pomuc2 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Hello At the moment I live in Phuket, using single tourist visa. I have already extended it for 30 days, and now it expire at 20 of April I would like to stay here for 2 weeks more, and after fly to home. I know there are a lot of rules have changed, so I ma not sure what to do. I am from Russia, and got permission to stay in Thailand for 30 days on arrival. But now I heard a lot of information, that it is not possible to get that border run once.. For information - in my passport there is only 1 stamp for 30 days on arrival, which was made 2 years ago. + single tourist visa which I use now. I know people before drive to Ranong, but now, how I know, they can do not allow you to enter the country. Any solutions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Since you will not be doing a back to back visa exempt entry you can make a border run and get a 30 day entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pomuc2 Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 Sorry, cant get the meaning of "back to back visa exempt entry". Could you explain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 A visa exempt entry is the 30 days you will get on entry. Back to back would mean you were on one now and trying to get another one. Since you have been on a tourist visa you will not have a problem getting a 30 day entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pomuc2 Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 ok, now I get it, thanks. Doesn`t matter where to do that border run? May be better to go to HatYai (At Dannok) instead of Ranong? I heard about "bad" cases in Ranong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nasa123 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 Take a flight to Kuala Lumpur and back same day, no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pomuc2 Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 I have checked the fly prices... not so low, and exactly in 21st is the best price and best time. Is it possible to fly out in 21 if I got visa until 20 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 You would pay an overstay fine of 500 baht if you left on the 21st from Phuket. The best border crossing would be Pedang Baser. Sadao Dannok is not friendly and might even tell you that you have to spend the night out of the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pomuc2 Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 So finally, in conclusion, there is a few possibilities:1) fly to KL and back at the same day (if make 1 day overstay, and pay 500 bat in airport, there will not be any problems on coming back)2) drive to Pedang Besar, cross the border and get back in the same day.3) drive to Dannok, and be under risk, to stay for 1 night at some guesthouse, and get back to Thailand next dayp.s. - Better do not drive to Ranong Is everything correct? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
technologybytes Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 As stated in the first response, you will get 30 days at a border with no fuss. Just for clarity, it's not your visa that expired, it was your entry stamp. Thai visas do NOT have an expiry date, only a "enter by" date. It was not your visa that was extended, it was your stay that was extended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nasa123 Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 If you take Air Asias last flight from Phuket then 20 time 21.40, then you be in Kuala Lumpur 00.05 then 21 Mars, and take the flight back to Phuket in the morning 07.25 21 Mars then you have 30 days, and the cost price are 4220 Bath.

No Apologist Posted April 3, 2015 Share Posted April 3, 2015 If you take Air Asias last flight from Phuket then 20 time 21.40, then you be in Kuala Lumpur 00.05 then 21 Mars, and take the flight back to Phuket in the morning 07.25 21 Mars then you have 30 days, and the cost price are 4220 Bath. Wow, that's actually pretty cheap still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingdoc Posted April 4, 2015 Share Posted April 4, 2015 K.L. is a good option! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomtomtom69 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Overstaying is never a good idea and therefore it's better to leave before the end of the expiration of your entry permit or extension. You can leave across any border even the one from Ranong to Kawthoung. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
