Dear Thailand bloggers

I have read through all the posts and articles but my question is not listed. So let's just say:
Can someone give me more clarity about a visa run at Kanchanaburi? It concerns an extension for 90 days on our non-immigrant O visa, multiple entry's. I understood that is now possible but also for 90 days?

We think it would be nice to combine the pleasant with the useful when we make a trip of 3 days in the area, at the end of February. We stay in Cha-am for 6 months, and from there a visa run to Rayong is still a day's work, and an annoying long journey, which is very tiring for me. So I thought "is there no other way?".

Who has experience with it, from Kanchanaburi?

Thanks for the responses, I look forward to it.

Greetings from Marian

    Look up http://www.siamvisarun. They organize a round trip to Kanchanaburi from BKK.

    Hello, you can recently extend your visa [4 months] in Kanchanaburi province, costs around 500 Bht, an additional 200 Bht is added for someone who takes your passport and has it stamped on the Myamar side.
    You can come along if you want, but you might as well wait and have a cup of coffee, it's done in an hour.
    I thought there was also a border post open in Prachuab?

      It seems to me very stiff if you have to pay a small 2000 bht everywhere that it only costs 500 there….. Don't believe this to be honest!

      Hi leo
      What is the difference between an extension and "out and back in Thailand"? In the piece by Ronny Mergits of 13-10-2013 "Sixteen questions and answers about visa" (for which thanks Ronny, very clear piece) talks about extension, so hence my wording.
      But it's about 90 days longer stay within my non-immigrant O, multiple entry's visa with on my arrival stamp the latest date of stay 23-2-2014 ( 20-5-2014 back to cold Netherlands, brrr, really look at it out, but not really!).

        Sorry, I must have done something wrong, but this response was intended for Leo Gerritsen, see below! Thnxx ” Kanchanaburi”, I will follow your reaction and trust that it will work out!

    @Mathias
    The road is long the road is short.
    If you read carefully, the whole thing only takes an hour.
    So you are not on the road all day in a van or something.
    In other words, it doesn't take a day but an hour, so the price is also lower.
    or are you going to pay 2000,- B for that hour, no.

    regards peter

    It really is 500 BHT, you can believe it or not, I've been there myself and several have gone before me.
    And if you do not believe, you will still go to your own place, not then !!!!

    Hello Marian,

    Your question may not be about an extension, but simply leaving and re-entering Thailand so that the obligation to leave Thailand once every 90 days is met.
    If you go yourself, you will incur costs to travel outside Thailand and possibly costs at the border with the other country. There is no fee to re-enter Thailand, provided your “non immigrant O visa, multiple entry's visa” is still valid.
    So the costs are different per border crossing, it concerns the visa costs for the other country, and this is often also different per nationality.

    As far as I know, Singkhon near Prachuap is still not open to non-Thai.

  7. elletjee says up

    if you do the visa extension through myanmar as “kanchanaburi” written above isn't it just valid for 15 days? I would like to hear it as my daughter is in kanchanaburi and also wants an extension of 3 (or preferably longer).

  8. kanchanaburi says up

    Depends on what kind of visa your daughter has, does she have a multiply entre, then she can use it, otherwise I don't know, but it's not far, so maybe worth a try.
