Has anyone used the crossing at Ranong to leave and reset the DTV? Or is it closed?

Hi, we are an Australian couple who usually live here for 3 months a year. Due to current ‘world climate and costs’ we want to stay an additional month. We have never done a visa run. This week in Phuket but from next week Khao Lak. Land boarder options are Malaysia or Myanmar (closer to Khao Lak but more risky???).

Any experiences/advice?

We think Malaysia is best?

🙏

Hi all, Im wanting to come to Thailand for 4 months to escape the rainy season in Da Nang, but all I can think off is a 60 day visa then extend another 30 days, so obviously thats around 3 months 🤔?? Any help or suggestions, thanks.

Border Runs on Visa exempt?

Can anyone advise on what would happen if a border run attempt was made with the new restrictions?

Arrived on 60 day visa exempt and then additional 30 day extension has been made whilst there

Can someone leave the country and re enter the same day or a few days later and get a new 60 day visa exempt?

A lot of previous years this has been done with a boat trip out and back again same day, unsure if this can now be done?

Know people can just apply for different visas in future etc, just asking for this occasion.

Asking for someone who is there and the 30 days extension expires in a few days and they’re unsure if return home or attempt a border run.

Thank you!

Hi everyone 🙏

I have a DTV visa, and I’m planning to apply for a dependent DTV visa for my baby (under 1 year old) while we are still outside Thailand.

My plan is:

1. Apply for her DTV dependent visa from abroad

2. Travel to Thailand before it’s approved (so she enters on a tourist visa)

3. Receive the approval while we are already in Thailand

4. Then do a short visa run so she can re-enter using the DTV visa

Does anyone know if this is acceptable, or if there could be any issues with this approach—especially considering she is an infant?

Thanks a lot in advance 🙏🙏🙏

Applying the DTV from HCMC and still waiting the results after providing the requested documents. My visa in Vietnam will be expired on 22 Mar 2026. Anyone who has experienced to extend the visa ? Or could the result receive before expire my visa. And I notice that I need to know the result this Friday, 20 Mar 2026 as they are not working on weekend, Am I right?

Any suggestions or share your experience, please. Thanks in advance.
