Hi,

I entered Thailand for the first time on 1/10/2025 and received a 60 days stay. I haven’t done any extensions or visa runs yet. I would like to stay in Thailand until 1/18/2026, so I’m planning to do a visa run until 28/11/2025 to get another 60 days.

I booked a border run with a local agency, but they told me they can’t process the visa run at the original border (Chiang Khong) due to stricter regulations. They suggested a different border, but the situation feels a bit uncertain. I’m considering whether it might be simpler to book a same- ay return flight to Malaysia instead.

Given the current circumstances, which option would be better? I hold a Hungarian passport.

Hello Everyone, currently i am in thailand as a tourist. And since applying for DTV visa from inside thailand is not allowed.

Can i go to Malaysia and apply from there ? Did anyone had similar situation ?

I am currently in bkk on a 60 visa exempt entry. I am planning on flying to Malaysia and applying for multi entry visa. This is my way of navigating visa runs without any stress. I plan to leave on a Wednesday and come to bkkk back on Wednesday, is that enough to to apply for online abd receive the visa? Or do I need to stay in Malaysia longer?

Also, will this successful at navigating entry, I plan to split my time between countries and I don’t want any issues coming back and forth.

What is the best and closest country to fly to that does not require a visa for someone from the United States? How long should I stay until flying back to Thailand?

Hello everyone.

My DTV was approved (Ho Chi Minh). It took a week longer than anticipated and I came back to Thailand early (entered with a tourist visa).

I'm planning a trip to KL next week to get the DTV stamp. I've been there many times, so I was thinking of returning the same day. Would Thai immigration have any problems with it?

I know those border runs were more of an issue when entering back into Thailand with a tourist visa. Would it be fine to do a 3-4 hour trip, but entering with DTV this time?

I've done a few border runs in my time just the walk over ones. As I stand there I see the Thai and Malaysian come and go seemly no checks ??? . I'm off to Kuala Lumpur soon for a few days and you know it is my Thai lady friend says I come I come. So the question is do a Thai need a passport to go to Malaysia ?

My boyfriend is lived with me from September he has 2 month visa he wants to take me to malaysia in October for 5 days before he goes back to england will he be able to get back into Thailand until the end of October

Ok. Visa on arrival 60 days and I need another 60 days . What s the best way??

Immigration only get s you another 30 days.

So maybe better to Laos for 2 nights? But do I need a visa for this visarun??

Or any other country for a few days where I donot need a visa?

Pls advise.

My visa exemption extension is going to run out on the 1st September. Am I right in thinking if I fly to Malaysia before then and come back I will receive a new 60 day stamp?

Also, can I just come back the next day from Malaysia? Like a 24 hour trip.

Thanks.
