I re-entered on the Visa Exemption after 55 days then 30 day's in the Philippines and the Immigration officer said Careful Careful 150 day's in a year. Due to an horrendous Queue behind me I didn't discuss it with her. As I was within the rules and guidelines for the visa exemption.

I posted but admins won’t approve it. A very reputable visa agent in Pattaya has told me I can do as many 6 month border runs to the Laos border with the DTV Visa as I like with zero hassle for 9000 baht. Does this sound legit? I thought I would have to fly somewhere

Anonymous participant 908 You can do it for less than 9k, DIY. You can find several posts from DTVERS who have done multiple Laos border hops with no probs

thanks Andi 🙏 I’ll gladly pay 9000 baht for everything included by a visa agent from Pattaya to the border. When I have done it a few times then I will try myself thanks 🙏
