Hi guys

I have a multiple entry tourist visa and I soon need to make a border run to extend.

My question is? Will a land border crossing give me the maximum 60 days extension? Or do I have to take a flight? 

Thanks in advance!

Answer summary

A multiple entry tourist visa (METV) allows you to make a border run at land crossings or by flight to obtain a new 60-day stay in Thailand before the Enter Before Date. Users have confirmed that land border crossings, like the one at Mai Sai, work without any issues for extending the visa.

I did all of my 60 day bounces at the land border at Mai Sai on my METV. No issues.

The Mae Sai - Tachiliek border is an easy one to bounce at

, IF you're up in that neck of the woods.

It's a little far to go just to border bounce from Bangkok or places in the south ;)

If you have the Multiple Entry Tourist Visa and you are still before the Enter Before Date you will get a NEW 60 day Admitted to Stay period, this can be done at border crossings or by flight.
