Can I return to Phuket on the same day after a quick trip to Singapore?

Dec 29, 2025

a day ago

I'm currently on a DTV and have been in Phuket since July. I'll be exiting next month, close to the 180 days I am allowed to stay here.

I am planning to fly to Singapore and I am wondering if it is necessary to stay a night before I return, or I can catch a flight on the same day back to Phuket.

Any advice is appreciated.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The original poster is currently in Phuket on a DTV visa and is planning a trip to Singapore. They want to know if they can return to Phuket on the same day after flying out. Responses from the community indicate that it is possible to fly out and return the same day, but some suggest that doing so may lead to additional questions from immigration officials. Others recommend spending more time in Singapore to avoid complications and enjoy the experience.

I did this returning to Phuket. Immigration did get a little bit testy. Asking more questions than they normally would. Spend a few days out there. What I have learnt is what the rules say vs what is enforced varies.

Singapore is pleasant for a couple of days. It's an easy place to get around, food is good, worth staying.

What's the hurry? Never understood why anyone would want to fly back so soon.

In my case, it’s because I hardly had any vacation days left with my employer, and in the hotel (outside of Thailand) my remote-working setup isn’t available to me.

No. I spent two nights in Malaysia over the weekend. But nothing more than that.

No need, but less questions that may be asked if your doing a weekend vacation or similar.
