ALEACH11 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Hi All, I know there have been a lot of posts on this subject, but they all seem a little old. I am in Bangkok on a multi-entry spouse visa and have to leave the country and re-enter next month. Which is the best way to do this. Is it fly to somewhere or are their border crossings that I could do crossing and come back easily? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 No need to do it by air. The nearest crossing to Bangkok is the Ban Phu Nam Ron in Kanchanaburi to Myanmar. You pay 960 baht for transport across no mans land and back that includes 500 baht for a Myanmar border pass. Or any of the crossings to Cambodia but the Poipet crossing.

elviajero Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 In case you’re unaware, you can extend your stay by 60 days if you want to delay a border run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrJack54 Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 OP, living in bkk so you have good options as ubonjoe already outlined. If wanting to include short break then flights to somewhere like Saigon are easy and not expensive. Many countries are visa exempt to Vietnam if your passport is one.

blindcloud Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I'm curious as to why you have to leave the country on your visa? I have a non-O visa based on marriage and just have to report my address every 90 days. I have a colleague at work who also says he has to leave the country every 90 days on his non-O visa, which he obtained outside on Thailand. Did you obtain your visa in Thailand or in another country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you obtain your visa in Thailand or in another country? There are big differences between a multiple entry Non O visa and what you have, which is a one-year extension of stay on the basis of marriage to a Thai.

The amount of people on here who have no idea what is in their passport is mind numbing. Edited July 9, 2019 by fishtank 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALEACH11 Posted July 14, 2019 Author Share Posted July 14, 2019 Thanks All, Ubonjoe why not Poipet? Is it is too busy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
