haja5 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I'm thinking about flying to Malaysia and returning back to Thailand the same day. I'm curious if Thai immigration looks at this negatively. A small detail is my visa visa expires next week. So I'm doing this to get an extra 90 days on my ED multiple entry visa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hathairat2711 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 (edited) No problem whatsoever. Same day round trip to KL to activate your next 90 days. Edited July 3, 2017 by hathairat2711 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howard ashoul Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 You can enter and leave at the same hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanook Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 No problem flying there and back the same day. I did a 20 minute border run on Saturday. Stamped out of Thailand walked across the border to Myanmar (stamped in and out) and then walked back to Thailand. The whole process took 20 minutes.

Maybe you could help with another question I have. after I activate my next 90 days my Multiple Entry Visa will expire. Would I still be able to travel in and out of Thailand until the end of my 90 days? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get a single re-entry permit that will keep the remainder of your 90 day entry valid when you return form your trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
observer90210 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Does one have to pay something in these visa runs when re entering Thailand?...I mean officially? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. As mentioned above, if you need to keep your existing permission to stay valid when leaving and returning to Thailand, you must get a reentry permit before leaving (1,000 baht single reentry permit or 3,800 baht for a multiple reentry permit). There is nothing to be paid when you come back to Thailand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackThompson Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 If flying in especially, I would suggest having 20K Baht in cash or travelers checks on your person (not in plastic), plus an explanation ready for your studies, how you support yourself, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
