freedomnow Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) Has anyone tried an out/in at Mae Sai or Mae Sot in 2017 with the new 2 visa-exempt overland limits per calendar year ? Are they now letting people get a visa-exempt at these border points ? This year I have had no visa-exempts, though I did get one late last year around November at Chiang Kong after 2 days in Laos. Before, visa-exempt was halted maybe around August 2014 or so at these 2 crossings as I remember. But has that changed currently ?

freedomnow Posted March 4, 2017 Author Share Posted March 4, 2017 No Mae Sai visa/Mae Sot visa-exempt visa runners as of 2017 ? Is this method of getting a visa-exempt re-entry now possible ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Mae Sai is allowing them now. For Mae Sot I am not sure since I can only recall one report of it being allowed now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great Ubonjoe, and to clarify, when they say 2 visa-exempts overland in 1 year, that is strictly a calendar year and not some arbitrary 'wrapping around 12 month period' from that day you come in backwards through say, 2017/16 ?

It is one calendar year. January 1st to December 31st. The new rule went into effect on January 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
