Phu Nam Ron Border (Kan) border bounce allowed?

[thelongshoot]

Hi there.  Does anyone know if its possible to do a quick in/out at the Phu Nam Ron border close to Kanchanaburi?  I mean doing so without any type of visa in order to get 15 or 30 days?  Someone mentioed you can only use this border with a Thai visa, but he wasnt totaly sure.  Seems strange they would allow Ferangs to go over and back in only if they have a visa, i mean its either open to Ferangs or it isnt, surely?

 

If anyone knows it would be a massive help.  Its a long way to drive there from Hua Hin only to get turned away :)

100% sure no border bounces, and as far as i am aware no border crossings for foreign passport holders, even with visa, ( but only 98% sure on that one)

With a visa is allowed now, once again by the way.

 

Please read the threads about this in the Visa Section of this forum.

Is your car amphibious?

Hi, if you are looking at a Visa Run at Phu Nam Rom, then yes, you can do it.  But if you are looking into entering Myanmar through this border, you will need a proper Myanmar visa.

When did this change?, out/in without a visa was stopped a while ago.

The Myanmar visa requirement, when doing a visa hop, was very short lived, maybe only a few days, and seems to have come about due to a spat over the collection and sharing of border of fees.

I have a multi non-I and and did my most recent hop in September. A friend did his last month.

If you want to go further and stay in Myanmar for a while then you will need their visa.

I should clarify, I meant with a Thai visa, not just doing a border out/in to get another 30/15 days.

No Burmese visa required unless intended onward travel.

A Thai visa is required for a border hop, no visa free entries back into Thailand.
