Visa Exemption - Two Entries to Thailand in One Month

Hello,

We’re French nationals planning a tourist trip to Asia with the following itinerary:

First entry into Thailand from Paris: 3 days in Bangkok (visa exemption).

Departure to Cambodia (we have a Cambodia e-visa) then to Laos (we have a Laos e-visa) for 5 days in each country, totaling 10 days outside Thailand.

Second entry into Thailand from Laos: 8 days in Chiang Mai (visa exemption) before returning to Paris.

This means two entries into Thailand in less than a month, with a total stay of 11 days in the country.

**Can you confirm if we can do this trip under the visa exemption policy, or do we need to apply for a double-entry tourist visa?**

Thanks for your help!

Isn’t this about two LAND entries? For over a year now, visa exemption has been for two months, not just one!

the visa exemption might go back to 30 days. 😕 but in crg23’s case, that’s more than enough

Thanks so much for your feedback! In this case, it won’t be land borders but air borders since we’ll be flying each time.

So, the question is about entering Thailand twice in less than a month and benefiting from the visa exemption both times for a few days. Is this allowed, and will it not be considered a "visa run"?

Thanks to everyone for your help!

Hi,

confirm if we can do this itinerary under the visa exemption scheme

In your case (return flight BKK-Paris within the allowed time), yes, you’ll be entitled to the Visa Exemption twice.

Aren’t these two LAND entries? For over a year now, visa exemption has been for two months, not just one!

Let’s try to provide clear information:

For over a year now, visa exemption has been for 60 DAYS, not 30 DAYS!

For over a year now, visa exemption for 60 DAYS and not 30 DAYS!

To make it even clearer, it should be specified that it's 60 days/59 nights (or 30 days/29 nights depending on the period) because it might not be obvious to everyone.

That said, it also depends on what time you land in Bangkok.

Back to the 60 days (your two months) July and August, December and January actually make 62 days!!!!!

(your two months)

These aren’t mine but Luke88’s.

(your two months)

Those aren’t mine, they’re Luke88’s.

But you added nights 59 AND 29. No worries

... and it's not more than a year but less than a year (for the 60 days). ... and it's not for all countries either. ... and all of this is listed on the embassy's website. ... etc.

The 60-day visa exemptions were introduced starting July 15, 2024
