Is it possible to cross the border at Ban Pakkad (บ้านผักกาด) and re-enter on the same day without the aid of an agency like Bangkok Buddy or Thai Visa Service?

I also used this company 2 months ago. Very professional and honest. As I got in the van the gentlemen said if my visa run fails he would return my money. Everything went smoothly and I will use them again for sure.
Their website is a bit outdated. The photo is no longer required.

Thank you for your reply. Did you get a full-page Cambodian visa sticker in your passport?

Has anyone done a border run with Bangkok Buddy? Would anyone recommend their service?

You will need a copy, firstly to check in at the airport or they may assume you are going visa exempt.

Guy checking me in at LHR only looked at my passport and then started quizzing me about how long I was staying. I pointed out the piece of paper in my passport and he had to call someone, never heard of an E-visa.

Which airline did you fly with from LHR?

No way.

No offense I won't even bother with the link.

Extensions will remain at 30 for visa exempt and TV entries. 

According to the Pattaya Mail (which may not be a very reliable source), 45+45 was proposed by the Tourist Authority of Thailand. It's a shame the proposal was not adopted.

"The Tourist Authority of Thailand is pressurizing the government to allow most vacationing foreigners to visit Thailand for up to three months without obtaining a visa from their local Thai embassy abroad. Visitors from 64 countries (including Brits, Russians, Australians, Americans and most mainland Europeans) are already visa-exempt. They obtain 30 days free-of-charge on arrival which can be extended for a further month at Thai immigration on payment of 1,900 baht. If the Thai Cabinet, as expected, accepts the proposal, these periods would become 45-plus-45 days for a total of three months."

Good news for tourists.

Makes 45+30 (with extention)

Attractive compared to 60+30 tourist visa option..

Are you sure it will be 45+30?

Some people seem to think it will be 45+45.

I want to apply for a single-entry tourist visa. The e-visa website allows you to upload “invitation letters from family/friends in Thailand” as proof of accommodation (document no. 5).

Has anyone done this successfully? What does the letter need to say? Should it be written in Thai or English?

Any advice would be most welcome.

Proof of accommodations are not required for a single entry tourist visa application.

You may be required to provide a ticket out of the country within 60 days to do the application.

Requirements are here: https://thaiembdc.org/2020/11/05/trsingle_entry/

You will do the application on the e visa site.

You can get a single re-entry permit to keep the remainder of the 60 day entry and or the 30 day extension of it valid when you enter the country.

 

And yet the Thai embassy in London says that proof of accommodation is required for a single-entry tourist visa.

I would like to go to Thailand for 90 days. I plan to apply for a 60-day single-entry tourist e-visa and extend it once I get there. If I book outbound and return flights 90 days apart and upload the booking confirmation as document no. 4, can my application be rejected because my return flight is not within the initial 60-day period?
