What are the current restrictions on doing border runs to stay longer in Thailand?

Yep , easier to just get correct Visa , are you here yet ?

The border crossings are closed, that is what is stopping you doing border runs.

Quarantine

Yes the borders are closed for one

If you have the money , fly to Mexico or Greece every month 🤣 no border rules there except being vaccinated I think, then come back to sandbox for 7 days all g

Nope... NO land borders are open... All are CLOSED

First you will have to figure out how to escape from your prison colony though

There are other visas you can get which are far more cost effective than doing visa runs on these days look into 1 year education visa

You are limited to the number of times you can enter Thailand per year on a tourist visa.

How long do you want to stay? There are many options other than the regular tourist visa. Most can be converted to inside Thailand.

Wait till next year hopefully things will improve

Why not make the right Visa could be a lot easyer🤔

Are you already in Thailand?

> me doing border runs so I can stay longer in Bangkok

Easy. The borders are closed.

Malaysia does not allow anyone in the country for any reason.

Myanmar is Myanmar.

Lao is not selling tourist visas or visas on arrival, only employment visas. The only people who are allowed in are either people with family in Lao, or people who are working on the high speed railway. It also requires 15 day quarantine.

Cambodia is not selling tourist visas or visas on arrival, only employment visas. The only people who are allowed in are people with family in Cambodia, or people who are employed or have business. They require 15 day quarantine, and require a 2K USD quarantine deposit (the balance returned to you, sometimes in 100 Riel notes).

IF you find a border country that lets you in, you will have to figure out some way to return to Thailand. There are reports of people with connections to Thailand from Laos who hired an ambulance, pick them up at the border, and take them to an hospital quarantine in Bangkok for a 10 day quarantine. The logistics were difficult, and took about a month to coordinate everything. I would imagine calling an ambulance from Bangkok to either Nong Khai or Mukdahon and back to be very expensive (20K THB or more?). I also imagine a hospital quarantine to be very expensive as well, and to have an IV drip in you throughout the stay (just in case you do have COVID-19).

Sounds fun? I doubt it.

Elite Visa

You could fly to Singapore but would then need to apply for another COE to re-enter Thailand and do the whole quarantine or sandbox again once you return. Major pain in the ass.

Where do you plan on going? Every country in SE Asia has entry restrictions due to Covid and some are closed outright.

Then when you return you will have to either go into 7 days quarantine or sandbox if vaccinated and 10 days quarantine if not. Hope you're ready for a lot of swabs up your nose if this is your plan.

No borders are open for border runs
