misterworldwide Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Now that the border is effectively open, how long do you think it will be before the old school visa run threads return? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaiyaTH Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 (edited) Well as soon the borders regionally open to each other they would be back soon enough, as long they can afford insurance and the like. However I doubt they actually have to 'run for a visa' after all this (both less strict enforcement as well easier visa options in the region incoming). Most people in general however told me they rather wait to see another 6 months what happens in the world before taking the risk of holidays far away. Mainly as they could end up in another lockdown, may that be here or in Vietnam etc whilst they barely have money on a monthly basis.

ChaiyaTH Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Have to add, most of those backpackers and visa runners would not even be able to afford the 100-150K hospital bills in cash, if the insurance didn't pay out right away or something would happen with a positive test result and asymptomatic. If they did, they most likely didn't run for their visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsari Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 The present covid extension 60 days 1900 baht could well become the norm . Just drop the word covid and all systems go . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just drop the word covid and all systems go . I agree. When borders start to b e more 'open', they will probably limit how many times you can do the 60-day ext before you must leave. The old one-time 30-days extension is outdated in the current travel climate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThLT Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 The border needs to be open for two countries, not just one. ???? Right now only the Thai border is open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
