Hi guys,

I've come to Thailand on a METV and I've already got a 60 day extension at the Mae Sai border crossing (in/out) + 30 day extension at the HH immigration office.

The enter before date on the visa is the 10 July.

Queston: Would it be possible to use the Ban Phu Nam Ron crossing into Burma (in/out) to get another 60 day extension, would I have any issues just going over and back on the same day?

I'm an Irish passport holder.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers :)

Answer summary

The user has entered Thailand on a METV and has already obtained extensions totaling 90 days. They are inquiring if crossing the Ban Phu Nam Ron into Burma for the same day would grant them another 60-day extension and if there would be any issues with this process.

Am I right in saying that there are no border passes @ Ban Phu Nam Ron? You'd require a valid Myanmar visa to cross at that point.

Thanks, I'll check out Ranong and hopefully that works out. 👍

Ranong is probably the nearest to Hua Hin- I believe you can get the boat to Myanmar from there and it is still open for visa runs.

I'm in Hua Hin at the moment, Ban Phu Nam Ron would have been the easiest option. Thx for the feedback.

Perhaps trying another border, or just heading to Laos would be a better decision.

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for the reply. I think you are correct in saying I'd require a valid Myanmar visa. I haven't found too much up to date information online about this crossing.
