NON-O Visa Visa Regulations Thailand Immigration Border Crossing Visa Exemptions Extending Visa Stay

Oct 18, 2017

ORIGINAL POSTER

Hello, this is a question about the new regulation that you can have a border crossing twice in a calendar year. So far this year I am on a non-immigrant O. Early November my last 90 days are finished and so I would like to know if people have experience with land crossings after a proper visa. My plan is to cross the border at the end of the visa for another 30 days and do that twice, lifting me into 2018. 

Thanks.

TLDR : Answer Summary

The regulation allows for two land border crossings with a visa exempt entry in a calendar year. A user with a non-immigrant O visa plans to cross the border after their visa's expiration for an additional 30 days, which can be repeated. Recent comments confirm that land crossings can provide an additional 30 days without complications, along with the possibility of extending the stay for another 30 days at an immigration office for a fee.

Yep, you get two 30 day visa exempt entries by land in a calendar year.

Plus you can extend the 30 day visa exempt entry by another 30 days at the immigration office for 1900baht.
