What are the current options for visa runs in Thailand during Covid, and can I get an extension on my multiple entry visa?

If you indeed have a 6 month Multi-Entry Tourist Visa it's the bouncing out and back that make that a tough visa to use (since the covid shit show closed most of the nearby countries and all the land borders of thailand)

I DO know people who flew out and back to Cambodia, BUT you need to meet the entry requirements to get IN to Cambodia (and by an eVisa online before you go) as well as meet the entry requirements to get back in to Thailand (appproved thai pass, 50K USD covid insurance, booked test&go, sandbox or AQ, negative RT-PCR test etc.

It is not an easy endeavor using that visa effectively at this time. NOW if the borders open up as they are expecting (March some time) it won't be so bad but let's see what happens

Visa runs aren't available as all the land borders are currently closed. But if you go to your local Thai immigration office you should be able to get (one) 30 day extension to your initial 60 days stamp without leaving the country. You can then review the situation in April

1. This is not a travel advice group. If you want to border bounce (BY AIR ONLY), please visit this website:



OR find a Facebook group in the group of the country you want to visit.

2. You can get ONE 30 day extension of stay based on tourism. You will need the following documents:

1. The applicant’s passport and a copy of:

a. The data “picture” page.

b. The most recent visa (if applicable).

c. All entry stamps or extension of stay (if applicable) since arrival.

d. The departure card (“TM 6”) that should be stapled in the passport.

2. The extension of stay application form (“TM 7”).

3. A copy of the submitted Notification of Residence of Foreigners form ("TM 30”).

4. 2x passport sized (4cm by 6cm) photos.

5. 1,900 THB processing fee.

3. You *MAY BE ABLE* to get a 60 day extension of stay based on unable to travel due to COVID-19 at the local immigration office after your 30 day extension of stay based on tourism . This is an optional extension of stay however. See my "pinned" post for more information/ detailed instructions.
