Hi Tod , I will have been in Oz for over a year by my return , and plan on getting a12 month type " O " visa based on being married to a Thai to return ..I understand I will have to do border runs every 3 months ...from Huahin my nearest would be Kanchanaburi, I heard it's a simple enough process there , but need to confirm my 3 border runs are allowed to be all " land crossings " ? Tks Tod
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user plans to obtain a 12-month Non-O visa based on marriage to a Thai national and asks if all border runs can be done through land crossings from Huahin. Commenters clarify that it's possible to obtain the visa easily but warn that the Phu Nam Ron border is currently closed. They note that as long as he has a valid visa, he can perform unlimited border bounces, and if he is over 50, he should consider applying for an extension of stay instead.
