ORIGINAL POSTER

Has anyone tried entering Thailand by land using the DTV visa? Is this method feasible? I'm about to reach six consecutive months of stay in Thailand and plan to do a visa run. I'm on the Digital Nomad Visa (DTV), and my first entry at Suvarnabhumi Airport six months ago went very smoothly.

I’ve done 2 boarder bounces. Zero problem.

Spent 20 mins in Myanmar and stamped back in with 180 days.

Just make sure you check the stamp and get 180 days.

I didn’t have time for a holiday so this was great for me.
