In August last year, although I did not need one myself, I am pretty sure they were allowing border bounces for visa exempt entries. As @ubonjoe stated, pretty almost all (exception Poi Pet/Aran) border crossings will now allow visa exempt entries, subject to the 2-per-calendar-year limitation.

Thanks for this! My first and only land crossing so hoping all should be fine ?

Last time I checked you couldn't leave unless you had a valid visa, as you can't (or couldn't, things are fluid) get much further than Myawaddy.

But yeah if anyone has more recent info, would be great.

I would still have a valid visitors visa and would get a visa upon arrival (my passport allows this) for Myanmar when crossing through.

Hey all,

I'm needing to do my first and last visa run - whilst my work permit gets sorted - by the 16th of this month. Currently living in Phitsanulok and wanting to go to the Mae Sot border between Thailand and Myanmar.

Anyone been there recently who can confirm that it's open? All the forum posts on the topic are from mid-2017!

Thanks!
