How’s it been going for those choosing a border run to renew the 180 days? Anything I should know? The time is approaching and with it being such a new Visa I’m not finding much helpful info online. I’ve heard rumors of complications like needing to pay, needing to show paperwork, or needing to stay out of the country for several days before re-entry.

Thanks for the help!

If I want to spend less than 180 days a year in thailand, isn’t it a good option to do 60 days exemption visa with 30 days extension twice a year?

What is your favorite border run agency from BKK to Cambodia?

Hello everyone, might be a weird question but what is the possibility of getting rejected if you stay not more than 6 months every year with one border run as a USA citizenship entering Thailand?Thank you very much for answers in advance 🙏

I'm currently in Thailand on a 60 day visa exemption undergoing long term medical treatment. Trying to decide if a DTV might be the best option for me over the next year or two. I kind of have a handle on what's required after reading here. I'm pretty sure I can qualify for the medical soft power since I have to see two specialists and purchase an injectable medication monthly. I also have labs scheduled in early March. Acccording to the doctors I have to take this medicine for the rest of my life.

I realize I have to leave the country and apply at an outside embassy. My question is which of the neighbor country embassies would be my best chance for the least hassles?

I’ve been to Thailand many times, I have a condo in my name and have a thai bank account. I’m still a year or two from retiring to Thailand full time. My last two entries were on a 30 day tourist Evisa for 30 days with 30 day extension and 5 months ago I entered on a 60 day tourist tourist Evisa with a 30-day extension. I heard there is a crackdown on tourist using multiple extensions and that I may be denied entry. About 3 weeks ago I was approved for another 60 day tourist visa and I wish to stay for 90 days. Should I just apply for a non immigrant o visa or take my chances with the extension either way is fine for me?

I have 3 inquiries, can anyone advise :

1) if one stays in Thailand for only 6 months each year , would that mean he only need to do ONE-TIME visa run this way ? :

> Flight to Thailand

> 60 days + 30 days (extension)

> Border RUN ( by flight/road)

> 60 days + 21 days (extension)

> Flight out of Thailand

(Total stay <180 days in Thailand per year )

2) "Visa run" and "border run" means the same thing right ?

3) Is the above method feasible - would this be safe from being questioned by the officers ?

Hey everyone! I need a quick tip about my one-year Non-Immigrant ED visa for Thailand. It’s set to expire next month, and I’m planning to leave the country the day before it ends. After about 10 days, I’ll need to come back for a short visit, and I was thinking of using the 60-day visa exemption on arrival.

Someone told me that even though my Non-ED visa will already have expired by the time I return, I still need to request its cancellation. Does anyone have firsthand experience? Is it really necessary? I’d like to avoid any extra bureaucracy!

Any advice or insights would be super appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I don't understand the reason why they send a tourist out of the border, and then return shortly after, just to have a stamp (free of charge by the way) in the passport... they could have given it to me at the immigration office...!

When your 180 days are up, how long do you need to leave before you can return and get a refresh stamp?
