Hi all. The school that I was working for is planning to cancel my work permit. Is it correct that my visa will automatically be canceled, too? Is there anything that I must do before going for a boarder run? The school isn't helping me to explain this thoroughly.

- have to do normal 90 day report

- I arrived with DTV Feb 28 so will do my 90 day around mid May.

BUT since it’s 180 days; technically I’d need to leave the country to renter Aug 27.

- is it possible to extend at immigration in Chiang mai or can I do land border run/go for example to Laos and back same day? (Ps I am on the Maui thai DTV route)

Just want to double check - anyone living in cm can you let me know also how you did this?

Thanks!!

Hello everyone, I will do a border run next weekend as my first 180 days are coming to an end. When I received my DTV I got told that there’s no need of doing 90 days report.

Now that I’m reading a group I see a lot of threads about 90 days report, that’s why I’d like to ask, is there anyone with the similar problem as me?

Do I need to prepare for some fines at the border due to the lack of 90 days report?

Also I’ve been in Thailand consecutively for ~180 days.

Hi guys,

I have been on a retirement visa for 4 years then a marriage visa for 3 years,

I then got the 60 day visiting family,

I now have to leave and come back to get the 60 day visa exempt,

I'm in khonkean, would going out at Nong khai and coming back through the same route be my best option?

180 days on a DTV coming up, living in Pattaya. Can I border bounce either via BKK airport or via a van service to Cambodia on the same day to get another 180 days or do I need to spend time out of the country?

Is it common to get questioned when re entering the Kingdom? I come in and out a few times a year. This time I did 6 weeks here then flew to Taipei for 10 days, when I came in this time he asked how long I intended to stay and wanted to see my onward tkt.

I was planning to do another 6 weeks and go to the Philippines for a few weeks before returning again. Feeling a bit apprehensive now.

I hear people doing border runs for a day without any problems.

Looking for recommendations for extending my DTV.

I’m based in Chiang Mai, from what I’m seeing here it seems as if it’s easier to exit the country and come back rather than extending at immigration.

Has anyone done a same day border run from Chiang Mai?

I do also own my own motorbike so that is an option for me (have a 2 year thai license), just not sure it would be all that comfortable

Asking for a friend

...really, because I'm American. For a citizen of Chile I understand they currently get 90-day visa exempt stamp upon entry (not the 60 days offered to many other nationalities.) Can this be extended for 30 days one or more times at an immigration office in country? This person has entered Thailand one time this year and stayed less than 30 days, and may enter again next month after being out of the country 2-3 weeks.

As they might want to stay here beyond 4 months, they may need to leave Thailand to get a new stamp. If they go to Cambodia, do you expect that will be easy and will they have to stay overnight in Cambodia? Would it be any different if they did a land crossing or if they traveled by airplane?
