Thai tourist visa Visa extension Border run Visa rules Immigration advice UK expats in Thailand

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi, I have a friend from the UK and her tourist visa is about to expire in a few days. She already extended the visa once. I was wondering what is the possibility to stay in Thailand and get the stamp for another 30 days without renewing the visa? Can she do border bouncing or fly in-out and get back in Thailand on the same day?

Thank you very much for your advice!

TLDR : Answer Summary

A friend from the UK with an expiring tourist visa has the option to perform a 'border bounce' to obtain a new 60-day stamp. Many users suggest this method is feasible and recommend using reliable agencies for help. Experiences shared highlight the ease and efficiency of border runs, with agents available to assist for a fee.
