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?

I have a question regarding the immigration stamp. When I re-entered thailand, I got a 'Out-A' stamp which I did not get before. Does anyone know what this means?

Some background information. Not sure if it's helpful or not. I have been studying thai in Thailand for about 1.5 years. The first 1 year 2 months, I had an ED-Visa. The other 4 months I had a normal visa-exempt in which I had to do a border run. For the last 6 months of my studies, I studied in Chula.

Planning to stay in Thailand from September until April. Around 8 months. I plan to leave the country during this period a few times for short visits in other countrys. I spent already 30 days and 75 day this year in the country on visa exempt. Do you recommend the METV? Could that cause any issues?. Or should I better go for a DTV. Was never questioned before at immigration.

Regarding someone coming to Thailand with visa exempt + extension, then border run to reset, what is the general consensus as far as how many times is pretty safe to do? Are two border runs totaling 90 x 3 = 270 days doable? I am planning on getting non-O retirement visa for myself. I want my wife to come but we might not have 1.6 mill tbht cash to deposit right away, so I am thinking I get non-O and she just comes with tourist visa. TIA.

My wife and I are coming over to Thailand and then plan to visit Sri Lanka, Cambodia, Vietnam and finally Australia.

We are retired and financially very stable. We intend to enter Thailand approximately 3-4 times over 6-8 months.

Tourist visa with extension and boarder bounce or Muti entry visa????

Thank you

I need solid advice about my current scenario. I arrived in Thailand for the first time in November, got the 60-day stamp then went to immigration and got a 30-day extension. I did a border run to get another 60 days. Then another border run for another 60 days. By the time I finally decided to get a non O retirement visa (90 days + 12 month extension of stay) I realized I didn’t have enough time so am doing one last border run in a few days. Yes I should have done things differently but I failed. I am leaving Thailand in July and returning in October. Do I need to get the non O visa before I leave so I won’t be rejected upon trying to re-enter? Or can I leave then begin the visa process immediately upon coming back in October?
