DTV Border Run?

Hey everyone. I’m nearing my 360 days for my DTV, all my 90 day check-ins, and my 180 day extension were all done to the exact dates, and everything is in order.

But I’m wondering if anyone has had any issues leaving Thailand and returning back with DTV?

Can I do a border run? Do I have to be out of Thailand for a certain amount of time? Do they re-check credentials when re-entering?

Any insights would be appreciated 🙏🏼

Hello

I stay in Pattaya.

My 180 days finish now and i need to extend my Visa.

What isbthe best cheapest and fastest way to extend the dtv visa after 180 Days

If I fly into Bangkok and get the 60 day visa and then towards the end of that go elsewhere for a week or so and then fly back in to Thailand will I get another 60 days?

Quick question, see on the DTV VISA when you extend your visa after the initial 6 months and you've been in Thailand for 12 months, how long do you have to leave the country before you can come back into Thailand? Could I fly to a nearby country for like a long weekend and come back and stay 6 months and extend again? It might seem like a silly question but someone might be able to clear this up for me.

Please suggest me genuine and affordable border run agencies from UBON RATCHATHANI TO LAOS.

I am from a visa exempt country so that’s 60 days + got my 30 days extension in Bkk. Now I’m in ubon ratchathani and want to do re enter with 60 days as my visa is running out. Could you please recommend me a trusted agency ?

Hello all I am a bit confused please help my upcoming trip.

When entering for the first time do we have to report to immigration before 90 days then do a border run or do we have to do a boarder run before 90days then report when we re-enter?

I'm doing my first border run to Laos on Friday most likely to Nong Khai on DTV. Will I face any issue going right in and coming back? Do I need a hotel booking?

Can anyone recommend a border run agency that operates strictly at that border? I won't need a ride to the border I just wanted help when I get there. I understand it may not be necessary but it would give me peace of mind.

Hi All! I have arrived and all went smoothly with DTV application and immigration. I have moved the required funds into a savings account (which is a different bank to my original application account). Can I use this new account when I go to get my 180 day visa stamp over here ?

OR does it need to be same bank as original bank statements given ?

Thanks for any clarification 😊🙏🏼

Hi everyone,

I'm on a DTV and live in Phuket but currently in Chiang Mai until mid next week. I'm considering doing a quick border run while I'm up here since I know Chiang Mai has easy access to the Laos border.

My situation:

- Not urgent (still have plenty of time on my current 180-day stamp)

- But this seems like a good opportunity while I'm already in the north

- I’ve been reading that in-country extensions are proving difficult in both Phuket and Chiang Mai, with immigration often directing people to border runs anyway

- Looking to do it quickly - ideally a same-day service

Questions:

1. Can anyone recommend reliable border run companies operating from Chiang Mai to Chiang Khong/Huay Xai?

2. What's the current cost and timing? (I've seen ~2,500 THB mentioned for 8-hour trips)

3. Any recent experiences or tips for this route?

4. Is it worth doing now vs. waiting and flying to Malaysia/Cambodia from Phuket later?

Appreciate any advice or recommendations! 🙏

Can I apply to extend my visa for more than just 1 month maybe additional 5 months at immigration in jomtien
