masterblaster Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I know this has been done to death in here but it is so confusing figuring out what everyone means in answering every possible permutation of exempt/visa/one day/trail etc. so please accept my apologies in advance for rehashed material. Our situation: We're long term travelers from USA Flew to Thailand from Indonesia with 60 day tourist visa Extended once in Thailand for additional 30 days Entered Myanmar overland at Myawaddy (in Yangon now) After 28 days travel in Myanmar, plan on returning to Thailand overland at Mae Sot with visa exempt Leave Thailand to Laos overland a few weeks later I've seen people saying no visa exempt overland at Mae Sot, which obviously throws a serious monkey in the wrench. I can't tell if they mean for people doing the one day in/out thing or chaining together visa exempt arrivals, neither of which would be us since we left Thailand for four weeks and have no visa exempt stamps from Thailand in our passports. Are we going to be refused entry at Mae Sot? Thanks so much for kind replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 You can get a visa exempt entry at Mae Sot since you have been in Myanmar for some time. Only doing a crossing and immediacy returning to Thailand for a new visa exempt entry is not allowed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterblaster Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 Asked and answered, thanks ubonjoe. We shall stay the course and plan on receiving 30 day exempt at Mae Sot, then immediately going to Famous Ray's for a cheeseburger and beer.
