My best friend (British) is staying with me whilst I do my internship in Thailand 🥳. I know she can stay 60 days visa free and apply for a 30 day extension but how likely is she to get another 90days in Thailand? Can she just do a border run and go through the same process again? (60 day visa free entry+ another extension)
How likely would it be to get rejected (she’s never been in Thailand before ☺️)
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires about their British friend's ability to stay in Thailand beyond the initial 90 days, which comprises a 60-day visa-free entry followed by a 30-day extension, and if border runs are a viable option. Community comments suggest that she can perform a border bounce (exiting and re-entering the country) for another 60-day visa-free stay plus an extension. Recommendations for using visa-run agencies for convenience and to avoid complications at immigration are prevalent. However, there are warnings about potential scrutiny upon returning via air travel after border runs.
