Am here on US visa exempt 30 day. Just extended thru immigration for 1900 baht. How many times can I extend thru immigration? I know about border bouncing and have done many.

I am a Canadian and my Philipino GF are here. We entered without a visa and have already extended once.. We are going to Laos next week and then re-enter. We would like to stay here for a year and have heard so many different story's its hard to figure out what is the best option. I am 69 years old and she is 46.

Are border bounces still possible to Malaysia with the implementation of the ETA system? Anyone done one recently?

Hi everyone,

I spent 8 months in Thailand this year on visa exemptions + extensions. I plan on going back in March 2024 on another visa exemption, which will be around 4ish months since I last left Thailand.

Based on everyone's experience, will l encounter any hassles upon entry to BKK Airport? Should I just apply for a Tourist Visa (even though that is not a fool proof plan either)? I have an Australian passport for context.

Thank you!

Question:

- I have applied and been granted a 60 day Tourist Visa. It hasn’t been used/activated yet.

- I am now staying on 30 days+30 days extension.

- I have already had 2 land border entries in this calendar year (2023)

So, from my understanding, it’s clear that I can’t have another 30 days via border bouncing over land -

But what about leaving and entering again via land on the approved TR visa?

Or does the rule about entries by land border still apply? 🤔

Would be great to gain some clarity on this! 🤷‍♂️🙏✨

Hey guys! I have questions about visa runs. I am currently on an exemp visa in Bangkok and I have to go for a visa run at the end of the month. I am planning to take a flight to one of the near countries so my entrance will be by air.

My questions are, as far as getting another visa exempt, how long do I need to be out of the country to get it? Can I go and come back the next day? Thanks a bunch.

Are the struggles with the poipet border crossing when you try and come into Thailand from Cambodia or the other way around? Or both?

ATTENTION MEMBERS: Land border closures

The Lao borders are open like normal

The Cambodian borders are open like normal BUT we suggest you do NOT bounce out and back on your own (do so at your own risk)

This is the update on Burma;

The Mae Sai / Tachileik border with Burma in Chiang Rai is closed (they said for a week). The Mae Sot / Myawaddy border with Burma in Tak is closed as well.

If you want to border bounce you can use the two borders with Lao in Chiang Rai province; Chiang Saen / Special Economic Zone <- where you cross in and out of Lao by boat across the Mekong or the Chiang Khong / Huay Xai border <- where you cross by bridge.

Also the Phu Nam Ron / Htee Khee border with Burma in Kanachanaburi is still not open for foreigners to exit/re-enter

At this time he only Burma border open is the Ranong / Kawthaung.

This is provided as an announcement only. We are not going to let commenting on the post.

You want to border bounce, post on a f/b group related to where you stay in thailand and ask. Believe me you're not the only foreigner in your area who needs/wants to bounce out and back..
