What are the best and cheapest ways to extend a DTV in Thailand without flying out?

Fly to Yangon (Myanmar) for a long weekend. Direct flights from DMK!

Vietnam 🇻🇳

1st Class Visa Run, <- The Queen Victoria Inn (Soi 6)

Best cheapest way to extend DTV without fly out is to extend at local immigration first then do border run.

For DTV you can get extension for six months at immigration office for one thousand nine hundred baht before your current one eighty days end. This way you can stay almost one year with one entry. After that you need to do border bounce to get new one eighty days. Border run is cheaper than fly out and still counts as new entry for DTV.

In Pattaya many use Cambodia border run services like Poipet or Ban Laem. They pick up early morning and return same day. Look for services in Pattaya Facebook groups or near Soi Buakhao agencies with good reviews and license. Make sure they know DTV rules and give you re entry time. Avoid very cheap vans with no paperwork.

For full list of Pattaya border run contacts and how to extend DTV at Jomtien immigration you can read Unlock Thailand by Isla Rey on Amazon. It has price guide and what to bring to avoid extra fees.

Probably a bus/train (or hitchhike :D) to a border city and walk across the border... DIY

Hitchhike to Chong Mek

If your reason for visa is legit then nothing to worry about, you still have to deal with immigration at land borders and it looks more suspicious that you’re doing border runs since technically it’s not a visa for residence.

Cheapest? Sounds like you can’t afford to live in Thailand if you’re pinching pennies.

Get a bus into Bangkok then get a 2nd class sleeper upto Nong Khai /Laos border.

I have flown and out more than five times and back never an issue . I have done land border crossings with my motorcycle no issue . Just fly in and out because the head of a real

Extension would be a bigger headache

Did several times in Phuket

Fly to KL round trip 2500baht

Never had an issue

Don’t listen to bad news spreading

Im convinced you’re dumb af

Vietnam for the day

Cheapest? Walk

It's literally cheaper and faster to fly to any nearby city and back, than to pay an agent 7000+ to sit in a van for 12 hours.

But it's way better to spend 2-3 days somewhere and make it a mini-vacation instead of a visa run.

We services 7500 THB. From Pattaya - Loas every Monday Wednesday and Friday

Depending on where you live , either a bus trip to Lao or Malaysia.

Since the borders with Cambodia are closed the only reasonable way is getting into Laos via bkk
