Hi, I am having to do an in/out border run to her the 30 days to give me time to her a non-imm visa sorted. I'm going from pattaya, just wondering if there is any borders I should avoid for this purpose? My closest border would be poi pet I think, so that would be ideal unless there is some past instances where they refused reentry. I have a lot of history of visas but mostly non-imm, I've only had 1 tourist visa from vtn in the past 2 years and no in/out border runs like this at all ever.

So I'm hoping it's unlikely to be a problem?

Answer summary

The user is planning an in/out border run from Pattaya to extend their stay while preparing for a non-immigrant visa. They are inquiring about potential borders to avoid. Community members suggest the Poi Pet border is generally undesirable without using a visa run company, citing issues with reentry and the need to stay overnight in Cambodia. Alternatives mentioned include the Ban Leam border to Cambodia and the border at Kanchanaburi to Myanmar, which are deemed safer and more efficient for this purpose.

AVOID the Aranyaprathet - Poi Pet border with Cambodia unless you're going with a visa run company from down there. They have the wheels greased at that border and their clients get across and back ok.

Other than that, you're fine.

OK interesting. I'll most likely end up going with a border run company so that could be best option. Thanks

Is anyone aware of any issues getting back in with a history like mine? Basically all non imm visas except 1 tourist a couple years ago now and no land crossings

Myanmar border in kanchaburi is your best bet

Ban Leam border to Cambodia is another (at least better than poi phet) choice from Pattaya. People would avoid Poi pet as much as possible.

In Poi Pet, you have to stay the night (Cambodia laws).

I suggest using the crossing at Kancahaburi to Htee Keep, Myanmar. They won't let you out unless they can let you in.
