Hi, I tried to search for this topic, but could not find it on this site!

 

Can anybody please recommend a visa run / border bounce company in Pattaya?

 

The country does not matter, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos, etc. and neither does the time frame (I can stay for days if necessary).

 

My buddy has been on covid extensions for over a year, and according to some people on this forum, if he flies, he may face problems at the airport when he arrives back in Thailand.

 

Therefore, he feels it could be prudent to go to a neighboring country by land, using a reputable agency.

 

Thank you in advance for your help/advice!

There is a recent topic about going to Ban Pakard for entry to Cambodia.

This company was mentioned in it from Pattaya. https://visa-run.com/en/

Try Maneerat Soi post office 13\2 see if they've started, used to do 4 buses a day pre covid

Just a note for long term planning ...

 

If your friend intends staying for many more months in Thailand, border bounces for visa exempt entries (two allowed per calendar year) will be fine (in conjunction with extensions) for 2022. Starting at the beginning of 2023, he needs to carefully plan acquiring tourist visas, and it will not always be easy. Flying out of Thailand is never a problem so, for instance, you can fly to Vientiane, get a tourist visa there, and return by land. Returning by air to either of the Bangkok airports, even with a tourist visa, is fraught with danger, though you will be lucky more often than not. All embassies/consulates in the region impose some limits on issuing you tourist visas these days. The restrictions depend on the individual consulate. If your application for a visa is unexpectedly denied, the visa exempt entry by land becomes your emergency fallback option.
