Satun border you can same day but it costs around 1900b

My daughter inlaw was turned back to Malaysia on her third bounce. She had to fly back into Thailand .

@Nicole *******

no just walk upto immigration no entry card and they will do the work

A friend did the land border in Satun from Trang in half a day. They do charge a fee of either 1200b or 1500b for the service

Kota Bharu is great travel down on a Saturday apply on Sunday and back to Thailand on Monday afternoon. Check they work Sunday to Thursday closed Friday and Saturday Muslim work week

As you have a multi entry you need to leave Thailand. Look at a cheap air ticket to Malaysia.( Air Asia or Lion Air) down and back in 1 day unless you want to spend a couple of days down there.

check they maybe able to extend the visa which is no major headache.

I recently did my 90 day report online and it was back the same day. It all depends on how many requests they get for the time it takes. First time online it maybe a little slower

From. Nakhon we have been several times to Kota Bharu consulate. Drop the application in on a Sunday and its back Monday afternoon. Penang is nice for a visit however visa applications can take 3 days. Kota Bharu you can get the early Train from Nakhon to Sungi Kolok and go across the border to Malaysia and get a taxi to Kota Bharu. If you arrive early enough lodge the form then hotel overnight collect your passport the next day at 2 pm
