" I am married to a Thai national" . . . . . . πππππππ so Penny's keeper is not married to a "husband" but to a Thai wife . . it was a bit hard to figure πππ
RadiantQuince2508 . . . you won't have a problem as your behavious is that of a "real" tourist. . . . . just have the 3 proofs in case you get asked (onward-travel, 20,000 THB or equivalent in cash, booking of a few first nights) and the online TDAC completed
yes, rules that already existed before November 2025. . . . . . That's why there are no "new" rules π€£ π π€£ regardless of how many times you repeat this wrong information
What has changed, mandated from above, is the strict scrutinizing of your number of visa-exempt entries and the thorough check on "visa runners" (actually they meant to say "back-to-back border runners").
The new approach taken by border officials is intended to ensure that the option to do a "visa run" is not abused.
There are no new rules.
There only is a more strict approach regarding already existing rules.
*** There is no two-times limit on visa-exempt entries within a one-year period.
*** nothing "resets".
In case you have heard from out of the mouth of an Immigration officer such statements, this officer will soon learn that what he said isnβt true.
There are only two extensions possible on visa-exempt entries, within a one-year period.
The first extension will be issued for 30 days, the extension for a second visa-exempt entry will be issued for 7 days
You can theoretically do 4, 5 or even 6 visa exempt entries for short 2-3 weeks holidays, within a one-year period, if you never maximize each stay.
Of course, upon each entry, you should be able to proof your onward travel, a few nights of booked accomodation and proof of cash equivalent of 20,000 THB
