So, as I presumed, the rumors about it not being enforced are not true.

It will be enforced.

Probably everywhere, at all points.

William,

I think there are a good number of people that will just overstay

But,

My post was about the enforcement - letting people back in after leaving for the 3rd time.

I still can't undestand why it's so difficult to get a tourist visa if you don't have a non-imm.

Should ask Thai authorities this question.

You'd have to travel much further, tourist visas are not available at the border, and are difficult to get in neighbouring countries.

Tourist visas are simple to get in Malaysia or Singapore, and the trip is cheap now.

And this is by design.

The Thai Authorities want people with money that can afford it.


Marmite, I do agree that the trip to Singapore isn't that expensive.

I think the people that will have problems with this are the folks that just can't afford it.

It will definitely be enforced, but the new rules limit one to 90 days in Thailand in a 180 day period, not necessarily limited to three 30 day stamps. It's only if you are continuously in Thailand on 30 days stamps that you'll be in trouble.

For instance, if you leave 20 days before the 30 days are up you have accumulated only 10 days on that stamp. So if you come and go regularly (maybe for business purposes) and do not stay in Thailand for more than a total of 90 days in a 180 day period you should be OK in using the "30 day" stamps. The immigration people are counting the number of days, not the number of stamps.

Maybe you can emulate the sailor who had a wife in every port!

That stamp was from a land border crossing. I wonder if the situation at airport entry is more relaxed.

I don't believe it makes any difference whether you come in over a land border or whether you come in through Suvarnabhumi.

Does anybody have any actual experience here?

IMHO not a good idea! Depending on the situation you risk a 20,000 baht maximum fine, jail time and/or blacklisting.

Overstaying would put getting a visa at an embassy in some doubt. One of the questions asked at the KL consulate is "have you ever overstayed ?" Knowing the mindset 1 day overstay is probably as bad as 1 year.
