Steve Greir

Steve Greir are you retarded? Sorry. But you just have to look at the official thai embassy websites. It was implemented in 2016 ans still remains. You are so annoying :) its tiy spreading misinformation. I can say tbis. I choose to believe the thai embassies and what the thai government stipulates any day of the year. Unbelievable.

Laugh away Steve. No worries.

Steve Greir that is completely untrue as of 2026 the 2ventry via land borders isv100% correct. It is onlybwhen flying into thailand thst there is no official rule though immigration may still use their discretion.

Regarding land borders crossings there are those who do more than twice bu paying agencies to do border runs.

I'm not talking about what may or may not be possible purely through discretion alone.

As of 2026 it is extremely clear and a regulation that only 2 border crossings per calendar year.

This has nothing to do per say that immigration ate cracking down on border entries. They are simply enforcing a law that has already been in existence for quite some time. It is a mandate from the the thai government and the caretaker PM Anutin.

What I'm surprised about with all due respect is that this isva visa group and for admins and or moderators to not be aware of this seems very odd.

Currently there are numerous posts by the thai government themselves and the media etc etc

.

I hope you read this comment well in that I mean no disrespect. But its not based on my opinion or feeling or what I would or not like.

Its currently the law.

Hi John. That is actually partially incorrect info for 2026. Whilst their may be no official limit travelling into thailand by air, there is now absolutely a 2 time per year regulation when entering Thailand byany of its land borders.

John Massey hmm. That's why he uses the word 'average' :)

His English may not be clear. What he might nesb is even tbkugh he has had a company since 2019 he doesn't mean he has not had a b visa up until now. He may well be on a visa b visa or otherwise that he was able to get a work permit. All he coukd be asking is as he is in Vientiane how can get a b visa there. Its unlikely, but if he is in an o visa he might want to change it to a b visa. Etc.

Lavender Smiles You don't necessarily need a b visa to obtain a work permit. Can be an o visa, smart visa, ltr visa, and also an ib visa (investment) though n most cases the work permit ends on the same date as the visa, the smart visa and ib visa allow much more flexibility.

PS. I have no idea which type visa the poster has though.

Jeremy Miller obtaining thai citizenship whilst not impossible is incredibly difficult. The PR is easier but again the threshold, criteria is also very difficult. PR requirements mean earning a lot of money annually and many small companies can only dream of earning the required amount. Also the thai language component. This is not the type of thai is sufficient that you can order a beer or coffee and say sabai sabai. The level of thai language expected is at a level of a 16 year old native thai born. Plus there other challenging criteria. All achievable but agsin the bar is set very high.

It thai citizenship? Forget about it.

Sebastian Barrow yes and no perhaps? Because if applying for a an o retirement visa from outside of thailsnd then insurance becomes mandatory.
