How many Visa runs


Recommended Posts

Hello, I would like to know how many visa runs i can get away with before eventually being refused entry into Thailand. Can i get refused entry?. I am talking the normal 30 day visitor visa. Basically i want to stay in Thailand a long time. I dont have the funds to go for any other type of visa. My funds will come as an allowance and a bit of wheeling and dealing. Kind regards

There is no 30 day visitor "visa"

Obtaining visa exempt entries on a regular monthly basis will at some point be noted by immigration officials who may determine to A) refuse entry or B} give a restricted 7 day entry thus enabling your departure. C) Refuse any further use of a particular border crossing.

If by "wheeling and dealing" you mean working that is illegal without an appropriate visa and work permit.

Penalties for illegal working can be severe and include the possibility of fines. jail time and deportation.

If you don't have the funds for tourist visa, how can you have the funds for travelling in and out of the country every month??

Maybe the OP has factored in the monthly cost of transport and visa entries to other countries and decided that long term border hopping is cheaper than obtaining a tourist visa !

How can it cost less to get out of the country every month!! Less than a double entry tourist visa!!

There is no limit If arriving by air.

But arriving by land border crossing can cause problems if +/-4 or more times the same border crossing is used in a row.

This depends on the officer in question.

Getting back to back 30 day visa exempt entries by air has no limits.

Doing border crossings back to back for exempt entries (15 or 30 days dependent upon nationality) do have limits imposed at many border crossings. It varies from 3, 4, 5 or none.

I cannot see how doing them could be less costly than making a trip out of the country for a two entry tourist visa.

OP don't wrote where he lives/want to live. If near Malaysian border or example Mae Sai/Mae Sot and if he gets 30 days by land, then it would be much less.

exactly what Thailand needs, another low on cash "wheelin' and dealin'" kind of guygiggle.gif .

Just wonder why people don't take care to be financially set before moving to a country with limited work/earning opportunities ?

all the "wheelin' and dealin'" types trying to live here long term make it more and more difficult for the ''made a commitment married to Thai's'' type
