ryanhull Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Hi All, Sorry if this post has already been covered, I am here on a standard 30 day tourist visa in Bangkok, I hold a UK passport. I want to do a visa run to extend my visa by another 30 days, bit confused on the whole visa run, some say I cannot go by bus and get a 30 days only 7 but other sites say I can, I am wondering if anyone knows the easiest way to do this from Bangkok by land?

Sceptict11 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 You do not have a visa ! Entering another country and returning will give you another "visa exempt entry" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanhull Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 Ah thanks for your reply Sceptict11, so basically if I get the bus to Cambodia, and as I come back through to Thailand border I can get another 30 days? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 You can get a new 30 day visa exempt entry (not a visa) at the Cambodia border. It is not an extension which is what the 7 days would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanhull Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 ah brilliant, would you advise using a company? or can I just make my own way on a regular bus? thnx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sceptict11 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) Try Google ! Many "visa" run options ! ah brilliant, would you advise using a company? or can I just make my own way on a regular bus? thnx Edited January 19, 2014 by Sceptict11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 You can get a bus or use one of the companies doing the run (check Google for visa run Bangkok to Cambodia). If doing it yourself for the first time you can expect to be taken by some touts for the visa (and etc) to Cambodia. Easy way is to get an e-visa.

ryanhull Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 my mate tells me I can only get a 15 days if I go by land and he says to go by air to Kuala Lumpur for 30 days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 my mate tells me I can only get a 15 days if I go by land and he says to go by air to Kuala Lumpur for 30 days? Since the first of November 2013 because you are from the UK you and others from the G7 countries get a 30 day entry at a border crossing instead of 15 days that others get.

ryanhull Posted January 19, 2014 Author Share Posted January 19, 2014 ah fair enough, well thanks for your help, looking forward to blowing my mate out too, cheers all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seasia Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 ah brilliant, would you advise using a company? or can I just make my own way on a regular bus? thnx Hi For your first time, I`d suggest using a visa run company, a decent one will take care of paperwork etc and make it hassle free. Choice yours of course. I`ve only done visa runs from Pattaya so can`t help you with Bangkok specific recommendations. Yes, as said as a UK passport holder you will get another 30 days visa exempt entry for Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignis Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Another easy option fly DM to Mae Sot, try for a day with Promotion Fare = 833 baht each way amd takes 1 hour flight time each way... 50 baht each way by Tuk Tuk to Bridge, get stamped out of Thailand, walk accross get stamped in and out [500 baht fee or $10 and just a small stamp only 1x in + 1x out] walk back get your 30 days at Thai Border and back to airport.......... Sure beats sitting in a Mini Bus for hours and a full page Cambodia Visa + the 4 stamps in and out on another page...... New UK Passports are not cheap.

benden25 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Why not just go to Penang and get a 60 day tourist visa? Its a quick one day process and Penang is an awesome city to explore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukrules Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 A new option is to go to Burma Ban Phu Nam Ron. I went there today and got 30 days. It's a lot nearer to Bangkok than Cambodia and you can get to see Kanchanaburi if you want as well (Bridge over river Kwai), Erawan falls, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
