Return from no mans land to extend OA Visa

[rhodie]

I want to do a border hop before my oa visa expires to extend by the full year. Can I exit Thailand and return without entering the neighbouring country?

[Crossy]

No!

 

The Thai entry official will be looking for the exit stamp from the other country, no stamp, no entry.

Thanks Crossy.

It wouldn't be a border hop if you didn't exit then re-enter.

 

Remember, although you'll get another 1 year permission to stay, your Visa and the rights to multiple entries will have expired.

You'll need a re-entry permit if you want to leave during this second year period to keep any remaining permission to stay valid.
