Hello..because I come every two months for two months to Thailand for visit my girlfriend i can get no tourists visas anymore. Now I have a non -O visa( initial) suitable for short term 90 days. I only will stay for 2 months.
I just learned today that my Israeli partner can’t do a border run anymore? He’s in Thailand as a tourist, has never done a border run, what are our options? Flying in and out? Make a holiday out of it? Or are they difficult with that too? I thought 2 border runs per year were always allowed (and no longer than 6 months in the country)
More info: as I said, he’s never done a border run. He was in Thailand in 2025 for 3 months total, on 3 separate trips (2 weeks in May, 2 weeks in July, 2 months at the end of the year). Based on this, I don’t see any reason for a border run business to say he can’t do one (to Burma). I was told they don’t take Israelis at all, in general, anymore.
Do I need a special type of visa to rent a condo in Bangkok and travel between the US and Bangkok? Plan would be to rent a place there and stay in BKK for 2-3 weeks every other month or so and when not there be back in the US.
Possible? Will a standard tourist visa work? Can I rent a yearly condo with this type of set up?
I just extended my exemption visa for 30 days, after that what option do i have if i want to stay just 1 more month? ( im married and have 1 daughter, is there any special re extension or 1 month visa?)
I'm looking for an opinion on the safest way to go about this. I entered Thailand on a Visa Exempt Entry. That gave me 60 days. I'm coming up on that 60 days soon. Would it make more sense to go to immigration and apply for the 30 day extension that most people do, or does it make more sense to skip that step and immediately start using a border run company until I'm able to get my longer term visa situated? I'm just looking for the option between the 2 that decreases my chance the most of getting rejected.
