Howdy,

My SETV expires this month and I’d like another 3 months, usually I’d do a run to Mae Sae from Chiang Mai to get VE stamp but it’s a lot of hassle and I’d have to do it twice.

What is the best option at the moment for getting a new SETV from a neighbouring country?

By best option I mean: least amount of hassle and least risk of having issues getting one. Also flying back to Chiang Mai to avoid hassle at BKK airports.

How long should I plan for it take?

Any recent reports of problems entering via CNX airport?

Thanks 🙏

Hello, I want to know more options here. My current visa expires on June 10 and I won’t be going home until 20 August.

Can I go to Mae Sae on 10th which will take me to July 9? and then get an extension which will take me to August 8? and then do Mae sae again for the last 12 days? I haven’t done any runs to the border this year. Thanks for letting me know.

Hello TVA folks again! US passport on an retirement visa that has a renewal date in Jan. Sorry to bother you all with a question regarding a border crossing at Mae Sae. My extension ends on the 12th of Jan. If I were to cross the border on the 12th and try to return with a 30 day entry on arrival, do I need to cancel my non-o before I do so at CM Immi? Or will it just be done automatically without needing to do so? I also have a mutliple-reentry permit. Thanks again for your help in these matters!
