When will border runs for visas to Malaysia, Myanmar, and Vietnam be possible again?

@Lisa *******************

Vietnam is not letting people in. Vietnam has said nothing as of yet. This is conjecture at best.

@Gr**

my point is, by July 31st most places will be.

@Lisa *******************

I think you're wrong there, personally, Malaysia is the earliest at 31st August and that's likely to be heavily restricted, even delayed. I can't see Vietnam or Indonesia happening before that and the route Indonesia seems to be on is 'travel bubble' from other Asian countries, not including Thailand.

@Lisa *******************

Thailand will not be open to everyone by July 31st

@Lisa *******************

Want to bet on that date? You really think there is going to be free passage without restrictions for all nationalities by July 31st? I admire your optimism but do not share it.

@Gr**

1st of July currently. Maybe. But my point was, if you leave on a border run, may be difficult to get back in. After careful consideration of all these factors, I flew home on Sunday.

. In the current climate what you are suggesting makes perfect sense. People have to realise the landscape has altered and the previous ability to carry out border bounces and visa runs has gone, and personally I feel border bounces have gone forever. It is obvious the Thai government want to maintain tight border controls with respect to importation of potentially deadly viruses (and as we know it, Covid 19 could well resurface on a regular basis, or in some other guise). This may include mandatory testing, insurance, quarantine and who knows what else? I have to say I'm amazed that those on amnesty have not been using their extended time to persue alternative options of remaining in the country. One of those I agree would have been to ship in the 800,000 baht into a Thai account (contrary to some perceptions, it's not going to "disappear"). If this had been done three months ago when the first shit hit the fan, it would already be seasoned ready for an attempt at getting some in-country extension. It appears many amnesty visitors are merely sitting back with fingers crossed waiting for land borders to open unhindered, and for another couple of months amnesty. For anyone serious about remaining in Thailand, that is one huge risk to take

@Otto ********

If your home is in Thailand then what visa are you on? If people are on visa exempt or tourist visas they are not resident?

@Greg *******

I guess I feel very fortunate that I am here on a Non O-A that I actually extended this morning for another 12 months.

@Brett ******

. The way to go! OA is the mother of all visas. When you balance the cost of the insurance against constantly thinking of border bounces, visa runs, cost of flights home/other countries and the restless nights that I'm sure many are having now, it's negligible. And, unlike the marriage visa, you don't need to provide pictures of you shaggin' your missus in your bedroom and in the driveway of your home! 🤣🤣🤣

@Bobby *******

I feel my days of staring in home porn are long gone. 🤣🤣

@Greg *******

i got a 1-year extension to my Non-B last month at Chaeng Wattana.

@Jeff ******

So that was extension to current Non B? They should be fine???

@Greg *******

yeah an extension to a 90 day non B I got in Penang. Extensions of non B are proceeding normally.

@Jeff ******

Good to know.
