I type slow - your answer is below

Flying in to get a 30 day Exemption Entry is not officially limited but several back to back fly in entries will likely get you pulled aside and questioned or denied at some point

Entries across land borders to get a 30 day Exemption (in lieu of a visa) are limited to 2 per calendar year

There is no actual rule about number of visas (tourist visas) but several back to back can get you taken aside for questioning and even entry denial

I suggest contacting the Consulate directly

I have two friends who went to Bali to get a B Visa fairly recently - they could not. Not available.

Daniel, where are you located in Thailand?. Or where will you be located in Thailand?

It's a Typo - a simple mistake typing on these tiny phones

The 'Retirement Visa' obtained in one's Home country at a Thai Embassy or Consulate is a Non Immigrant O-A Visa (notice the 'A'), 800,000 Equivalent Thai Baht in your Home Country's currancy in your Home Country Bank.. be age 50 or over, plus a Criminal Background Check - plus a Medical Certificate both obtained in your Home Country. It has nothing to do with being in Thailand at the time.. Nor does it have anything to do with having money in a Thai bank at the time of application

Plan for 28-29 -30 days -
