ORIGINAL POSTERQuick question: My husband American husband has the non o multiple for 1 year. He has to leave country every 90 days. Is the border open ie Mea sai in Chiang rai where he can be in and out and get stamp another 90 days.
Are there any requirements before entering Myanmar? Covid test result? Visa to enter Myanmar?
Or which border is quick and easy for American to be in and out without many requirements. How about Vitetiaen Via Udonthani? Is it good option?
Thank you very much ☺️

Do you mean he has to leave as he's own choice or has to leave because of the visa ?

Fly to Singapore or KL, turn around and fly back same day. Its allowed as long as you go through passport control there. Most people don't need a visa for Sg or KL.

If on a Non o visa not sure why he has to leave ????

. Non o multi visa you have no choice but to leave and re enter every 90 days. Been there and done it.Terary **********
@Steven **************
What is the point of non-o, that requires you to leave?Steven ***************
@Terary *********
. Also you can get a year in Thailand with far less financial requirements. I only needed equivalent of 100k baht in my home country Bank to get one at the time.Steven ***************
@Terary *********
. Most people don't use them. They get a single entry 90 day one and then convert to a yearly extension. It's just an option. Not many consulates offer them anymore.
