Hello,

I am currently in Thailand with my German passport, i.e. 30-day "visa".

My TR1 e-visa for 60 days has only now been confirmed (after I have already entered Thailand) and I can use it until September. I have now entered Thailand for the third time in 5 months. So now 90 days in total here.

Do I now have to do a boarder run and can I enter the country with the TR1 visa?

Thanks in advance๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ
Answer summary
The user is currently in Thailand on a 30-day entry without a visa, and has a TR1 e-visa confirmed for 60 days starting September. They are asking if they need to perform a border run and if they can enter Thailand using their TR1 visa. A commenter clarified that they need to exit and re-enter Thailand to activate the TR1 visa, as they currently do not have a valid visa. They also suggested extending the current 30-day stay for a fee.

Okay you're not here on any "visa" you showed up here with no visa and you got stamped in FREE for 30 days with just an entry stamp.

You can take a 30 day extension on the entry you're on now too for 1900baht at the immigration office where you stay

Print out the PDF file as it is your visa and show it to the officer at passport control when you stamp in. They will stamp you in TR60 for 60 days
