I talked with the Thai Consulate in Frankfurt and with the Thai Embassy in Berlin, just to avoid running into trouble at immigration next time, because I visit Thailand quite often, and have to enter the country three more times in the coming months. The stated info was given to me by official entities of the Kingdom, the only sources one can ask and refer to while outside Thailand. It is beyond me to understand why a discussion about the statements of Thai officials and related questions from embassies and consulates are not allowed to post, and seen as unfactual.

FYI, I just had a phone call with the Thai Embassy in Berlin now. (My talk last week was with the Thai Consulate in Frankurt.) The lady in the Embassy did not say anything about a limitation to two entries per year. However, she said that more than 90 days in the country within a total of 6 months might cause problems at immigration. I was in Thailand in October 21, March 22, July 22, each time around 3 to 4 weeks. And I will again come to Thailand end of September, and the one more time mid of November. Then, in January 2023, I will start to work for a Thai company in Thailand on a Non-Immigrant B (Employment) visa, and move in Thailand.

A few days ago I had a phone call with the Thai Consulate in Frankurt. The lady told me that now they got an informal note that even when arriving via airplane it is not allowed to enter Thailand more than two times per calendar year on visa exempt, and a visa is needed for more entries. Without visa, it might be that the immigration officer denies entry. Has anyone heard about that?

I am in a little bit similar situation: - Will come for holiday on visa exempt, for 3 weeks end of September. - then I will come for business beginning of November, for around 4 to 5 weeks - and then I possibly will start working in Thailand for a Thai company beginning of January 2023 As I will need a business visa for employment next year, I wonder when it is the best to start that visa, and which visa to choose for my November trip (if this one at all with visa. Second question: is it possible to have overlapping visa? Lets say a business visa for November, and a new business visa for employment from January on, while the first one still valid?
