Can a South Korean citizen renew their 90-day visa in Thailand by doing a border run to Myanmar?

@Ry**

just so we're clear, they don't have ANY visa, and you can't renew a visa even if they had one.

They showed up here without buying a visa from a thai consulate before hand and because they come from South Korea they were stamped in for free for 90 days on what's called a visa exempt entry.

In order to get a new 90 day visa exempt entry stamp they'd need to fly out and back in. Like

@Lu**

, said it's not WHERE they go that's important it's that they pick a place they can get into without having to buy a visa for that country to get stamped in and out.

I'd say have them fly to KL one morning and right back that afternoon, South Koreans don't need a visa to get in Malaysia and r/t tickets are pretty cheap.

The destination does not matter, whether it's the best option or not depends on where in Thailand you are should you want to get the cheapest flights.

PS: It only matters in the sense that some countries like Myanmar or Cambodia charge for visa on arrival, so that would be an added cost.

Well techically it should qualify on land borders, but because of corrupt land borders and corrupt IO's people that qualify for 90 day visa exempts are being hassled for tea money it seems. So in that context maybe flying out and in is advisable.

Yep, the OP is asking: If he goes out via a land border such as Myanmar and comes back does he get 90 days. I understand visa exempt permissions of stay derived from bilateral agreements are not extendable at local Immigration, so he gets 7 days to leave, but he was asking something else there.

By reading that the application for Extension of Stay is not approved and they got 7 days, I may assume that these people are inside Thailand and as you said they can not do the same day border run.
