With DTV visa -
Can I cross border to Malaysia and come back the same day to extend?
Can I cross border to Malaysia and come back the same day to extend?
Answer summary
Yes, you can do a same-day border run to Malaysia on a DTV visa, but this will result in a new entry stamp rather than an extension of your visa. While some users have successfully completed this by traveling independently, others recommend using a border run service for added safety. It's important to verify the latest immigration rules, as experiences and customs can vary, with some suggesting that customs may require an overnight stay outside Thailand.

I havent done it myself but know a group of 6 people that do this together every time they've reset. Out and back in same day. They make an adventure out of it. They never use agents lol. All these people trying to make money on people's ignorance is a sad business.

Yes you can, but you will get a new entry stamp, it's not an extension

No, I took a plan to Kuala Lumpur in the morning, arrived there walked up from arrival to departure and came back. 😀 that's it. They only asked at immigration what do I work? And this time I came back last week from a trip they asked nothing

@Marianna *******
Which specific border crossing did you use? Did you use a border-run service? Did immigration attempt to make you pay anything (as they do for visa exempt)? Thanks!Phuket *************************
Yes you can, but safely better only together with border run group for DTV, if you need more info we can provide schedules for DTV border runs.

it's funny how the people trying to make money always say you can't do something that you can, unless you pay for it. I'll make sure to tell people to avoid your school.Phuket *************************
Anonymous participant 907 please stay anonymous. If you’re absolutely sure about Thailand’s immigration rules, show us your real name.
Please study Thailand’s official immigration rules:
Self border run are not limited—but repeating same‑day exits and re‑entries may lead to increased scrutiny or refusal .
Same‑day border runs by land, e.g., sometimes incur a overcharge at the border and risk denial .
Some border crossings now require at least two nights abroad before re‑entry.
---
🔹 Conclusion: You can do border runs with companies or on your own. Same-day runs on your own are riskier and may incur extra overcharge fees. Thank you 😊

I'm anonymous because this is a public group. If it were set to private, I wouldn't be. You're just trying to make money off of people when there is no issue. So your opinion should be taken with a grain of salt. You'll say anything to make more money.

Have you guys done it? Because I was told by customs that you need to stay out for 1 day. Like you can't re-enter on the same calendar day as you leave
