Just a bit confused by visa requirements and a bit of friendly advice would be appreciated, I am the original dinosaur.

I am looking at coming to Thailand towards the end of October and staying until some time in April.

I think that the 6 month tourist, Multiple Entry is probably the Visa I require?

My main issue with this is, it looks like you need to leave the country every 60 days, so I would need to do a border run twice to be able to stay for the nearly 6 months, is this correct?

If there is a better visa, or way of doing it, your advice would be appreciated.

Have a good day x

Hi, I’m currently in Thailand and will need to exit country after 90 days being on a multi entry tourist visa (METV - 60 days + 30 days extension).

Do I have to stay abroad for a certain number of days, or can I leave and return on the same day?

Hi everyone

This is my first time possibly going to be doing this but I was thinking of doing my first border run but I’m a bit skeptical doing it on my own as I do not know anything. I was wondering if any of you know of a possible agent I could use that would arrange everything for me but not being too expensive please 😅

Thanks in advance guys

Why did I get interrogated for one border run ?

They took me to a separate section and asked me all kinds of questions then told me i am staying here too long. I only stayed 2 months at chiang mai and i took a flight to luang prabang for a short trip. They said i need a visa next time. That means no more travel visas? How do you guys do multiple border runs without troubles? I wish i had a DTV visa

Just posting what happened with us for reference. Arrived end of April (US passport) for first time ever in Thailand planning to stay 90 days. After 60 days, we elected not to file an extension as we wanted to spend a week in Cambodia before returning for a month. We left on time, had a blast in Cambodia.

When we arrived back tonight (BKK) we caught the lecture about this being the last time we would be allowed in for a year. He said the rules had changed and he could only give us 45 days. He said from now on foreigners can only stay a total of 90 days per year. Fine with us we are leaving before then. After a 15 minute back and forth we were allowed to enter. I checked as I exited airport; he stamped 60 days.

Yea, yea, I know that’s not the “rules” or whatever. Just letting people on the every 3 month visa run know they are indeed cracking down if I can catch a lecture for my 2nd entrance ever.

Hi, have tried google but got conflicting answers, am curious about the digital nomad visa. Will soon be working remotely for a UK company, am a British citizen, want to move to Thailand. Does the 180 days mean you can only stay 180 days in a single year? Or does it mean you have to do a border run every 180 days?

Hi

I need to do my first border run with DTV

Can I do a round trip flight to Cambodia, stay just 24 hours, and then return to Bangkok?

Or is that too short of a stay?

Anyone know if boarder run available still from krabi to Satun

FYI

How many , 60 day visa exception with a 30 day extension, can you do I a 12 month period
