Hello everybody, I will need to extend my stay with the DTV for another 6 months at the end of this month. I understand I can either go to the immigration office and pay the fee, or I can also exit the country and come back again

Any suggestions on which of these two options is recommended?

Sorry to be anonymous but any reason to think we can’t do a same day border bounce at Chiang Khong?

Land of smiles? Not at BKK Suvarnabhumi airport.

History;

2023- 1 x visit of 28 days and 1 visit on VISA for 56 days.

2024- 2 visits of 29 days

2025- decide to travel around Asia for 6 months. Arrive BKK 28/1. 2 months visa exempt and 1 month extension. Visited many cities and places. Then flew to Cambodia and Vietnam for 2 months as never been before.

25/6 - fly back to BKK. TDAC all completed, flight to Europe on 22 July, so less than 1 month.

Immigration woman told me I will not be allowed entry. I asked why not, she said you've just done a border bounce and you're not a tourist! ( border bounce for 2 months lol)

No. No entry. So she called a supervisor, who saw my visas etc for cambodia and Vietnam. Showed him a list of cities and places i had visited, and my return flight to Europe. He asked why i had extended before and i told him honestly, i was going to visit the south chumphon and Hat Yai. He agreed that I was a tourist, and told the woman immigration officer to let me in. He then left.

Her face was like thunder, you could see the anger in her face.

As she returned my passport she said, you're not allowed in Thailand again without a visa!

I know it's IO decision, but with my history and never a border bounce, I find her attitude and decision harsh? Any views welcomed , especially as the amount of people who abuse the V.E and border bounce regularly. Maybe it's these abusers, ruining it for genuine travellers

Is anyone experiencing difficulties with eVisa applications, every time I fill in the application then save I can’t retrieve it and similarly when I go to edit it does not allow it to be edited. This has been over the last week.

I’m now looking to just enter on 60 days and talk with my local immigration in Ubon to arrange an extension or visa there by doing a border bounce as I have done previously

Q: Do you have to do a border bounce to active an Ed Visa from a visa exemption or is there any alternative?

Can I do a visa run on the actual last day my visa “expires” or should I leave a day before. Just going on a 2 hour flight

First time seeing, request Cambodia visa extension. Instead of border bounce to Vietnam better to do extension when Cambodia visa is running out. Evisa website clearly states that must be in person which country u apply. Now DTV process in Cambodia so slow.

Anyone with any experience of:

1. Border bounce to get a fresh 180 days (Satun Malaysia)

2. Filing 90 day report late. Tried to file on time, told that for DTV I need. TM30. Landlord then took ages to get me a TM30. I understand its a 2k baht fine.

Thanks
