Hi. In the next few weeks my DTV is reaching 180 days. Since I don't want to go through IO I either plan a flight out or using a border run agency. What is the better/safer option to do it? I didn't find any information on DTV land border bounces so far.

Hey guys!

I entered Thailand as a tourist and received a 60 day entry stamp, I’ve used my 30 day extension, my 30 days are up soon. I’ve heard of a border run too extend my stay in Thailand. I have no idea how to go about it, Any advice on where would be the best bet to do so etc? I’m currently in Pattaya.

Maybe this is useful for someone, so i share my experience with ny first DTV extension in chengwattana yesterday. I have DTV under the soft power medical treatment category. I went there with an agent who knows I want to go the official route. I brought all documents. But the officer said that I needed 500k baht balance on my account for the last 30 days. I showed him a recently paid medical bill of 200k. The agent and officer agreed that they really shouldn’t expect people who can clearly afford living here to not touch the money for the category they applied and approved for. They said good you visited us now still have enough time to do a border run. He suggested to bring the same documents, especially proof of medical treatment if someone questions about the purpose of stay. Long story short: they were very friendly and don’t like their own rules but give advice on alternative solutions. I knew that the stamp isn’t guaranteed, just tried my luck. He said good thing swiss don’t need a visa for laos 😱

Hubby and I came in on Visa exempt 60 day, and have gotten the 30 day extension. It expires in March, we want to visit Kuala lumpur from Krabi. If we fly there and stay a couple nights, can we fly back to Krabi and get another 60 days? So much more to see and do here in Thailand. Thank you.

Hi. I a uk citizen and arrived here on a 60 day exemption from Philippines. I extended this for 30 day in Chiang Mai.

The extra 30 days will expire soon and my thinking is to go to Laos via Nong Khai then return to be able to extend my stay?

Can I return via the same land border and get another 60 day visa exemption stamp? If so, can I do this on the same day? Or do I need to go to the Thai embassy in Vientiane to get a tourist visa for Thailand? Alternatively, if I fly back to Bangkok from Laos, will I get another 60 day visa exemption?

Any clarity on this much appreciated.

Apologies if this a repeated question. I've read a lot of contrasting information on this and am pretty confused. It also sounds like the rules may have been changed recently.

Thanks in advance.

Hello. When I joined at Bangkok at the beginning of January. The immigration officer made a note and said that the next time I entered the country I must have the DTV visa.

Is this real?

Can I not do a boardrunni ng to Malaysia and enter Thailand on a tourist visa?

Best regards Peter Koh Samui
