run for 90 days, and before the 90 days is up extend it by 30 days (if possible),.Or do I enter on a visa exempt 60 days, extend that by 30 days and then exit thailand by land or air and come back in and using my 90 day O-visa ? Obviously before the 22nd February visa expiry,. Just looking for advice to get the maximum amount of days in thailand legally, I don’t really want to go down the border bounce route because of recent clamp downs,. I’ve acquired the O-visa with the 65000 bht per month income method, I don’t have the 800000 bht to put in thai bank,(I don’t have a Thai bank account either) also I’m not really prepared to have my account frozen if I do manage to get 800000 bht. TIA for responses,.

Hello. I am a british passport holder and arrived in Thailand, I used my 60 days visa exempt then did my 30 days extension. Went to Vietnam for 1 ½ months then onto the Philippines for 2 ½ months. I plan to return to Thailand before I travel home before new year. Will I have a problem with immigration? Thanks

Hi to you!

Is it true that if you do a border run at the Chiang Khong/Huay Xai border you have to stay a minimum of two(2) nights in Laos?

It's suppose to be an enforcement from the Thai border dating from august 2024.

Thanks!

Further more do we still have a 60 days Thai Visa Exempt Stamp. This would be my 2nd so I should be ok.

Thanks again for your help.

Sorry, if this has been asked 100 times, I even tried the embassy, but I get an error message. With 60 day visa exempt, can I go and come back once within the 60 days? This would NOT be a 'visa run', obvioudly, but just a flight to Vietnam for 2 days, in order not to lose my 'Flying Blue' frequent flyer miles by taking a short flight on a partner airline, and crediting the miles to 'Flying Blue'. Just one clear answer is all I need, thanks in advance.

Hi everyone!

I applied for tourist visa and paid.

Now they ask me why i do that, since im from Spain i dont need visa. I did because i was already in Thailand 2 times this year...

I guess i will not have the money back? Thanks

Hi folks, on Nov 30th my 2 month Visa Exemption will expire. I’m now in a town where I can do a visa exemption extension.

My question is, because there are still 5 days before my visa exemption expires, if I do the extension now, will the extension begin from the Nov 30th expiry, OR will it start from the moment the visa officer validates the extension?

Big thanks 🙏😊

Visa exempt entry is not guaranteed. Especially now, playing the game and not being a “real tourist” can lead to you not being granted entry at immigration.

This leads to the recommendation to get a visa. Am I correct that a visa is also not a guarantee to entry. What would lead to entry not being granted at immigration if you had a visa?

Caveat: if you are a tourist with more than one trip annually, what is the difference for entry between visa exempt and SETV?

Advice please !! I have entered thailand twice already this year on visa exemption I am coming again in dec for 6 weeks. I am reading that now I will have to get a tourist visa if I come again. Is this true?? Also I am a lodger here in the uk so don't have utility bills in my name so how do I get a tourist visa if needed ? Thanks for any advice 🙏 also I do have my driving license which has my marital address on it still so a copy of that would be ok I guess.

Hi folks, does anyone here know if I can extend my visa exemption in Chiang Khan? Do they have a an office there that can handle this? Thanks! 🙏
