Thinking of doing my 6 month dtv border run in laos, any advice on most efficient way to pop out and in? I was thinking a flight from bkk to Udon Thani and making our way to the Thao Laos friendship bridge.

Any help / advice would be much appreciated!

Has anyone been asked whilst doing a border run with the DTV about their bank balance?

I’ve heard a couple stories of officers asking to see their balance of over 500k THB in the one account

Has anyone recently done a visa land border run to Vientiane ( from Udon Thani) and returned the same day?

If so did u get 60 days upon returning to Thailand? UK passport here.

Thanks

Hi to you!

Canadian citizen here.

Would that be possible for me to get an exemption visa which is 2 months right now, plus a 1 month extension and then for 1 more months a border run.

If possible that would give me a stay of 4 months which is what I need for this trip.

Thanks.

I have a friend from the Philippines here in Thailand on a tourist visa. She just did her 2nd land border run to get another 30 day tourist visa. Then of course she can get another and final 30 day extension at the immigration office.

I know that she will need to leave Thailand by air next. My question is, is there a set timeframe on how long she must be out of the country before returning by air and starting another round of extensions by land?

Thank you

Is it possible to apply for a 60 visa before I do my border run? So I can get 60 days opposed to 30?
