Just another parrot in here reaching the 180 day point of a DTV. who's looking for the easiest way a british citizen in bangkok can extend another 180 days outside of a flight or visiting Bangkok immigration? Not just a location that I should border bounce at but an actual simplified journey planner. I can be up as early as needed. Apologies if it comes off as demanding but I prefer real time verified answers instead of finding a post about border running 6 months ago. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hey guys

I submitted my DTV from Ho Chi Minh

I only put 7 days on my evisa for Vietnam, which was stupid because I will now likely have to leave if my dtv isn’t approved by then.

Here are my questions

Do I have to stay in Vietnam for the entirety of the approval process? Or am I allowed to leave

And if I have to stay, can I do a land or air border run and will it affect my application?

Many thanks!

How many nights do you have to stay in Laos to be able to get entry stamp back into Thailand

Hello all,

I just wanted to confirm please 🙏🏾

For a person with a US passport if they arrive in Thailand by air (June 03) they get 30 days for that entry and can extend for an additional 30 days at an immigration office (we are in Chiang Mai)

When the 30 day extension expires they will need to leave Thailand for a border run is that still correct?

Also any suggestions for border runs would also be appreciated I have not done one in a long time so I am not sure what her options are 🙏🏾

Thank you in advance 🙏🏾

With DTV visa -

Can I cross border to Malaysia and come back the same day to extend?

I've flown out twice at 6 month mark. Now I'm living closer to laos and I'm wondering if it would be the same as flying out, or would I be asked to show documents again?

I want to change my O-A to an O visa. Is it important that I cancel my current visa Extension first or can I just bounce across a border, get a 60 visa exemption stamp and let my current Extension lapse?

Does anyone tried to do in Cambodia border for another extension of 180days ? do i need to stay a couple days before entering back in thailand , ? Any advice please.

Your help Most appreciated. Thank you

I am looking at coming ti Thailand for 4 months,is there any visa that would cover this?

DTV extension. Some say we have to resubmit all docs again for the extension after the initial 180 days of DTV visa. (hope this is a joke)

OR, we can do border run to extend it without going through the docs check.

Cause my concern is, what if one does not have the employment anymore after the initial approval of the DTV visa. I think they can still keep the visa status somehow, I heard.

thanks for you help!!
