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,

Just looking for advice regarding my situation. I know there's a lot of advice already posted, I know that the easiest thing to do is probably just to pay a border agent, but I want to ask for advice anyway.

I first arrived in Thailand in August of '22, then recieved a Non-B (legitimately) in September through the company (teaching agency) that hired me. I worked for that company until March '24, then went back to the US. I returned to Thailand in early January for a wedding and realized I didn't really want to live in the USA anymore. I was able to secure another job for the next academic year (signed contract and everything), but that won't start until May. My 60 days are up in March - what's the best course of action? Should I leave before the 60 days are up and then try to return (after a few days or weeks) without getting the 30 day extension first? Should I just go somewhere else until May?

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.
