@John ******

June 10 would be 180 days i think

What travel dates did you provide?

@Michael *******

note I did say *legal*. I'm aware people do it but they should keep it very quiet. All it takes is an unhappy local and you have problems

@Michael *******

as I said you don't really have options if you work inside Thailand for clients outside Thailand. Your only legal option is the DTV

@Farang ********

if you are married to a Thai that makes perfect sense as you are not really a tourist

@Alexander ******

there is no new rule. There is no defined limit for visa exemption entries. The immigration officer you will stand in front of will assess and decide. If you are worried get a visa

@Joe *****

take a look at some of the job sites that focus on teachers such as ajarn.com

@John ******

180 days I assume rather than 7 months, but I'm surprised you had that hassle with a DTV, just goes to show that even having a visa is no guarantee of being allowed to enter

@John ******

what sort of visa did you enter Thailand on or was it a visa exempt entry?

@Fred *****

you quote the guidelines given to immigration officers as to how to deal with persistent border bouncers. The rules do not define any limits for visa exempt entries, nor any limits for extensions other than the standard 30 days. So all one can do is take a view as to whether or not a visa is required, either that or wait and see what the immigration officer says when one stands in front of them
