Hi all! Last week I extended my 60 day tourist visa for another 30 days. When this expires, can I do a border run to Laos and re-enter on another 60 day tourist visa? Also, I’ve already done 2 land border runs to Laos this year. Will I have to fly out of the country now? TIA!

Maybe someone who actually experienced this can give clear explanation. About the 180 days, is it total stay in Thailand even though we go out after 90 days..so with 60 visa exempt +30 ext, then go out to come back with another 60 + 30 extension, is that it, comprising the 180 days allowed? How long do we need to be outside after this 180 days to be able to come back using the 60 +30 days again? Tia..

Hello everyone. I just arrived on a 60 day visa. My girlfriend and I are expecting a daughter in December. After which, we will file the paperwork for my parental rights. My question involves my visa. Right now my understanding is that I will file an extension that will take me to the end of November. After that I plan on doing border runs until my family member visa and parental rights paperwork can get done. Is this the best way to go about things? Thank you for any advice!

I think they should rename this visa the Desperados Thailand Visa.

Hi everyone,

I know this has probably been asked in different variations, but I just wanted to clarify my personal situation and get some advice.

I arrived in Thailand on a UK tourist visa for 2 months, which I extended to 3 months. I then did a border run, allowing me an additional 2 months plus another extension. I understand that eyebrows may be raised after around 6 months. I am currently in the process of getting married to my Thai girlfriend, but this will overlap with my current stay, so I'll need to do another border run to give me the breathing space to finalize everything.

I'm aware there is no longer a 2-per-year land border limit, and each entry is the discretion of immigration. Will they feel I am abusing tourist entries if I show evidence of this marriage process im going through, or should I be fine since they can see (if I provide evidence) that I'm only doing this run to arrange the relevant long-term visa?

I will also be using a reputable border run service should that make any difference.

Thanks,

Hi I am intending to visit Thailand again for @ 6 months starting in October. I am retired (so cant get the new nomad visa) will travel with my Thai wife of many years. Last year I went on a Tourist visa, extended it for 30 days, they got a family visa then popped over to Laos for a day.

To simplify matters this year plan to apply for a Multiple Entry Tourist visa - have been assured that this lets you enter the country for 3 x of 60 days in a 6 months period - so idea being arrive after 60 days go to Laos returning the same day which will also be day one of the second 60 days, at the end of which repeating this process - so total of 177 days in Thailand. My question is step 3 of the Multiple entry application asks for date of arrival (okay) BUT then asks date of departure is this the 60th day ie when I go in/out to get my next entry on my visa OR is it the 157th day?

Hi all, I want to confirm if I'm right to advise a Danish friend of mine

He arrived with tourist visa 60 days and already did a 30 day extension.

Now he want to stay another 1 to 2 months.

He was advised to go to the Thai consulate in Vientiane to get a new visa, but I think he will be okay with just a border run and get stamped in on a 60 days visa exception.

Am I right?

I heard about this new thing about have to stay out some days, will this apply in this case?

My 38-year-old husband has a non-o visa that expires on September 21st. Given that we're still waiting for our authorization marriage certificate from the US, I'm inquiring about the possibility of obtaining a 30-day extension visa for him. Unfortunately, a married visa isn't an option at this time.

Looking for advise. Thank you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I am coming back to Thailand after being gone for 2 years. I was there during covid.

I am wanting to come in on a 2 month visa, extend for one more and then if I want to stay for longer, do a border run.

My question is, from your experience, are they allowing people to extend their visas for 3 months if you were here during covid?

I know that no one can clearly say it will or won't happen. I'm asking what your experience is if you were here during covid and then left for a while and came back! And did the let you back in if you left for a border run after 3 months?

Thanks!

Hello,

My wife and me staying currently in Thailand but need to leave the country on the 1.October.

How many days do we get as a swiss citizen if we only do the Boarder run. Means get out and get in the country on the same day?
