sabaiguy Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 I am currently in Chiang Rai on a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (First entry) I need to do a border bounce in about 2 weeks. I've done this numerous times in the past (pre covid). As I understand Mae Sai is open for business now. True? What concerns me is that I thought I read on some forum that you can't do a border bounce at a land border on a e-visa (mine is an e-visa issued at LA). Anyone heard of this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caldera Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 You can do a border bounce there. Using a valid eVisa at a land border isn't a problem, there's no such restriction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabaiguy Posted May 20, 2023 Author Share Posted May 20, 2023 Thanks. I assume it's valid, got me in the country in the first place. How does one get an invalid e-visa? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry that was just a dig at another recent topic on here, where a poster wrote that he attempted to re-enter Thailand with an expired eVisa. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcalaska Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 Please follow up with a report how it goes at Mai Sai. It was the very best border bounce location pre-covid. No BS. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabaiguy Posted May 20, 2023 Author Share Posted May 20, 2023 Yes. In the past is was very smooth. The Myanmar IO's would even ask if I was going to do a "turn around" or wanted to do some shopping. I almost looked forward to it. My wife loves going for the shopping on Thai side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chalky0w Posted May 20, 2023 Share Posted May 20, 2023 I did this exact bounce with METV eVisa a few months ago. Link to my post but don’t think you need anything more than printout of eVisa, passport and 500baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
