Hey guys,
Iโm Dutch citizen and on covid visa extension for almost a year. My stamp is expiring on 7th of November but would like to stay here even longer.
What is the most secure method to do a border bounce? Apparently flying out by air is not an option ( too many covid extensions)
- Iโve read that the immigration at land borders are not that strict, is it true?
- Is the Nong Khai border the best option for me?
- Iโm not planning to apply for a tourist visa,
So can I just cross the border and immediately go back to Thailand?
- Is the visa exemption by land also for 45 days? I think before it was only 15 days
- And can I also extend it for 30 days?
Thank you in advance ๐
TLDR : Answer Summary
A Dutch citizen on a Covid visa extension, expiring soon, inquires about secure border bounce options. The community suggests that land borders are less strict compared to air travel, though results vary by location. The Nong Khai border is mentioned but may require traveling from other parts of Thailand. Direct re-entry into Thailand is generally possible at most borders, but certain locations have restrictions requiring an overnight stay. The current visa exemption allows for 45 days by land or air, with the possibility to extend for 30 days at an immigration office.
