mlkik Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 If I can not get a METV and get a SETV instead can I go to Jomtien and get a 30 day extention without showing a flight booked to leave ? Also when at the end of the SETV can I do a border run to Cambodia by land or does it have to be a flight out of Thailand? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 No tickets are needed to get the 30 day extension. You don't need to fly out to do a border run. What do you plan on doing at the border? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlkik Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 I want to apply for another SETV giving me another 60+30 days extention as I want to retire in Thailand at 50 and am not 50 until March 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 You would have to go a little further than the border to get a tourist visa. Your best choice for getting another tourist visa is Vientiane Laos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it realistic for me to enter Thailand on July 7th 2016 and reapply for SETV until I am 50 in March 2107 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elviajero Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 You would only use border runs if you have the METV. If you end up using 3 x SETV you can extend each 60 day stay by 30 days at immigration, but every 90 days you will need to exit and spend one night in a neighbouring country in order to buy a new SETV. As ubonjoe says Vientiane, Laos would be the best option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I go to Vientiane by coach with my girlfriend and stay the night and re apply a day later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can travel to the bridge in Nong Khai however you want. Many people travel overnight, cross the border and apply for the visa at the consular section on the same morning they arrive then spend the night and pick up their visa in the afternoon.
