My 30-day visa-exempt status expires on Thursday 22nd September (having already been extended once at the Immigration Office on the 24th August). I was slightly late when extending the first time (due to illness) so had to pay a fine.
My two questions are:
(i) am I able to perform a ‘border run’ to Cambodia, get stamped out of Thailand and then walk back across the border on the same day to begin a fresh visa-exempt cycle?
(ii) will it be an issue for the immigration officers at the border post that I was slightly late in extending previously?
Thanks in advance.
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is inquiring whether they can conduct a border run to Cambodia to reset their 30-day visa-exempt status, given their current visa-exempt status expires soon and they had previously overstayed and paid a fine. They also want to know if their previous late extension will cause issues at the border. A comment suggests that doing a border run should not pose problems, especially if they choose the right crossing that allows same-day returns.
