But immigration will still question you when you arrive and ask you why you’re coming for 60 days 😅

So, if I understand correctly, there is NO limit to the number of times you can enter Thailand by AIR each year and you will be granted a 60 day stay on each arrival. Please Mark can you do another video to remove all the confusion that your last video has caused

Thanks for the update Trevor, the 60 + 30 days is excellent. Keep up the good work and glad to see you're still keeping fit.

Probably best to apply for a 60 day visa in home country (they may take note of this?) ..then hit up the nearest Thai customs to extend another 30 days. Three months is a good enough time for me to further check out possible retirement areas…….. and while there’s still good weather check out some neighbouring countries the next few months, Thereafter return (fly in) for another 60 day visa (this time on arrival) & extend for another 30 days! Sure wish they had this last year! Cheers

Hey Trever, Thanks for doing your best mate. You can never please all people all the time. Thanks again for your efforts 👌

If arrivals are still getting only 30 days then better to get mark to apply before you come to make shaw your getting the 60 days. Better than relying on boarder control to do the right thing.

I won't believe it until the stamp is on a page in my passport. How many times have we heard this.

The 60 days maybe not good for long term stayers because it's 60 days now they might be more hesitant to give multiple extensions , he mentioned also can be more strict.

Are you confusing border runs by land with arriving at the airport Which have always been different and still ia according to the Thai embassy

Ive been coming and going 5 times a yr via BKK . On 30 days . Plus extension once. Never been questioned. In 20 yrs.

Glad the comments cleared up the land versus air arrivals. The video left me scratching my ass wondering. Poor video reporting not clarifying that up front. Not sure I know the agent was talking about what he supposedly does to forget clarifying that major fact. 😮

Wow I just made it. Arriving in Bangkok in 24 hours. First time to Thailand, hope everything goes well. Planning on living in Pattaya. Currently been in Vietnam the last 2 months. Hope to see you soon.

Thanks for the update!!...given all the questions in the comments, you may need to do an update of the update 😂

Is the visa agent saying that the immigration desk staff at BBK airport will check bank statements / accomodation etc. on arrival from all entering from 93 countries now getting 60 days...? It would take forever.

I have my doubts that this will effect people who visit 5 or 6 times a year for short holidays. A lot of Koreans, Japanese, Chinese etc do it and a 2 entry limit would end that tourism overnight. This will have more to do with people staying close to the 180 days a year but dodging the new tax system.

Three reports I’ve seen already of people arriving this morning and getting 30 days. More bull with a capital ‘B’.

So confusing LOL. Ack it makes my head spin. So only two VISA exemptions but what exactly does that mean? So if I fly to Thailand in January on a 30 day VISA exemption and then fly again in May on 30 day VISA exemption, am I going to run into problems coming again this November on a 30 day VISA exemption?!?

It's bang on if ya only go once a year , staying 37 nights in December, so ded reyt for me .

Two border runs limits are only for people living in Thailand and not for someone like me, who only visits for 15 days and visits Thailand many times in a year? Am I right?

Thanks Trev, I contacted Mark about my situation and he got back to me quickly and had a good solution. Appreciate your posting this and all that you do. See you in September!

They were always strict before...nothing really changed..u couldn't get a 3rd entry for a while now in most cases..thanks for the latest update. U guys are great!:)

I am confused ?!? Does this mean that arrivals by air and border runs to Cambodia will be added up ??? As far as I know only "border runs" by land are limited to 2 per year.

Does the 2x entry per year apply to air border if staying less than 2 weeks per time , three times a year?

Congrats on the 100K

The way he explains it it looks like even arriving by air is the counted as one of your two per year

Great Guy mark is helps a lot cheers.

That border run on the 60 day visa may actually not worth it if your hoping to return to the country in the sme year

Totlally worried now😅 I have been to Thailand twice this year already and I am booked to return a third time in September, are you saying I can not come back in September as I have already had 2 entries this year ? Please clarify 😅 ps. My first 2 trips were for 16 days each.

Booked up 20nov till 18th Jan spending my bday Xmas and new years in pattaya 🎉🎉🎉

Thank you. Very helpful. I only plan to visit as a tourist, but very good to know for future.

I’m worried now as have been to Thailand twice already this year and have booked again for November. Does this mean that I will be refused entry for my 3rd visit?

Can confirm this at Sadao Border. Was told that cannot come in again at the land border. However can come in through air.

I will come in on a 60 day tourists visa. Then I want to try for a retirement visa. Is 60 days enough time to obtain a retirement visa?

What good is it going to do when flight prices are so expensive. And all these rules and regulations. Just do what Singapore and Malaysia do welcome tourists on a 90 days visa

60 DAY IN PATTAYA GOOD 👍🇹🇭❤️🇹🇭

Nice one Trev!I can’t get Accom and flight booked now for Winter!💪🙏🏻👍😎⛳️☀️🍺

That's good news and yeah maybe takes more time to clear immigration but if you have a few hotels booked then hopefully even if not for the full 60 days stay it would be enough to satisfy them. Just have to wait and see what the majority of visitors encounter over the few months afterwards.

I'm gonna get an METV, do 6 months then you reckon I'd be sweet doing 2 exemptions after that? Another good Video bigman 👍

Straight up advice from your guest, thank you. 😊

Hi Trev say a hello to mark for me great day is that for us Aussies at all.

Great update mate!

Nice for the long-term stayers. Absolute rubbish for the frequent Thailand visitors. I was 2 times in Thailand this year, combined 10 days, spent some good money in those days. My plan was to repeat this one more time, and that's now a no-go. Basically they send away the people who will spend the most money per day. I love Thailand, do't get me wrong, but visa-wise, I'm much better off in Cambodia. Just like the last time, I get my 6 month retirement visa. All I need is my passport, no documentation, pay the agent about 180 USD (plus the 42 for the E-type online) and done.

The person in this video kept saying "border run". That implies land border, not airport. Land borders have always had a limit of two re-entries. I think the person in this video is confused about that thinking it now applies to airports as well. Nobody else is saying that.

well allrighty then now your response from yesterday makes sense and woo hoo this makes life lots easier( for me any ways ) how ever i'm guessing there will also be people that won't be happy, ie. people that make more than 2 trips a year.

Sorry Mark when you mention 2 entries per year is that in a calendar year ie Jan 1st to Dec 31st? Thanks again for helping me gain my Thai Bank account.

Just emailed mark. He Says you can only enter Thailand 2 times a year even via airport under visa exemption.

Could I also confirm there has been no changes to the bi lateral agreements held with Brazil? My wife and kids hold this passport and this typically entitles them to 90 days on a visa exemption. Will this remain and with one boarder run for them they will be able to achieve the 180 days or will even this now be questioned?

not at all what I just saw at the Thailand Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 180 days 1st arrive, 180 day extention. And that for 5 years. Reapply. what you say is not right

Mark the best in the business

Now if they stop double taxation would be nice

So, if you get 60 days on arrival + 1 border run for another 60 days, back to back = your 2 exemptions for the year, correct? Although you can extend each of these for 30 days if done seperately, correct?

Great Heads up been twice this year already

Trevor, I see you as a good rolll model. Usually I am a picture of perfect behavior. However, I have a girlfriend who is half Thai & Half Thai. I lose it just looking at her when we meet. We dance and we laugh. Any suggestions you can provide would probably help, perhaps.

He mentioned a crackdown on proof of funds and proof of accommodation. Proof of funds for an entry with visa exemption??

Hi Trev, At last it arrived the 60 day stay for Visa basic.. That i love Next holiday 2025 i am happy Stay for 6 weeks..... Yessss. Greetz Marc

Thanks for the info

The hotels reservation, I usually book first 5 days to start off with..? Is that still okay

Seriously this doesn’t help at all

Proof of accommodation? Many don't book accommodation because they enjoy choosing on the go. How can a majority of tourists book 180 days? They are here to discover the country and freedom to travel.around in planned.

Hello - With the new 60 day visa exemption, could you comment on the following; I previously entered Thailand ( via air entry)on a 30 day visa exemption in January this year. I plan to have two further entries in September through November for holiday purposes (via air entry) Does the 2x60 day visa exemption per year rule apply? The Thai Embassy in Australia has advised by email that I will have to go to Evisa and apply for 3rd entry Very confused?

60 days of boom boom..great

Reality is the majority of people will never stay 60 days, let along 30, but the people who do its heavenly.

Has it been published in the Royal Gazette today? If not it won’t happen on time.

He mentioned boarder runs, are airports entries treated differently?

Not particularly helpful video. Going on about a maximum of 2 overland border runs,fine. But failing to clarify that you can also have 6 airport 30 days every year. Might panic a few people unnecessarily.

First time I came her the visa exemption stamp was 15 days,

Trev did I get this correct? If my family came over in May this year and we were given the 30 day on arrival visa, if we come again in September we can only get another 30 day on arrival visa or can we get the 60 day visa on arrival?

Is Visa on Areival same as visa exemption, is thw nimber of days spent in Thailand considered under voa, considered for visa exemption

Can you fly in and out from your own country as many times as you want during any year.

I dont remember you showing details of how to contact you for assistance with everything like extensions, visas and opening bank accounts.

Take your pick and have 1 a week for 12 weeks at home.Price of a flight ffs

Is this separate from the 2 week tourist visa, or just s it the new visa?

This guy has made it more confusing than ever. I'm completely lost now after watching this.

so getting to stay over 6 months more difficult so requires the year long stay visa meeting the banking requirements and bringing in money to live on will be taxed.

What if you have two passports (different nationalities)? You can effectively do this 4x?

Are you saying that if you attempted THREE BORDER RUNS in 2023 - - and got denied, then you can't get into Thailand in 2024?

When you say twice in a year - is that a calendar year or the last 365 days? I was there in March this year, and am looking to come back in November, for 90 days or so. Is that likely to be an issue?

I've just checked the thai embassy website and it says you can fly in 2 times a year visa exempt,then next time get a visa,but they very rarely check.

Hi… I have been Thailand for 2 weeks in March and plan on going again at some point this year while travelling around Australia and Asia … as I have flown out already this year can I start from scratch on a different passport as I have flown out this year on a British passport but I have a eu passport that I have never used in Thailand before … cheers

so if i arrive in say october will my passport be automatically stamped with 60 days or will you need to tell immigration at the desk or provide proof of return journey date ie flight and hotel , if not will they hust try and give you a 30

In relation to the proof of accommodation do you need proof for the full 60 days? I’m not sure where and when I will be staying in a certain area

30 days mate.

Do immigration class entry by air as a border run or it just land border runs that they are clamping down on?

That’s why you never overstay and get a red stamp in passport

So you can only come to Thailand twice a year? I come every 3 weeks for 5 nights on my days off work, can I still do this?

QUESTION; if I'm traveling the middle of January I haven't bought my airline ticket yet. What are the chances they will keep it as 60 days by January? I don't want to buy a plane ticket for 60 days and they change the rules back to 30 days.

I was there for a 14 days trip in April and on return to UK, booked 28 days arriving 28th August, prior to these changes. I have a return ticket booked. Am I able to simply stay for the additional days and just change my return date or do I have to inform immigration?

Morning lads… just thinking I’ve seen in your previous vids about getting a Thai licence and a Thai bank account on a tourist visa as long as at least 20 days remain? With the new visa exemption rules, can it be done on this 60 VE or does it require a ACTUAL visa ?

Just go to Vietnam and get 90 days without all the hastle 🤔

Thank you

I'm confused now. I only come for 3 weeks at a time so if I can now only visit twice per year, this new rule is terrible news

What about arriving at the airport?

Thanks for the info. I have two passports - Russia and USA. If I rotate them will I be able to take advantage of 4 x 60-day exemptions, two in each passports? Does an immigration officer have a way to see my other passport in the system (biometric data?) and find out I am essentially the same person?

Good news !!!!!

Hi mate, i have visited Thailand twice already flying in from the UK for three weeks each time. Is there a limit on the amount of times i come in like this on exemption please?

I told you this yesterday and you deleted my post

Am not talking about tje presemters here am talking about most on here that are ill adviced to give advice or just balgging it

Any ideas about Cambodia? Are they doing the same thing?

Why not just get a visa?

Why would you want to stay 60 days usually there’s no money left after 2 weeks if you’re having a great time with the girls 🎉
