Border Runs Limit

[devaram]

How many times can you go to the border back to back for 15 day stamp?

[Mario2008]

There is no limit. But there are reports that after 4 times they will investigate you, to see if you are not working illegaly.

What do you mean investigate?

The last time I went to Mae sai they handed out a flier that gave specifit limits maybe 4 times but I dont remember now?

This is the first report I have seen of any such paper being give out; anywhere. When was your trip? Could you perhaps find the flier?

Immigration did announce a limit of 4 overland entries. You would then have to do an airport entry.

That was two months ago and there has not been any public announcement or report of it happening to anyone. That is why I would like to see the above mentioned flier; or at least know the time-frame it was issued.

every two weeks...it'd be like self flagellation

Yes - but it was not that many years ago (well perhaps it was that many years - just does not seem like it to use old folks) that visa exempt entry was only 14 days and extensions required an Embassy letter of your good looks if you wanted to stay longer.

I understand that there was never any public announcement of a limitation of visa-exempt entries on land borders but that on the contrary immigration intended this as a covert operation to flush out possible illegal foreign workers. See here. However, as happens often in such cases, this did not remain a secret for long, perhaps because some immigration officers did not understand fully or correctly the instructions they received.

Man , give it up. Do you live in a tiny border town that you can walk to the border immigration?

If they made it everyday would you go in and out everyday?

I used to ride all the way to Ban Had Lek from Pattaya on the motor bike.

(I didn't know how to find Popiet or Ban Lem)

Some would be attracted to join the daily at dawn runners. Self flagellation comes to mind.
