Hello,

 

My embassy is a real pain in the ass to get letter of income, for example i waited 4 months to get my freedom of marriage certificate so i will try to avoid them this time...

 

I wonder how safe is it to make border runs using my non o visa i would like to make it via border and comeback the same day, i do live in hua hin area,what is the best option for me and how safe it it to be approved?

No problem to make border runs to get a new 90 day entry if you have a multiple entry non-o visa.

From Hua Hin the nearest border crossing is the Ban Phu Nam Ron crossing to Myanmar in Kanchanaburi.

Ban Phu Nam Ron (Kanchanaburi) is the best choice.

They won't let you leave unless they are going to let you back in so you can't get stuck. Do the run a couple of days before your current permission expires, just in case there's a problem, and you need a plan B.

 

After you've cleared Thai passport control you go to the rest area where someone in a small office will organise everything for you. It costs 950 baht (unless recently changed), which covers the cost of someone driving you to the Myanmar immigration and back, etc.. You don't need a visa for Myanmar, they just stamp you in and out again. It process usually takes about 1 hour.

Sorry to say that information is out of date.

 

On my last visit there the rest area had been recently closed.

The immigration officer who stamped me out told me to go with a Thai man hovering behind me.

 

I was taken to a small but around the back where after paying the fee mentioned I was told to wait there on the Thai side whilst the ' agent ' took mine and several other peoples passports over to Burma to get the required in / out stamps.

After 45 minutes when the guy had not returned I asked how much longer it would take. I was told the agent had already returned but must have forgotten about me. He was soon found and my passport returned after which I went to get my Thai re entry stamp.

 

I do not like this set up at all since apart from being illegal , if your passport is lost you will be massively inconvenienced.

 

I was thinking of going again this coming Monday but on account of this situation have decided Tak is a safer bet.

 

If anyone has more recent information from the last couple of weeks I would be glad to hear it.
