I would assume that you will eventually be caught out misusing two passports, when they take your fingerprints at the borders.

A red flag will come up. And in the worst case, you can not only be refused entry, but also could get banned for a couple of years. So better BEWARE of your actions!

And what’s left to say about that little phrase “unlimited visa-exempt entries” ?

The phrase „unlimited visa-exempt entries by air” never held what it promised.

In the past, at a certain point, let’s say on the third attempt of doing a consecutive visa-exempt entry, on all airports you got pulled aside and questioned about your true intentions.

And you got warned that this would be the last time they allow you to enter without a visa that fits your purpose.

So pray tell, why would it have changed to “unlimited 60-days visa-exempt entries”? Based on only ONE report of a Filipino traveller about what he experienced at a Laos land border?

Why would now begin to think, that the phrase “unlimited” actually means unlimited entries by air and by land?

Each entry is still granted upon discretion of the Immigration officer at the border.

If an Immigration officer decides that you have stressed the visa-exempt entry long enough and “misused” it for achieving a longstay, there goes your “unlimited” down shit creek

I don’t want to put Tod Daniels’ assumptions onto a gold scale, but if you ask me, time will tell that your “unlimited entries” can indeed reach a final stage

there used to be a "Benjamin" in the Visa Advice group, who couldn't tell push from shove. I criticized his visa advice on many occasions, because they were plainly wrong. I always wondered why a group, lead by a moderator like Tod Daniels Visa Guru, would allow a bloody rookie on the team. NOTE: I won't use the more familar term "from Sh.. to Shove" because I don't want to get banned from this group for indecent language. . . . . . Well but some FB groups are like a bar in a backwater town of Texas. If you say anything against a local, no matter if rightful or not - you get sacked, knacked and outbacked

I guess it was Robert who kicked you from the group. I won't tell you about my experience with him, here in the public, though

single entry and multi entry Tourist Visa are alive and kicking. They haven't been discontinued. Just because citizen of 93 countries can now enter visa-exempt for 60 days, doesn't mean the Tourist Visa classes have been discontinued.

@James ********

how true

@Lou *******

whilst I would be confident that you will receive a second 60 days visa-exempt stay permit after you have stayed outside of Thailand for 4 weeks, I would . . we still NOT say that anyone is allowed to do back-to-back visa-exempt entries. Most of all, we still have to see if you can get in for a second consecutive or not, 60-days visa exempt entry, after having exhausted a 60 days stay plus a 30 days extension . . . . we still cannot tell

BDAE or APRIL

if you apply for the change from the visa-exempt to the 90-days Non-Imm-O retirement visa in Jomtien, you don't need to prove the money came from abroad on the Jomtien Immigration office. However they will need a bank statement that the money has been seasoned for a minimum of two months (get a 3-months statement for your safety)

well, ok, this is a government site. So this is widespread confusion, the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. And we all know, what they published did not happen, yet. And will most probably never happen 😎
