Is it 2 land entry crossings per calendar yr or 2 per 12mths from your first arrival?

Hi,

 

Just to be clear, is the slate wiped clean each new calendar yr so if you've had 2 land crossings back per back leading up to 2024, then doing your next one in 2024 by land is allowed?

2 per calendar year.

Thank you.

I am not even sure this rule is still enforced. They used to write a 1 and 2 above your arrival stamp. When I entered at Pong Nam Rong last month, they didn't.

It is enforced. Even border run companies cannot circumvent that and simply won't take you on a trip if you did 2 land border entries this calendar year

   Probably all on computer these days and no need to write it in the passport

Of course not, it's more a reminder to not show up again at a land border when you see the number 2.

2 land border entries per calendar year is the only rule that is set on paper and actually enforced. All  the other made-up rules like 6 months in a year as a tourist or whatever are pure speculation.

It's not enforced for Lao, Cambodian or Burmese passport holders. Allowed to to a million border runs per year if they so wish to.

It's because there is no limitation on land border entries for them. Nothing to enforce. Same as for Russians. For the countries that have this limitation (most Western countries), it is enforced.

Here is the list of countries that have only 2 land border entries in a calendar year:

2 per calendar year but if you had 2 immediately prior to 2024, eyebrows will be raised.
