Hello every one,
I have got DTV visa since December 2024 and stay at Chiangmai over 5 months already. I have to extend/ renew another 180 days to stay at Thailand and I consider to go Tachileik which I have to cross border line to Myanmar and re-enter. So is there any one has experience for it and Thailand immigration at Tachileik border has capacity to extend visa for another 180 days by stamp in there? Would you please kindly advise?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The DTV visa holder in Chiang Mai is inquiring about extending their visa by re-entering Thailand through the Tachileik border with Myanmar. Several comments clarify that the land border to Myanmar is currently closed to foreigners, rendering a border crossing there impossible. Alternatives mentioned include crossing to Laos instead, which is feasible for a border bounce, but it's noted that such a crossing will not provide another full 180-day extension, only a new stamp for the existing visa. Using a border run service is also recommended to ensure a same-day return process.
