i understand exactly what you're telling, bangkok is a city of money, and money talk,10-15k is not a small chunk to spend  on visa run, is who you know and not what you know

It sounds like he may be ok. They would check for bad visas when he gets his extensions

you are absolutly correct, you would not pass imigration if the visa is fake, all my extention are done in bangkok, not out in the booney.

you under estimated the power of lawyer, when i say lawyer i don't mean the one that run their bussiness in a shop-house, i don't deal with those people. high profile lawyer have access to almost anything and everything, they might be expensive but they do wonder, and everything they do is legal with(with) a little twist

i have a question? how many of you actually live in bangkok, i know most of you live in the booney somehwere, like phuket, pataya, etc..

if you want a real deal bangkok is the place to do business, not in the booney.

there is a phrase that say: i know a friend, that know a friend, that know the priminister      

thank you marcchiesa for sharing your visa run, quite interesting, i think Myanmar border is a bad border to cross, reason is drug trade, all those yabba seem to come from that part of the country

in Laos there is a city call (Luang Pra Bang) does anybody know if there is any thai counselet there.

as an American you must be paid 40,000 per month for a work permit

I didn't know it cost that much for work permit, well i never work in bangkok before, how about the main office any job there, i just need something to do

(Sandwich Artists) i like that word  

pantarei is right nobody can't beat McD, they make $billion not $million ok, $billion........

yes i can do that go home and make a visa and return, but the thing is the flight is way to long, flying to US cost 20-30k baht, if i have to pay that much why don't i just pay my lawyer 10k baht and get it over with.

people you all have it all wrong, let me explain one more time,

im under the age of 30, i do not work in thailand, i'm financial stable, i have a good lawyer that take care of my visa for me, and i do trust me lawyer cause he a well know lawyer in bangkok, i don't do my visa in sadoa, i have been doing business with him for 2 year now, i have not have any trouble about my visa for the last 2 yr i been here in bangkok, i even go to extend for 30day extra after every 2 month, and the papper work is fine and legal, yes the lawyer might cost some money, but atleast thing goes well, trouble free.

at the moment i want to try new method of doing my visa on my own, without the lawyer invole, if something might go wrong i could always return to the lawyer, i know that all you have to do is cross border and come back to thailand and you get 30 day permit stay, the point is i want to get a visa or a multiple visa, not just 30day stay

*dr_Pat_Pong has answer one of my question for me, (with a 30day entry with out visa you can only extend 10 more extra day)

*second- when i cross border and return to thailand and got a 30day stay without visa, can i go to bangkok immigrantion office and make a visa on arrival? if(if) can that mean i will have 1 or 2 month stay plus i will extend for another 30day.

i want to see if i can do the visa cheaper than my lawyer does

*third- if anybody that have been doing visa run before and want to share the experience, please feel free to share it with me, so that i know what to and what not to do, and which border you cross and which border to saty away from  

*one important info i like to know, crossing to "Lao" border there is a city near the border call (Luang Pra Bang) is there a counselor office there or any place in that city that i can make a tourist visa.

thank you

If you are an Thai national...please go to the Nana store on Sukhumvit next to the Landmark and ask for Khun Naravadee. She'll be happy to talk with you. That store is hiring, as we are serving over 400 customers a day.

sorry im Asian American, im not a Thai national, can i still get a job  

Stuccy....make it easy....get a visa from a Thai Embassy or Consulate  at home.

im in bangkok at the mommemt, when you say home, what did you mean

thank you dr_Pat_Pong, for the info, so you mean i will get only 10day extention when the 30day stay is up, i guest the 30day extent only work for enter with visa.

another question, if i enter thailand with a 30day permit can i do a visa apon arrival in bangkok, like i say i know there are no counselor at the border only immigration office.

thank again for the info.

i understand wat you are saying, that is a good chunk of money that im wasting, at first i didn't know what to do or how to stay in thailand longer, but as time past by i realize i can do it on my own, that is why im asking so much question, all i need to know is

when i cross the combodia border and return to thailand, i know that i will get a 30day stay, can i still get an 30day extension, that mean when i enter thailand i won't have a visa but only a 30day permit stay, can i still extend 30 more day so that make it 2 month total stay lol

Are you 50 yrs or older....not married to a Thai...and got 800,000 baht that can go into a bank in Thailand ? Do you suspect that border crossings might have bad stamps ?

no im not over 50, and no im not married to a thai, money wise im pretty stable

Do you suspect that border crossings might have bad stamps ?

i don't quite understand you, all i want is to cross border and re-entry, like above what i explain.

first i like to say hello to all the people in the forum, im new to the board.

i would like to ask a few question if posible, i been living in thailand for 2 yr now, the way i did my visa was going through a lawyer in bangkok, he take care of all my visa need, ofcourse it is a tourist visa, double entry, 2 month stay each and extend 1 month, so its like i get 3 month stay for each entry, the whole thing cost me around 10k+ for the double entry tourist visa, and extra 1.9k baht for the extention, also 4k extra for the second entry fee, well it a long proccess. im holding a US pasport.

_first when i cross the combodia border and return to thailand, i know that i will get a 30day stay, can i still get an 30day extension, that mean when i enter thailand i won't have a visa but only a 30day permit stay, can i still extend 30 more day so that make it 2 month total stay

_second if i return to thailand on a 30day stay from combodia  can i do a visa apon arrival at the bangkok counselor, i know there are no counselor at the check point so you cannot do a visa apon arrival, there are only immigrant office, i don't think they will do it.

_finally anything that you like to add is a helpful and thank you.

or you can contact me at [email protected] maybe i can call you up and ask a few question, im now in bangkok
