visa run companies - what's the position?

[wilcopops]

Since the changes in regulations how have visa run companies fared?

Have they all gone out of business?

Have the new regulations changed anything significantly?

I would have thought that the majority of people doing visa runs would have either been on 60 day tourist visas or non immigrant Os, so the basic traffic wouldn't change? Or was it a case of a large proportion being 30 DAY turnarounds and their business has dropped dramatically?

Has the 30 extension for visa-free visitors damaged business?

How much of their business do they think in the end relied on people "living" in Thailand on 30 day visa-less entries?

Wilc, for sure theyve been affected.

I uuse to use a company to go to Cambodia, I went back in June/july after the crackdown on exempt entries and there was only three of us making the trip. Now instead of going everyday it's just twice a week.

I guess with the less people arriving at Cambodia border thats the reason why they put the visa fee up by 10 dollars?
