ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello I am looking for advice. I am 19 yetas old from germany. I came to thailand on 14th november 2024, got the 60days stamp and the 30 day extension. Then on 9th february i took a flight to vietnam and stayed until 18th february. On 18th february i took a flight to bangkok and got another 60days stamp. After that i can extend for 30more days. My question is can i do the same process one more time, i mean go out the country and come back in for another 60days. Because i want to stay until july before my uni start in Germany. And if it is not possible to do another visa run, do i have any other options to stay for a few more month?

TLDR : Answer Summary

A 19-year-old expat from Germany inquired about extending their stay in Thailand after utilizing a 60-day tourist visa and extending it by 30 days. The individual is considering making a visa run to Vietnam for another entry into Thailand. Community responses highlighted the increasing strictness of immigration regulations, warning that repeated visa runs might lead to denial of entry. They recommended using a border run agency for assistance to avoid complications, emphasizing the importance of having a plane ticket and hotel reservation. Opinions varied, with some suggesting that transit by air is generally safer than land crossings.

I've been harassed & booted out of Thailand once . Happened just before the new visa rules came into effect. Reasons I was detained ( unlawfully if you ask me ) I done two land border runs & flew back to thailand short break from Malaysia. I turned 50 around the same time & my intentions was to get retirement visa but Don muang said I'm doin what the Chinese do 🤔....really? I'm not part of any gang . I'm not running any kind of business in Thailand. Neither breaking any laws .... So after being detained over night I travelled indonesia. I needed new passport due to pages ran out ( immigration Don muang stamped not to be allowed back in Thailand 😂) Flew back to thailand. Talked my way past immigration & did precisely what I should of done sooner got my retirement visa ...3 days before the new visa rules changed .... immigration can be Assoles ( & yes corrupt ) ... so don't be surprised if immigration & customs 🛃 grill u ...just know your rights

2 border runs and few 30 days extensions? Or just border (land) runs

I read a lot about the 30 days extension being a trigger for the Thai immigration.

Good luck. Probably depends on the IO. They are cracking down border jumps . That’s why it getting back to 30 days from the 60 that was just put in place a couple of months ago. Get the correct visa if you want to stay long term
