TLDR : Answer Summary

The Mae Sot border is generally considered hassle-free for one-day visa runs if you meet the necessary requirements. However, it’s important to note that there is no Thai consulate at this border, so you cannot apply for a new visa on the spot.

Yes, based on the fact that you are not allowed to leave Thailand if you can not re-enter. Total hassle free if you can meet up the requirements to do the border run, totally hassle free if you can not do this border run and told to go somewhere else.

BTW there is NO Thai consulate on that border, you can not apply for a new visa with a one day service.

Thank you, and yes I’m not looking to get an SETV or any other visa but just a 30 day exempt (I’ve not had any of the 2 land border crossings yet) before I leave Thailand 👍🏼

I’m hoping Mae Sot will be fine then, from what I know its possible to get a day border pass into Myanmar? My Thai friend will also be with me.
