Hello group members,

Need some advice regarding land border entry for tourism.

Nationality: Indian, eligible for 60 day visa free entry

1. Planning to fly in to BKK, travel to the north for 7 days (Chiang Mai-Chiang Rai) , cross-over to Laos, and take the boat to Luang Prabang, and spend 10 days in Laos.

2. Cross over to Thailand via Nong Khai border (avail visa free entry), travel Nong Khai to BKK , then take the bus from BKK to Siem Reap (Cambodia).

3. Stay in Cambodia for 10 days, crossover again to Thailand from Aranyaprathet, and fly back to India.

Key questions:

1. Is the visa free entry scheme for Indian citizens valid for these 2 border crossings- Nong Khai and Aranyaprathet. I have seen reports of some Indians being denied entry at Nong Khai and asked to fly from Vientiene to Bangkok instead.

2. Is there any restriction on the number of times a person can avail the visa free entry scheme, (i will be entering Thailand 3 times within a period of 30 days, before finally flying back to India)

3. Am i expected face any additional scrutiny or entry denial on account of my nationality, vs say a person from a first world country?

Kindly provide your inputs.

Warm Regards

Iโ€™m currently in Cambodia while waiting for my DTV to be approved. Once itโ€™s approved, can I go to Bangkok by land or do I have to enter by airplane in order to activate the DTV visa? When applying online, you can select to enter by land through a border checkpoint, so Iโ€™m assuming you can, but then there are people that say otherwise.

I am Canadian. Is it even worth getting a METV now that there is the 60 day Visa Exemption ?

Sorry if this has been asked before i have just joined today

I know you can now get a 60 day visa exempt on arrival but is this also for land borders ie. Surin / Cambodia

Aplogies if this is already been discussed, I am just trying to obtain recent information. From my understanding there is currently no limit on land border crossings? I only ask as I will be undergoing medical treatment in malaysia and will need to do roughly 5 visits over a the course of 3 months. I'm currently on visa exempt 60 days

Good evening.

We've already done two border bounces via (Thailand-Laos-Thailand)

But soon we have to go to Laos again for our visa application in the Thai Embassy.

Is it possible to travel to Laos again by land and enter Thailand by air? Or vice versa?

Or do we only have one option this time -- travel by air Thailand-Laos-Thailand?

Thank you ๐Ÿ™

Question. Does the 2 land border crossing per calendar year rule still apply on a Non Imm O multiple entry visa? Canadian passport if that makes a difference. Reason I ask is when I did my last bounce at Chiang Khong, the officer told me โ€œlast timeโ€ when going through my stamps and I told him no, but he didnโ€™t seem to agree with me so I just want to make sure before I go again.
