Hi. I am in Thailand on my DTV visa. I am getting closer to the time of my 90-day reporting. Furthermore, I have international driving license, but it is valid only for 3 months in Thailand after crossing the border. I was planning do the reporting and converting my license to Thai one and do 90 days, but there came an opportunity for a border bounce.

Here is my question: I will be in Chiang Rai soon. Is it a good option to do a border bounce to “reset” 90-days and driving license? If so: do I just need to exit Thailand and do I have to come into Laos? If so, for how long do I need to enter Laos?

1h drive sounds tempting in comparison to 3 days spent in Thai immigration and other offices ;-)

Is it now possible to do a border bounce at Friendship BridgeIV (Huayxay Bokeo Thailand) on the same day? I realize this is often asked, but uncertain of current regulations...

I have made this run several times from Chaing Rai earlier last year, but have heard that later there was a mandatory 2 day stay on Laos side at some of the entry points.

anyone here tried to use border bounce to cambodia ? any recommended agency? can we get 60 days for re-entry?

Hi everyone!

I have Hungarian passport, already in Pattaya 80 days and I want to make border bounce to Cambodia. Can anyone recommend one agent for me? What is the normal Prise?

🙏

Good evening :)

On a multi-entry tourist visa and about to hit 60 days in the kingdom. Plan to do a border bounce down at Satun to get the next 60 days. I'm curious if I should expect an additional fee at the border for going in and out in one day. I was told by others that they were charged, but they were bouncing on a visa exempt, so I wasn't sure if it would apply to METV or not.

If there is a fee, is it unique to Satun? Would bouncing at Sadao make any difference? Thanks.

What is solution for my friend who’s already arrived in Thailand and wants to validate her Non-0 90 Day Retirement visa? Non-0 approval wasn’t received by her departure date, so she flew from USA to BKK anyway, and got 60 day Visa Exemption stamp.

Has anyone done a border bounce at Pedang Besar recently? Wondering if need to stay a night in Malaysia or if can come back in on same day?

Hey group I’ve applied as a remote worker and currently the visa status is ‘processing pending approval’. Problem is my flight is in 3 days. What do you think I should do ?

Have there been any updates on the requirement to stay in Laos over night when doing a border bounce? I'd be heading over from Chiang Mai.

Hey Everyone. I have read so much helpful information. I am interested in staying just another 60 days past the current 60 days. I saw that you can only apply for a 30 extension once. I am taking care of my retired mom and she will need an extension to. Just wanted to spend my birthday here which is why I want to extend. What would you recommend I do? Not easy to do a visa run as I have a dog license and will be required to do the whole process all over again if she leaves the country. What extension or visa can I apply for in Bangkok for us to stay til my birthday?
