Kirsty83 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Hello, I will be going to Kanchanaburi tomorrow to do a visa run, my first one. I have a Non-Imm ED visa which expires on 15th June. Someone on here was very knowledgable when I posted about this last month (I can't remember his username)!! Anyway, can I confirm if I need anything else besides my passport and fee? Passport photos? Copy of passport? Letter of cancellation from the school? Many Thanks Kirsty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 What do you plan on doing at the Ban Phu Nam Ron border crossing in Kanchanaburi? There is no embassy or consulate there to apply for a visa. If you are only wanting to get a new entry all you need is your passport and 960 baht for transport across no mans land to Myanmar and back again. The 960 baht includes the 500 baht fee for a Myanmar border pass. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just need it to tie me over for the next month. If need be, can I extend the visa exempt for another 30 days at immigration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b4n9 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) Sorry for hijack the thread, but I'm planing to do a border run to get another entry (I have a Thai VISA) and I have never been in Ban Phu Nam Ron before. I am willing to drive myself to get there, is that possible to go the border and just leave the vehicle somewhere, then cross into Myanmar do the stamps and get back or would be wise to use the locals? Thanks! Edited June 19, 2018 by b4n9 misspelling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could drive to the crossing and leave your vehicle. You will need to use the transport across no mans land. You cannot make the long walk to the Myanmar side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Google Map seems out of date for this area and I have no idea where there Offices are located. Because if I still have to take another transport to across "no mans land", I do not see the point to drive until there. Better use the local and pay 960 THB for the service, just trying to figure out which are the better way to get there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So drive there, leave the car (you can't drive across) and use the transport provided across the border and back It;s about a 8 minute drive across the border but again you can't do it yourself You can walk it but you will still probably be charged Edited June 19, 2018 by darrendsd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainPeacock Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Hello all, There's lots of threads here on "Visa runs to Kanchanaburi / Burma" ...I'm posting here as its the most recent date... First thing i notice reading these threads, is the the Burma side at Ban Phu Nam Ron border - officials can change their mind and STOP these runs on any day?! Anyway my info & questions: I have a new UK passport with: Thai visa: Non-Imm " O " I got the Multi Entry 12 month from London UK. NO STAMPS OTHER THAN ENTRY & 60 DAY EXTENSION. I arrived NOV 10 - 2018 ...as i was ill i could NOT do a visa run when the my 1st... 3 months were up, so i got a 60 day extension. Because i was ill i thought i leave Thailand around when the 60 days extension was up, however my health has improved so i want to do a visa run. my 60 day extension ends 7 April 2019. now i only need extension up-to 10 MAY 2019 as on this day i have a confirmed AIR ticket back to UK. I could do this 'Ban Phu Nam Ron' border run any day now? so my question is: 1) is the Thai IO going to question/suspect somethings going on because i don't need to leave until 7 April ? 2) will the Thai IO give me 90 days or whatever i need (i can show them my paper e-ticket) 3) is this 'Ban Phu Nam Ron border run' easy to do - has anyone here done it recently ? THANKS for any help! BTW...hopefully "ubonjoe" will be along shortly...???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No You can leave and re-enter at any time to get a new 90 day entry from your visa. 2. You will get a new 90 day entry without any questions be asked.3 3. It easy to do. It costs 960 baht for the crossing that includes transport across no mans and and back again and the 500 baht fee for the Myanmar border pass. The crossing is so reliable now that there is a company doing dailey runs from Bangkok to there now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
