ORIGINAL POSTER

Looking for advice please. I'm a Canadian passport holder. Been staying in Thailand sine July of this year. First 3 months on a TR visa, then did a border run to Singapore. Now as my entry stamp extension is coming to an end, I'm considering whether to do a land border run to Laos or getting a new TR visa in Laos or Cambodia and fly back in. Which option would minimize my chances of entry/visa refusal? Thanks!

DO NOT fly into Thailand.

Suggest you do Land BORDER BOUNCE into Laos and reenter using a commercial BORDER BOUNCE service company. Be sure to tell them your recent history of staying in Thailand and your passport nation.

Good Luck 🤞

You do not have an entry history that would raise too many flags when you come back

You have to decide on your own if you want to go to a thai consulate and buy a tourist visa or whether you want to just bounce out and back by air/land to get another visa exempt entry.

You know your options, pick one..

The group can't tell you what to do.

I'd say get ahold of a service and bounce out and back by land to get a 45 day visa exempt entry stamp
