There is no mercy. 7month overstay is a year ban.

I doubt that figures. THB60k was before they implemented the bio metric system. Nowadays I heard figures around TBb200-250k.

Of course your buddy has problem getting a double entry tourist visa, because it doesn't exist anymore. Years ago it has been replaced by the very difficult to obtain multiple entry tourist visa.

Yes, that is what they do.

and which border you usually use ?

You have to give something in return.

H How much you have? We go frequently to Cambodia.

The Russians don't interfere with other Tourist's, they just stay within their community, at least this is what I observed.

The next crackdown is written on the wall. To OP, are you completely naive? You post Immigration stamp, clear Reentry permit and you have no idea what you have.

Tour Companies is the better word and Bangkok as well Pattaya based Companies offer trips to Vientiane.

It is not her duty, do you think with how many people she deal with every day. Many years ago a Immigration Officer told me : Your passport, your responsibility.

Your biggest mistake was to go to that border in the first place. Other borders would have let you in with visa exemption stamp.

Not in Poi Pet, everyone that reads this Forum regulary should get it by now.

Savannakhet has recently becoming stricter and stricter. Not an easy destination anymore.

The first change to Unlimited visa run was 2006, hence afterwards the word "border run or border bounce" became established. "Visa Run" ,nowadays is used for Visa application at a Thai Embassy.

Russians have Unlimited access to Thailand, based on Bilateral Agreement signed 2005.

A couple of month ago I bought a iPhone8 (2nd hand), THB4000, runs iOS 16.3.1. I am a heavy user and no issues, runs smooth.

You are naive. Prepare THB20000 cash (no ATM before Immigration, onward travel ticket and a rental contract will help you at Airport.

and give others a chance to avoid them.

Believe me, he has his own agenda.

But he still has the "canceled" exit stamp from Cambodia, that tells every Thai IO the story. But should be Ok at Airport.

Agree, they handle other accounts.

The post is already a few days old and might have been solved already. We go often to Ban Laem and we know the procedure there, but something in Op story not add up. There is no reason why the IO would refuse you to exit. You got old passport, new passport and Letter, that is all they need to transfer. On the Cambodian side they put visa in your new passport and let you stamp in n out of Cambodia, then you head back to Thai side. Straight procedure. I only aware that for some tiny country like Maldives the Cambodians have refused the visa, because they have never seen the red Maldive passport.

Yes, a denied entry is still flagged in the system.

Looks like you were denied entry, not a serious problem, but they put a remark in the System. That is the reason you get questioned every time. A Tourist visa really not help. Suggest you enter on visa exempt and have cash ready (appr THB20000), a paid room booking for the entire stay and a paid reconfirmed return or onward flight ticket.
