For those who regularly visit Thailand and want to stay longer than a few months, the term “visa run” is well known. You leave the country to return immediately. Thailand has several neighboring countries where this is possible. And both Myanmar and Cambodia can be reached by bus from Bangkok. As a result, they may be much cheaper options than, say, a flight to Malaysia, for example.

If you have made a border/Visarun with, for example, Bangkok Buddy, you can request an extension at the immigration office at IT square, Lak SI. So you don't have to go to Cambodia again. I have attached a screenshot.

In response to visa question No. 223/22: METV, you write that with a METV, you get a residence period of 60 days with each entry. You can make as many entries as you want, as long as it is within the validity period of the visa. You can extend each entry once after 60 days by 30 days. Clear answer, but I do have three additional questions.

I'm going to Thailand soon for 64 days. I called the Thai embassy to ask if it is possible to extend the 45 day visa for 30 days. Then I got the answer that that is up to the practitioner in Thailand and that they cannot answer that. Then I suggested a visa run. That seems to be forbidden, they said, my contact person was very annoyed by that question.

Forgot to book a ticket for a visa run next week due to circumstances. It now costs almost THB 9.000, which I think is too much. Anyone have experience with this company? Thaivisaservice.com https://bit.ly/36IkuVN

I have a non immigrant O.multiple entry visa for 1 year. I go to Immigration for my 90 days stamp and they say that with these visas I have to leave the country after 90 days. So I do NOT get a 90 day stamp there. Upon re-entering I would then again get 90 days. So I have to do a “visa run”.

An “Entry” and a “Re-entry”, or a “Borderrun” and a “Visarun”. They are often used interchangeably, but they do not have the same meaning or purpose.

Lately it has happened several times that in certain parts of Thailand there was a lot of flooding, making travel impossible. In certain cases, this meant that a return journey could not be started or a visit to an embassy or immigration was not possible.

On October 10, 2016 I entered Thailand with an 'O'-Multiple Entry visa. I have permanently registered as a resident in Chiangsean (Chiangrai). It made sense that I went to report to the nearest border crossing after 90 days.
