Will I have issues with visa exemption traveling to Thailand multiple times a year under new rules?

@Gregg ******

We’ll just have to wait until Monday. No one knows anything 100% for sure yet. The people who provided this information are well-informed, though. However, I hope you’re the one who’s right.

When do the new visa rules in Thailand actually take effect?

@Paul *******

Let’s wait and see until Monday, but the information regarding the situation at Lak Si yesterday was posted by one of the moderators on this page earlier today.

@Paul *******

Check feedback from people who did their extension at Lak Si in Bangkok yesterday. Those who had already done an extension earlier this year were given only 7 days, meaning they were stamped in for 30 days which was then crossed out, and ‘7 days’ was written in pen. (So not the usual ‘7-day extension denied’ stamp.)

@Dylan-Jye **********

So you know this already. What has now emerged is that visa-exempt entries are limited to two per calendar year, regardless of whether you enter by land or by air, and that only visa-exempt entries received at an airport allow for an extension, 30 days for the first and then 7 days for the second.

... and people only get 7 days on their second entry.

As things look now, you should be prepared to apply for a visa before you travel, since visa-exempt entries appear to be limited to two per year.

Can a Honduran citizen obtain an emergency visa to travel to Thailand over the weekend?

Jan ******************

Unfortunately, with a Honduran passport she is not eligible for visa-exemption or visa-on-arrival. She will be denied entry and sent back from the airport in Bangkok, and she will likely not even be allowed to board a flight from India to Thailand without a visa.

What is the seasoning period for a 400,000 baht deposit when renewing a Non-Immigrant O visa based on marriage to a Thai national?

@Wayne ******

Some immigration offices also have different requirements - two months for the first extension and three months for subsequent extensions.

You can use the combination method for your second year, but has to be 800K baht the first year, unless you’ve got a affidavit letter from your embassy.
