Looking to do a visa run from Chiang Mai to Mae Sai/Tachileik before my current visa expires (2 Aug.).

Some background info:

- Arrived to Thailand Sep 2017 w/ 6 month ME TR visa.

- After that expired i did visa run to Mae Sai and recieved 30 days which i extended at immigration for another 30 days.

- After that i did visa run to KL Malaysia and got 60 day SE TR visa which i also extended 30 days (expires 2 Aug.)

If i recieve 30 days upon reentry i am planning to return to Australia after that expires, where i will apply for 60 day SE TR visa, because i dont have enough money in the bank to meet requirements of the 6 mth ME TR visa.

Will there be any complications? Or does anybody have any advice?

Thx in advance 😃

2 per calendar year for Exempt entries. Does not count if it's for a multi-entry visa and the clock is reset Jan 1.

Yo. Justin just go Laos to Vientiane. 1500 for Laos visa and 1,000 for Thai visa. Save your money instead of a flight back home
