Have visa run agencies in Thailand stopped border runs for DTV holders?

@Marco **********

many people get rejected if they fly or cross border themselves. people who value their time want certainty and they will pay for it. thailand knows that

Anonymous participant 642 wait the thai immigration officers wouldnt let them leave? so presumably some of those people are now overstaying if they didnt give themselves a few days wiggle room?

Anonymous participant 642 Wow!

@Greg *******

my god just go on holiday a couple days by yourself and come back

It s not rocket science

Anonymous participant 122 to which border? Ranong did not accept any out-in since 2days. And Laos side as well.

Anonymous participant 940 there is a system. You either use it or you don't. There is no way to 'abuse' it. It's how the thai government designed it

Don't forget the cost of lodging in Singapore, which is very high...also, most of the time, you're paying 10,000 Baht plus for a round-trip flight from anywhere in Thailand to Singapore.

7000 bhatt where? sounds like it includes border fee for safe entry

Anonymous participant 102 Agreed. Even better, if you have your own car, cross the border (no questions asked then, because you have a car) and come back through a different border. Don't spend the full or near full 180 day entitlement (doing so once or on occasion is OK) but it's better if you're coming and going at least once every 90 days.

Again, this is just general advice; in theory, 1-2 night stays outside of Thailand between DTV stays in Thailand should be fine, even if you do spend the full 180 days here.

Are there any easy routes from the Gulf Islands?
