Hello beautiful people,

I hope to get an answer from Tod. 

My tourist visa (multiple) expires on November 20. Should I do a 30 day extension in Jomtien and in December to do a visarun by land to Cambodia for another 60 days?

Thank you.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The user inquires about extending their multiple-entry tourist visa (METV) in Jomtien before doing a visa run to Cambodia for an additional 60 days. The response confirms that the plan is viable, advising to officially extend the visa for 30 days at a local immigration office and then perform a border bounce to a neighboring country, as Myanmar borders are not open to foreigners.

Good evening in Thailand.

YES your plan as outlined is fine.

You have entered Thailand with a multiple entry tourist visa METV.

STAMPED in for 60 days...on arrival.

Be sure to get the 30 days extension of stay available to you at the Thai immigration office near you...

Then do a BORDER BOUNCE...

NOT 🚫 a Visa Run...

To Cambodia, Laos or Malaysia.

Myanmar land borders are CLOSED to foreigners.

Your METV is valid until March 4, 2023...

Time your LAST departure and re-entry on or soon before that date to obtain a new 60 day STAMP which also can be extended for added 30 days at your local Thai immigration office.
