Hello!

We want to leave the country and come back to get another stamp. Is it mandatory to be outside for some exact amount of time? Or we can just go back on the next day?

P.S. We are on DTV visa!

Thank you.
Answer summary
For holders of a DTV visa, there is no specific mandatory duration required to be outside Thailand before returning for a stamp. While some land borders may have their own specific requirements that could necessitate a one or two-night stay in a neighboring country, generally, you can return the next day. It's advisable to use services that facilitate border crossings, as they can help ensure a hassle-free experience.

There is no amount of time you have to be out of the country

SOME land borders make you spend a night or two in the neighboring country before you can come back in to thailand but that's a border specific requirement

If you're bouncing by land use a service that takes people to the border and back in your area. Those services have it set up so their people can get out/back the same day without having any hassle

Flying in shouldn't be a problem,

just don't try it at the Aranyaprathet/Poipet border and you should be good, and take enough clothes/supplies so you can stay overnight if you have to

Even with a valid visa, some borders make you stay out overnight

also to my point above , it’s not about Thai immigration it’s about the Laos immigration they don’t want people going across just getting a stamp, plus it’s a good way to inject some money into the country ……

@Toni ******
it’s still a border bounce mate . Point being your at 180 days and need a new 180 day stamp . Call it what you want but that’s what it is.

Even people doing “visa runs” actually don’t even have visas, they are just renewing a visa exempt
