How many times in a year can someone leave and reenter with a re-enter permit?

Hello, good morning.

I am a Spain national.

My travel history to Thailand is as follows:

First visit: from December 23, 2025 to January 9, 2026

Second visit: from February 7, 2026 to March 19, 2026

I would now like to enter Thailand again from May 1st 2026 and stay until mid-June 2026.

👉 Would this be allowed under the visa exemption rules, or could there be any issues with immigration due to the previous 2 entries within a short period of time?

Thank you very much for your help.

I all. Looking for some advice as I’ve been given conflicting information and quite frankly I’m confused.

I have been to Thailand for 2 visits of 10 days each in December and again in January.

I’m looking at returning again in April and then maybe 2 or 3 more times this year.

I’m being advised that I may be denied entry due to the high number of visits and may be better to apply for a tourist visa.

My questions - what are the risks of multiple visits if I have hotels and return flights booked - at what point am I at risk of refusal? And am I better to just bite the bullet and apply for a tourist visa?

Many thanks.

Hi guys i need advice about my plain

I plan to obtain a 60-day Thai tourist e-visa in advance, but use it only on my second entry.

Travel plan:

* Entry 1: Thailand – 30-day visa exemption

* Exit to the Philippines for 6 days

* Entry 2: Thailand – enter using the 60-day tourist e-visa

Questions:

1. Is this allowed, or could immigration question why I didn’t use the e-visa on the first entry? Can he say to me why i didn't came with proper visa?

2. Does Thai immigration automatically see the e-visa in their system, or do I simply present it when I want to use it?

I do not plan any additional trips to Thailand this year.

I have added up my days in Thailand over the past 180 and having entered four times I will be at 85 when I leave this week. I want to re enter in three weeks which would put me over the 90 in 180. Is this a consideration for the Immigration officers?

I won’t be back in the UK (my home country) to apply for a multiple entry visa . Any advice appreciated

Hi all.

Slight difficulty on my 3rd entry on the DTV (workcation, granted December 2024). I've stayed close to the full 6 months the previous 2 entries. Haven't had a flight booked out before.

Entry 1: Jan 2025 -> July 2025. No questions asked for the first entry. Tried to extend in July. Immigration officer said docs were perfect, but 12 days remaining validity wasn't enough time, needed to be 15 days or more in advance. He suggested I fly to KL and back on the same day.

Entry 2: July 2025 -> Dec 2025. Did as they suggested, and hardly a word said when I got the second stamp. Flew back home (South Africa) in Dec.

Entry 3: Jan 2026. Flew into Phuket after 3 weeks at home. Officer asked how long I'm here for, and I said until June when I'll book a flight out and back in. Probably shouldn't have said I'd come straight back, but that's what they suggested last time, so thought it was fine. She called the supervisor, was pulled over to the side and had to book a flight out right there and then... luckily just to any other country. Booked one way to KL, showed them confirmation on my phone, and then was stamped through.

Bit of a non-issue, as a flight out is a requirement for all tourism type visas I think. No mention of the 20k cash or 500k in the bank. Just wanted to share my experience and see if anyone has had anything similar?

Once stamped in, I asked if I could apply for the DTV extension in the country. The IO said that they could deny it if I've been staying "too long term". Was a bit confused - am I not using the visa as intended? I thought you could technically re-enter back to back every 6 months for the 5 year validity. Not planning on staying here for 5 years, but thought it was possible. Guessing I just ran into a stickler for the rules - will make sure I have a ticket out for future entries.

Hello everyone my question is I am coming to Thailand in April t June but I will be going to Japan in between I do have a return flight booked and I will be coming back to Thailand in December will I be able to do this under the new entry rules as it will be there times in one year thank you in advance for any help

My girlfriend and I flew in from Laos today to Don Mueang and she was flagged for multiple entries into Thailand. But they let her through. They made me show them that I had a booked flight back to America in January. We both made it through. But they are definitely screening people hard. I noticed other people being stopped and questioned. Just my first hand experience.

Did anyone enter Thailand recently for the third time in 2025 on a visa exemption ?

Thank you !

If I apply and get 3 months retirement visa in UK, travel to Thailand, open a bank account but don't apply for year retirement extension, leave Thailand before 90 days up. Can I return on sixty days visa exempt maybe couple of times a year?
