  1. The IO has the right to question any travellers and believe me many of these DTV visa holder don't know the Gym or Cooking School they bought the paperwork from. There have been reports of DTV denied entry, just last week at least 2 French.
  2. just look at the updated page of www.thaivisaservice.com, plenty of choices to stay and if in doubt contact them to arrange a Safe Entry.
  3. Currently www.thaivisaservice.com offer Safe Entry at BKK thb2500. With DTV just THB2000.
  4. you should keep in mind that Thailand and Russia have a bilateral agreement that basicly give both passport holder unlimited access to each other country, limited to 30days.
  5. Currently , back to back possible, without limit. Plenty of visa run companies in Vietnam.
  6. more confusion. I understand that people choose other destinations. This constant flip flop has already pushed many people to Vietnam, which has a stable policy. Many Airlines also started direct flights to Vietnam, bypassing Thailand as a transit point.
  7. Nong Khai is not a good option for a quick OUT-IN anymore.
  8. we at www.thaivisaservice.com can offer Safe Entry at BKK as low as THB2500 as long as the customer had just a few VE stamps in 2025.
  9. Trip Report: Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport to Wang Kelian, Malaysia via Hat Yai Airport Many people have asked for an alternative to international flights or for the van trips to Savannakhet (Laos) or Vientiane (Laos), either to obtain a 60-day entry stamp or to activate another entry of their DTV. After checking many options, we completed our first run on 13 January, and it was successful. From now on we plan to make this trip every Wednesday and Saturday. We decided to take flight FD4202 at 08:30 to Hat Yai and then continue to the Wang Kelian border crossing (Malaysia). For the return, you can book any flight departing Hat Yai after 17:00. Why Hat Yai and Wang Kelian? The idea is that travelers from Pattaya or other areas can also easily join the trip. This border is easy to reach from Hat Yai and works well for a same-day border run. Other border options have certain disadvantages: Chiang Khong / Chiang Saen / Nong Khai / Mukdahan (Laos borders): most Western passport holders require a Laos visa on arrival. Ranong (Myanmar border): connections are not very convenient. Other Malaysia borders: Tak Bai: cannot be completed in one day. Sadao: often very busy with heavy traffic. Padang Besar: not suitable for a border run. With flight FD4202, you arrive at Hat Yai Airport around 09:50 AM. Exit the airport via Exit 7 or 8, pass the taxi stands, and go to the area next to the 7-Eleven in the parking lot, approximately 70 meters from the exit. The van will be waiting there. The trip to the border takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes. At the border, the van parks in front of Immigration. The driver will assist you and guide you to the Thai Immigration booth. After stamping out, walk about 50 meters to the Malaysian side. There is a booth where you will be stamped into and out of Malaysia within a few minutes (no MDAC required). Then walk back to the Thai side to receive your re-entry stamp. Please make sure you have completed the Thai Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) and check your stamps carefully before leaving. Once the process is completed, return to the van. At the border, there are a few small shops selling drinks and snacks, but no duty-free shops. The entire procedure took us about 40 minutes; on weekends, it may take a bit longer. The return trip from the border to Hat Yai Airport also takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes. We will drop you at the airport to catch your return flight or continue with any other itinerary you may have. We do not provide food, so please bring some snacks. As mentioned, there are small shops at the border but no 7-Eleven or restaurants. You can eat at the airport before your departure. You will enjoy this trip. Expenses: Flights: depend on how early you book; roughly THB 1,200 each way if booked well in advance. Our service: THB 4,500 per person, which includes transfers and border assistance. This is organized by www.thaivisaservice.com If you plan to do this trip on your own, expect costs of approximately THB 3,500 for taxi/van transport and around THB 2,000 at the border.
  10. Does TVC actually put the THB800k into your bank?
  11. just checked the updated websites of www.thaivisaservice.com , they do runs Thursdays, Saturday, Sunday and Tuesdays. www.meesuktravel.com goes to Laos as well.
  12. The final decision lies with the respective IO that you are facing and the general rule that a particualr border check point has implemented. In theory no restriction about the number of entries.
  13. Why are you so concerned about border hop? Do you know the actual figures? I can tell you the figures and if the government act on these few people than they should set the priority right.
  14. Certain nationalities didn't have limitations , others were clearly under the 1 n 2 rule. Ban Pakkard is not giving warning stamps, they follow the rule and certain countries will not be stamped at all.
  15. try it out. I guess no visa has been approved yet as it has been released on 15th July only.
  16. Early morning Thai Immigration still stamped 30 days at Airport/Land borders. Afternoon around 16:00 news spread that PM signed order with immediate effect and Airport/Land borders started to stamp 60days. This 60days visa exempt works like a Tourist visa, it can be extented and changed to another visa category inside Thailand. Some members have pointed out that some countries appear on both list, this is possible as Thailand has not changed the respective agreements with the other country, example Russia is on VOA and on 30days Bilateral Agreement (increased to 60days up to 31st October) and now appear on this 60 days visa exempt. Remark: the limit of two border run in a calendar year (1.1-31.12) still remain in effect, meaning if you used up your allowance already earlier this year you need to, either, fly in or get a visa or wait until next year to come in via Land border.
  17. Don't blame Thailand. You stay here and do not know the rules.
  18. This not true, plenty of people that give advise. The only place at Myanmar side that is open is Ranong.
  19. Picture says it all. Once I get the first farang I'll post it here as well.
  20. This Sheet is on website of Thai Embassy New Delhi with SPECIFIC REMARK: https://newdelhi.thaiembassy.org/en/content/new-thailand-s-visa-measures?cate=614489badd57933bb40edbf2 Note: the effective date will be announced upon the completion of final procedures.
