Good day! I am here on a multi entry visa and my time to exit (60 days)and return is upon me. Is it advisable to use a company that takes you across border and back same day to get new visa stamp or take a flight out and return? What is the difference and is one option better than the other? Thanks in advance for any help in clearing this up!
I am in the middle of my first 180 days on my DTV visa. As I will be in Ranong area in the next month, I am thinking about going over the border at Ranong/Kawthaung and getting stamped in again. I know tourists are border-bouncing and getting visa-exempt entries at that border. I'm not sure if a DTV entry (with 180 day stamp) is also possible at Kawthaung: does anyone have experience with this?
We want to leave the country and come back to get another stamp. Is it mandatory to be outside for some exact amount of time? Or we can just go back on the next day?
My visa exempt entry to Thailand at the Nong Khai post was declined today.
I obtained my new US passport last year. I flew to Thailand twice last year, got 1 extension of the two exempts. And used one border cross from last year. This was going to be my very first entry to Thailand in 2025, I am very surprised to be declined. Did anyone have a similar experience lately ? Supervisor said I stayed too long in Thailand, he said I should go back to Laos and fly to Thailand. But on the paper he gave me he marked (1) and (3), I think meaning they think I work in Thailand, which is nonsense, I don't work. I think we are back to pre-pandemic days, Thailand does not need repeat tourists anymore
Just started my slow-traveling adventure through SE Asia at the end of October 2024 and spent 58 days in Bangkok actually sightseeing and being a tourist.
The day after Christmas I took a 16-day trip to Siem Reap, Cambodia and returned to Bangkok on January 11th, but I am leaving for Cambodia again this Sunday for a two week stay. So my stay this time in Thailand was five weeks.
Next stop is three months in Vietnam, but my original plans had me book the flight from DMK.
I'll do a border crossing back into Thailand from Siem Reap for just 1-1/2 days before flying to Da Nang. I have a confirmed hotel stay near DMK, a confirmed booking on Thai Air Asia for my flight to Dan Nang, along with a confirmed Vietnam visa.
Do you think Thai immigration will give me any issues at the land border crossing coming in from Cambodia? My travel intentions are not to do border runs or border bounces. Just happened to go back-and-forth between Thailand and Cambodia for the past four months. Any advice is appreciated.
Good afternoon. I entered Thailand with DTV in august 24. so i need to extend. I applied under medical soft power and already printed all documents from Bumrungrad hospital. Due to high medical costs and co-pay from insurance, my foreign bank account can’t keep the same balance for months. I printed evidence of income with embassy signature. But if they still want to see a steady balance, I could print a sponsorship letter from relatives. I believe this was meant for emplpyers. Did someone try private sponsorship? I don’t like long bus trips and would prefer to avoid border jumps 🙏
