You should be fine with your extension on your current exemption stamp (it really does depend on the immigration office though as some have their own rules). I’ve had pretty much the same pattern of travel and was given mine on this year, rolling into next.

As others have said. Do have an onward ticket out of Thailand to show IO when you’re re-entering, with accommodation booked, an itinerary, and POF. You will more then likely be allowed entry providing you have all of the above, but may be warned to get a visa next time. I’m in the same situation as I left the UK for Australia before the enforcement changed this year, so left me with difficulty in applying for a visa and I already had all my flights and accommodation booked.

Best of luck 🤞

You should be okay to get another extension as the end date of your exemption stamp will be in another calendar year. I was at the immigration office this morning. You’ll be fine on entry also 👌

She has no idea whether that would affect me or not

@John *********

That would make no sense. She advised me on what to do in every sense. Why then just make something up. I only asked her the rule, I didn’t put words in her mouth.

@John *********

the immigration officer told me today that it was per calendar year. I asked her twice.

@Michael ******

The METV will give you multiple entries over 6 months with 60 days stay each time, I know you don’t need that much time, but, it’s an approved visa so would be another bonus. I don’t think you will have any issues. You won’t have been over 150 days (the new rule).

I was at the immigration office earlier be specifically asked the IO if it was calendar year for the 150 days or 365 days, and she said calendar year.
