Hello everyone, might be a weird question but what is the possibility of getting rejected if you stay not more than 6 months every year with one border run as a USA citizenship entering Thailand?Thank you very much for answers in advance 🙏

I have just done a visa run after a 60 + 30 days.

Flew to Vientiane from DMK. Advise you get an e-visa for Loas as visa on arrival queue was biblical and slow.

Arrived back today. IO wanted to know when I was leaving so produced my flight booking which will be 4 days before my new visa exemption runs out.

So back in Thailand.

Any recommendations for a visa next year.

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.

When i arrive at DMK next week and get a 60 day VOA and extend another 30. Can I do a border run say to Laos by land crossing, stay a few weeks for sightseeing then return to Thailand and get another 60 days VOA and extend another 30 days.

Fly to Bali and back to Thailand and get another 60 days plus 30 or is that pushing it?

I don't understand the reason why they send a tourist out of the border, and then return shortly after, just to have a stamp (free of charge by the way) in the passport... they could have given it to me at the immigration office...!

My best friend (British) is staying with me whilst I do my internship in Thailand 🥳. I know she can stay 60 days visa free and apply for a 30 day extension but how likely is she to get another 90days in Thailand? Can she just do a border run and go through the same process again? (60 day visa free entry+ another extension)

How likely would it be to get rejected (she’s never been in Thailand before ☺️)

Is it a good idea to get DTV visa pre-emptively? I will not be in Thailand for much time most likely this year or next but I do know I will be spending significant amount of time here sometime in the next 5 years and I don’t want to deal with the hassle of border runs then. I am not sure if I will be able to apply for DTV then as the program might be changed.

Would you recommend the DTV for me then?

Hi, What happens if my non imm O visa trough e-visa will be approved while i’m in Thailand with visa exemption?

It will be activated when i’ll enter the next time or? If it is the case the 90 days will start from the approval date or from the date that i’ll re enter the following time?

I am in 60 day visa exempt. How many times can I leave for a couple days and come back? How many days do I get on return?
