What should I prepare for my first border bounce at Ranong with an Australian METV?

@Tod ********

Yes, it's my bad. I didn't know anything about it before.

@Thae **********

, ahhh, and they wouldn't let you bounce out and back in at that Ranong border because you only get a 14 day visa exempt entry when you FLY in to the country you can't enter by land without a visa

Myanmar. I know why now. As soon as I got passport, I didn't go to Thai embassy at Yangon to get 30 days Tourist visa. I just came by flight . For Myanmar, we get 14 days free visa. So on that day 2nd May, I went to Chumpon immigration office and extended 7days more (TM 7). I had to pay 1900 as well. Actually, I got a job here so I have to apply Non B Visa , for that I need 14 days to be in Thailand cuz I need to wait for all the docs from school, labour ministry and so on.. Plus school isn't open yet. They can't be done within 7 days of my stay😥.

@Thae **********

you evidently didn't have a multi-entry tourist visa.

What country is your passport from?

@Terary *********

i tried ranong 3x last year, this year mae sot with metv and kanchanaburi without visa

So sad for me😥 my tourist visa date was (19 April -2nd May) so on 1st of May i took bus from Hatyai to Ranong but I was rejected to cross the border. Ranong Immigration Officer said I can only use flight back to Myanmar 😥

Thank you!! People like you are the reason I continue to read this page. Where do you recommend I get my next SETV (US passport holder, just finish METV from Australia)

In 10 years coming in and out of ranong i have never been asked for 20k or onward travel evidence. Of course to be sure then take that worst case there is an atm near if needed

@Tod ********

I know some who have been asked for 20k cash. Not heard anything about onward travel so can’t really say either way. To be honest they are pretty laid back there so it’s only those on back to back that’ll get grilled. Also they know they can’t “send you back” so will make sure you are good to come in before you go.

can you confirm if they were asking for proof of funds and proof of onward travel when stamping back in ??
