What do I need for a border run with a DTV visa in Thailand?
Anyone has done border run with DTV? My 180 days will expire soon. What was needed? Only passport or more? Did they check proof of 500k?
Please share your experience.
Thanks!

Why don’t you search or scroll the group instead of asking a question that has been asked and answered lots of times.

Do you live near a land border? I’m curious as to why people choose land borders over airports.

Anonymous participant 419 proximity would make sense and yet, some people report spending hours in a van and paying twice the cost of a flight.

Nomad version of dtv. Flew out and back twice. Also one land border crossing. No questions for me but I've heard others have had questions when entering again.

You can extend this period by an additional 180 days, effectively allowing a continuous stay of nearly one year without leaving the country , cost 1,900 ฿ (no need to proof fund again)

OPZen Napapach proof of funds is a requirement if you do extension at immigration. I ask if its a requirement when I do border run.
Brandon ************
Zen Napapach Wrong. Proof of funds is a requirement for DTV extension at immigration office.

I've only seen one person say they were asked to show proof of funds when doing a border bounce

Scan the group a bit, there has been some who has been asked to provide more information (might be depending on where the visa was acquired). But normally you're only supposed to need what you entered on the first time: the visa printed out and your passport.
