Hi - I'm about to do a Visa Run - already two agents has said "border closed" - anyone know what it is about? 🙏 Tia

Hi everyone,

I'm on a DTV and live in Phuket but currently in Chiang Mai until mid next week. I'm considering doing a quick border run while I'm up here since I know Chiang Mai has easy access to the Laos border.

My situation:

- Not urgent (still have plenty of time on my current 180-day stamp)

- But this seems like a good opportunity while I'm already in the north

- I’ve been reading that in-country extensions are proving difficult in both Phuket and Chiang Mai, with immigration often directing people to border runs anyway

- Looking to do it quickly - ideally a same-day service

Questions:

1. Can anyone recommend reliable border run companies operating from Chiang Mai to Chiang Khong/Huay Xai?

2. What's the current cost and timing? (I've seen ~2,500 THB mentioned for 8-hour trips)

3. Any recent experiences or tips for this route?

4. Is it worth doing now vs. waiting and flying to Malaysia/Cambodia from Phuket later?

Appreciate any advice or recommendations! 🙏

Hello, I’m planning to do a visa run to Laos from Chiang Rai, I have the DTV, but I’m seeing some people saying you have to stay in Laos for two nights, but I’m not sure if that is just for visa exemption/visa on arrival. Has anybody done this before and know how it works? Thanks in advance.

maybe dumb question but for exit and reentry can I just drive on my own to Laos border, go into Laos and immediately reenter?

Hi Guys, this is a back up from my previous post. After numerous trips to immigration and the Thai embassy, it has become very clear that, I need to leave Thailand and apply for a non o visa before returning. My wife and I are planning a road trip to the Laos border and then applying from Laos. If any you guys have done this and want to share your experiences and maybe toss in any relevant tips it would be most appreciated. As a footnote, my wife is Thai and a Thai passport holder.

Just another parrot in here reaching the 180 day point of a DTV. who's looking for the easiest way a british citizen in bangkok can extend another 180 days outside of a flight or visiting Bangkok immigration? Not just a location that I should border bounce at but an actual simplified journey planner. I can be up as early as needed. Apologies if it comes off as demanding but I prefer real time verified answers instead of finding a post about border running 6 months ago. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

What are the current rules on getting extra time in Thailand by doing a Laos/Myanmar border bounce ie used to just walk out of Thailand and walk back only took about 30-45 min to get processed BUT when getting my family visa in Chiang Rai (prior to that had my tourist visa and its extension) the immigration officer told me now need to stay out of Thailand for 2 nights before I can return.

Appreciated if someone could let me know the current amount of time I need to stay out - I preferred the in/out but if needed will book a hotel. All the best.
