ORIGINAL POSTER

This might have been asked before but i searched and could not find the answer. 

If I apply for DTV e-visa in my country, still waiting for answer but my flight is coming up. 

Is it ok to enter on the 60days exempt and then do a visa run after 60days re-entering with DTV? 

and can it be at a border or do I need to fly out and back?

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user is inquiring whether they can enter Thailand using the 60-day visa exemption while awaiting approval for a DTV e-visa, and if it's possible to make a visa run after the 60 days, particularly regarding the method of re-entry (crossing a land border vs. flying out and back). Comments from other users suggest waiting for the visa approval before entering, as entering on a 60-day exemption could risk cancellation of the visa application.

Luit *****************

Normally you should wait till it is approved, that is why the advice is not to buy flight tickets before the visa is arranged.

There is a small risk your visa application is cancelled when you are not in the country you applied anymore.

Can I apply for the DTV visa online after a short stay in Cambodia and then return to Thailand on a 60-day visa exemption?

What should I do if my DTV gets approved while I'm already in Thailand?
