Ratchaburi border run

[fry30]

Hi everyone,

I need to get a 1 month visa exemption, I'm living near Ratchaburi, what would be the nearest place to get it?

Also could they deny it without a warning stamp before?

If you already have a visa exempt entry you can apply for a 30 day extension at immigration (new rules).

If you have do not have more than one previous exempt entry you could do a border crossing for one if you have one from flying in.

Not sure but I think Cambodia would be the nearest border crossing.

If you have a vehicle Cambodia , if you want to make a trip out of it , train from Ratchaburi overnight to Padang Besar .

I got educational visa then business then tourist then few visa exemptions then tourist again and very short business visa.

My passport is new with my last visa which expired tomorrow.

I was thinking to go to Myanmar that's very near from here, is there any border near Ratchaburi in Myanmar?

[ubonjoe]

The only one that does not require getting a visa for Myanmar in advance is Mae Sot.

Can go Thai-Cambodia border, but you can still try to extend by 30days at Thai Immigration

What about Ban Phu Nam Ron? is it a new border? can I get 30 days exemption there?

You now have to get a visa for Myanmar from their embassy in Bangkok to cross there.

Myanmar stopped doing border passes there a few months ago.

Thanks Ubonjoe, so now it's clear that I have to go to cambodia, it's going to be a long trip...

Do you know as well if they give a warning before refusal of visa exemption?

[ubonjoe]

They tell you when you leave the country or turn you back.

But you will not have a problem because you do not have recent exempt entry.

Only those that have one and then want go out and return to get another one would have a problem.

[fry30]

so one could take tourist visa then exemption then tourist then exemption again and so on? or maybe it would just become harder to get the tourist visa.

Anyway I just need one more month then I will work abroad.

So they will inform me if I can come back to Thailand before to let me go to Cambodia?

I got like 4 exemption visas 4 months ago, so do you think that's ok?

[ubonjoe]

You should not have a problem. Your visa broke the chain of those.

[fry30]

thank you very much for your answer, that's reassuring

There should be more.

Tachilek / Mae Sai

Three Pagodas pass (contrasting reports)

Kawthoung / Ranong (no visa exempt entry)

Posted for completeness, not to suggest OP should go there.

I only mentioned Mae Sot because that is the only one close to Ratchaburi where the OP is located.

Assuming you do not already have two visa exempt entries by land in 2019, you can leave Thailand and reenter at a land crossing and receive a 30-day visa exempt entry.
