Is the visa-free travel policy for entering Thailand by land or air accurate for different nationalities?

@John *******

oh ok 🙏

@Rc ******

The two exempt entries per year doesn’t apply to Malaysians. The Thai border crossings at those points are well used to Malaysians crossing for a day or so to go shopping (or get fuel) or such.

No set number. I know several people who come here multiple times a year and have no issue on visa exempt entries. They’re like offshore workers or pilots who’s family live here and are rarely questioned because the time spent overseas versus the time they stay doesn’t raise any red flags for the immigration officer.

Quite a few posts have people saying a immigration officer has told them they can’t stay for more than 180 days in a year. That’s bullshit but a line some of them try to use.

That said there’s probably an equal number of posts from people that say they were stopped an questioned after /5 attempts as the officer suspected they may be working or something.

If entering wearing a business suit you probably would never be questioned. If entering with dreadlocks and a singlet you quite probably would be (made up speculations by me).

. Might pay to do some background research on your sponsor first. I've heard many stories of the "guaranteed work placement" not coming to fruition once study is finished. It's been used as a marketing tool for "schools" here to get quotas. Ask for proof and or examples. If they hedge, I would be wary. Same scheme has been used here for internships, which is unpaid work in the future.

Ok. Good luck.

I probably wouldn’t use that line if questioned at a border point.
