Can I get a 60-day stamp when re-entering Thailand by land on a DTV visa?
Any reason not to be able to get my stamp at Malaysian land border when re-entering on DTV? First renewal. Thanks for any helpful answers 🙂
Answer summary
The post discusses concerns about obtaining a 60-day visa exemption stamp when re-entering Thailand from Malaysia on a DTV visa for the first time. Many commenters affirm that re-entering by land typically allows for a 60-day stamp, although they note that certain conditions may apply based on previous entry history and the discretion of immigration officials. There are clarifications on common misconceptions about visa durations and the requirement for vehicle documentation when crossing borders with a car.

Yes you can, 2 times each year. And yes you will get 60 days. People don't check their facts.

no, land crossing are only 15 days, leaving the country means you have forfeited the remaining days on your current stay,

Most has been said. Most difficult is probably the car, check with AI about non-thai license plate sticker and insurance.
The only immigration thing is that they might ask you to spend two nights in Malaysia before you return.

Seth Taylor What a nonsense, 15 days for entering Thai overland.
The only place where 15 days appiles is a visa on arrival (it has to be paid for at the airport), for passport holders from the countries not eligible for 60 days visa exception. Like Russia, Serbia and all other countries not on the visa exemption list. 93 countries are eligible for 60 days visa exemption.

should you re-enter by land, you will only get a 15-day stamp
Brandon ************
@Seth *******
no. It'll just go back to 30 days. There's not going to be different entry methods.Seth ********
@Brandon ***********
cool thanks man... i wonder if this will change back to 15days when the 60 day entry visa stops and goes back to 30 daysBrandon ************
@Seth *******
yes. 100% wrong. There's no such thing as a 15 day entry stamp for visa exempt and there's no difference to how many days you get at a land border vs air entry. There hasn't been a difference for MANY yearsSeth ********
@Brandon ***********
so am i wrongBrandon ************
@Seth *******
this is literally the worst website on the internet to use for anything Thailand related. It's from an agency that doesn't update their information, ever. This hasn't applied for a decade.David **********
Seth Taylor but I will get another 15 yes?
Brandon ************
@David *********
you will not get 15 days. You'll get 60 days visa exempt. You could just go to your immigration office and apply for a 30 day extension. Some borders aren't keen on letting people in and out and might make you spend a few nights in the other country, or tell you that you'll have to fly back into Bangkok if you want to leave.Seth ********
David Robinson yeah you should do no problem.
David **********
Seth Taylor thanks

I thought that you can't get 60 days at land borders
Martyn *********
You could always do a Myanmar flip down south

Only 30 days when arriving by land easier cross border fly back
Ralph *******
Martyn Goddard No. Still 60 days by land.
Mike *******
Pretty sure 60 days is the only for flights into Thailand. Not over land.
Abey ******
How does people afford 150 or 90 days holidays. I have close to six figure income and could never afford 90 days of holidays in the next hundred years.

Abey Abey it's called retirement. A lot of us retired a long time ago and can go anywhere we like and as long as we like.
Mike *******
Abey Abey really?????
David **********
Abey Abey Its less than 100 bucks a day in Thailand food and accommodation included and we stay in nice resorts
Andrew ********
The car is more of a concern than you obtaining another except on arrival
Russ **********
... and don't forget all the cars paperwork to show your ownership... Rentals won't get over the border...
Bob **********
Do you own the vehicle??
David **********
Bob D'Andrea registered in a Thai friends name
Bob **********
David Robinson they’ll need a vehicle passport
Peter ********
And insurance
Martyn *********
David Robinson car needs blue book for car to cross borders
Phil ******
David Robinson one question do you have a Thai license or an IDP?
David **********
Phil Beer IDP
Paul *******
David Robinson It's my understanding you need a vehicle passport to take the car, friends have done it on motocycles. Takes a bit time to arrange, sorry don't know all the details for apply.
John **********
That's entirely going to depend on your history inside Thailand over the last 12 to 18 months and how the immigration officer you will stand in front of views that history.

@John *********
I recall the cowboy town IOs as friendlier than the Sadao bunch.... a much more interesting drive too, down the old highway via Alor Setar and Kedah Peaks
Graeme ******
I assume you entered on the 60 day visa exempt stamp. You should be ok to leave and return and get another 60 days as long as you dont have a history of previous border bounces with lots of visa exempt entries recently. Also at present it is still 60 days visa exempt and hasn't yet changed to 30 days
Mauro ****************
Yes i did so, i go over to Lao for one auer then i had 60 nwy days.
