Visa Run Or Nathong Stamped

[Saijai]

Hello all!

Was wondering if anyone knew what would be best for me to do... I am here in Samui for 4 months and my initial 60 days is coming to an end.

So the dreaded visa run is due. I was here before in 2004 but the rules have changed since. Apparently if I go to Burma it will only give me 15 days

and If I got to Malaysia it will give me one month. (or so they said)

If I go to Nathong and get my Visa Stamped will it be a stamp for 1 month or 15 days?

Any responses would be great!

Thanks!

You should get 30 days at Nathon. If I remember correctly it costs 1900 baht

[PoorSucker]

All land borders will give you 15 days.

By air, 30 days.

[Lite Beer]

Yes. 30 days at Immigration 1,900 Baht.

30 days arriving by air.

15 days arriving by land.

A bit late but you should have got a double entry visa before you arrived.

I've been here a few years now and every time I think I understand the visa rules, they go and change them!!!

[PoorSucker]

A border run can be made in a day.

I recommend julies visa run.

[screamingeagle]

Then you just have to go to the border to get your second entry activated.

Thet will give you 60 days more.

1920b...and they close at 12 so go before 11 or after 1pm....

herbert for crazy visa run is opposite, but with last ferry leaving at 6 one day border run is an adventure.

Can I get it stamped at Nathon only once? Cannot remember. Also does anyone know what the over stay fine is daily?

[PoorSucker]

You can only do the extension once per entry.

If you make an extension now you must go for a border run in 30 days.

Overstay is 500 baht/day.

Will any border do? Some people in the internet cafes have been saying that I need to stay over night in Malaysia. Or are they just trying to rip me off. ? Gosh you never know...

[PoorSucker]

They are probably talking about getting a visa in Malaysia.

The border run you can make in one day.

Juliee leaves on the first ferry and comes back to the 5.00 PM ferry.

Thanks really appreciate the info! So I can just cross the border in Burma and then they will see I have 2 entries and then they

will stamp it with 60 days?

Julie takes you to Malaysia.

No visa into Malaysia, Visa fee for Burma.

Just write down the visa number on your arrival card.

Check that the stamped you for 60 days, they make mistakes all the time.

[Lite Beer]

As said , Burma will cost you $10 to enter. Malaysia will not. There and back in a day if you wish.

Give Julie a call and go down to Malaysia. However if you prefer you can extend each visa by 30 days in Nathon which would give you 6 months instead of 4.
