It's 20,000 if you want it to not take 18 hours.

As someone who's done said border run over 40 times, you're basically looking at 2-3 days lost work due to fatigue from the bus trip, along with the cost.

So for someone who is actually working online in Samui, extending at immigration is both easier and much cheaper.

@Maurice *********

going out and coming back is a fine solution if you live in Phuket or near BKK. If you live in Samui/KPG going out and coming back either takes a whole day or costs you 20,000 baht.

So if someone does actually have all their paperwork and can present it at immigration, that's simply going to be a better option than traveling. Don't assume everyone is in BKK and/or has access to cheap flights.

@Wannikea ********

obviously not everyone lives in Samui or Phangan where doing a border run costs 20,000 baht

@Christopher *******

depends where you live.

You don't have a job so just apply for a soft power DTV.

Jakarta Phnom Penh Vientiane HCMC etc

@Kem ****

it's as valid asking how to change a tyre.

This group is DTV. Not just questions about anything Thailand.

Please delete nothing to do with dtv

You just transfer the visa to your new passport

E-commerce isn't considered working in Thailand. It's entirely what this visa is aimed at. You just need to show proof of it.
