Can I leave Thailand and re-enter the same day?

Thai Visas are issued for single or multiple entries, usually for a period of thirty days to a year. In the case where a visa is issued for a single-entry, if you leave the country, you cannot re-enter, even if you have not exhausted the number of days you were given. This is where a Thailand Re-Entry Permit comes in.

If you have already overstayed, our advice is different depending on length of overstay. Overstay a week or two -> prepare the fine and leave by airport immediately. Overstay more than 90 days -> seek legal help immediately and do not put yourself in any situations where you might be detained by police.

In the past people could do infinite border runs (leaving by a land border and re-entering, getting a new visa exemption in the process) however as of January 1, 2018 you can only do 2 border runs per calendar year (any more and you will likely be denied).
