Visa Run LOOPHOLE at Thailand border!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 кві 2024
- Travelling overland from Pattaya to Cambodia for my VISA RUN border crossing every two months is a pain. ESPECIALLY now Cambodia has introduced a MANDATORY OVERNIGHT STAY now!
Come along with Lele and I while we road trip in her 4WD from Pattaya, through Thailand's Chanthaburi Province to Cambodia and back - all in a day!
See HOW WE DID IT!
If you want to AVOID having to spend a night in Cambodia during your VISA extension run, watch the video to find out how I extended my stay without having to spend a cent in Cambodia and was able to road trip back to picturesque and historic CHANTHABURI RIVER old town where we stayed in a beautiful rustic hotel right on Chanthaburi River instead!

You and Lele have good chemistry on your video which makes it fun to watch. You're getting some colour since you arrived! You've lost that pasty look lol. Looking good!
Lele dresses more sophisticated than most Thai girls in Expat videos. She also doesn't put on that dumb Thai girl act that most of the others do.
currently in Pattaya this is my fourth trip in a year, did the 1 month extension twice last year, was told by Visa agent I can only do it twice per year never did a border run as I just returned to Australia for a month or two before coming back, despite this I still got interogated at Bangkok Airport in November last year when all I had done was an extension ONCE! extended it no problem & then this time on arrival I got interogated again, Im not even going to attempt a border run after these experiences, my plan is to stay 2 months go back to Australia then come back & sort out the education visa, its a bit more of an initial cost but it cuts out alot of the red tape that us under retirement age need to go through
Sam! Have you or LeLe been to Cambodia? Why not take a bit of a trip into Phnom Penh? Great place . Wrong side of the road of course. Or pop in and visit my darling in Siem Reap. She’ll make you laugh.
I sort of see Cambodia like Thailand 40 years ago. Worth an explore!
We’d absolutely love to!
Great content, mate. You are doing well!!!
The border run renewals getting to be a gamble . Have had friends denied entry after 2. They were told they are no longer tourist and must apply for long term visa. I did the long term visa when arrived in Thailand over 2 years ago and it also carries obstacles. Every case is different but consult a professional so you don't have a surprise and get denied entry one day. Good Luck !
Always cool Vids !
Thank you mate!
Good vlog mate. That hotel you stayed at looks good. 👍
Your videos are getting better and better, good stuff brotatoe!
Really enjoyed this vlog. Painful visa rules. The Riverside motel looked great. Well done looking forward to the next one
Loved this video, Sam. Great mix of travel, scenery, interesting places, and the lovely Lele. Super-entertaining!
Love the feedback!!
Great scooter tour of the riverside town, awesome drone footage, Lele and yourself definitely get around
Thank you big guy!!!
Great vid. Content,subjects,photography, all very good,Your assistant is a good helper too LOL
She’s a worker!
Thank you mate
Loving Lele's growing involvement in your channel, you two bounce off each other so beautifully.
Hope ya well Benizm!
Good video man, digging the day in a life videos! Would love to see them longer, UA-cam is the only TV I watch😂
Trying to market them to garner more audience and interest but really they’re for loyalty like yourself! 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Nice video mate 👍👍
Be careful mate if your using Poipet border crossing as they only allow two land crossings per year. Air is different. I suppose you have a facilitator to assist. I hope it was not too expensive. I'm a lightweight so never curb the rules. Having said that I have never paid one agency fee in 14yrs. Saved me a lot of dosh. Great video mate.
can you also not get an extra month from the immi center where you are so 3 not 2 months each time? or did you arrive originally visa-free
I got denied on my THIRD visa run - - - all by air. Thanks goodness they finally let me back in 😅
@@seans7228 you did directly the two runs and it worked?
@@pucca0pucca Yes. My first two runs I stayed out of Thailand longer. My third run I came right back in 3 days and they were not going to let me in.
@@seans7228how long did you stay outside between the first run and second run? and it was by land or air?
Nice vid brother! 😊
Nice Sam. Looks like a smooth trip. Sorry we couldn't tee it up to meet. About to jump in the car back to bkk now for a few days. Hopefully catch you next time.
Ahhh shit I missed ya!
Sorry homie! Definitely next time :)
@GoneAdrift haha all good man.
Aahh.. those small cans of ice espresso are addictive 😍👌
Enjoy your blogs boet!🇿🇦🇦🇺🇹🇭👊👍
i got fed up of the border runs, after 6 months stay, left back in Oz, maybe next trip to the Phil's
Yeah, Thailand is shooting itself in the foot. Losing money they *Desperately* need!
I really enjoyed video. I just got home to California from spending a month in Thailand. I'm already missing that amazing country. ✌
Cheers mate;
🙂
i love the videos .. thanks . My only request would be could you pleae give us the prices of stuff .. thanks
I had a problem at the border.
They told me that i can only cross the border by land 2 times in one year.
They told me thst by air!
Lovely voice
Hahaha!
Those kamikaze canary’s are quite common in that part of Thailand they seem to be fond of swooping red scooters. Saw it on a David Attenborough doco once
The Yamaha Grand Finalo… ❌
Hey mate great video thank you so much..just wondering what you will do next time you have done 2 border visa runs now …will you have to fly to another country?? Cheers from kangaroo 🦘 land
Yeah Saigon coming up late June then should be up for a business Visa hopefully August
Bro Chantaburi looks nice and clean krap
Super well kempt!
Caution: 30-day Visa entries by border crossing by land are limited to 2 times per calendar year. The third time your entry into Thailand will be refused. BUT - when entering the country by plane, the number of visas on arrival (30 days) + extension is possible an unlimited number of times. The 90 day residency rule within 180 days is suspended meanwhile This is the current information from the Thai Embassy.
lool i can enter thailand by air more than 2x easy on the row?
@@pucca0pucca yes
thx mate❤
What documents do you need besides passports?
@@amykedoshay6807 Depends on your nationality. All informations on Thai embassy sites.
So with the agency same as usual then, good to know as I have to do one soon.
Yep mate! :)
So next time you will have to fly but after about 18 month you will have to fly back to Oz
Interesting video which agent would you recommend ,
I wanna know too lol
Always use an agent in these situations cuz , the bottom line with certain things is , money talks and BS walks .
Wow, only $AU1.26 a litre. Today it was selling for $AU1.89/l in Melbourne and Unleaded 91 was $AU2.11/l,
91 is 2.11! Omg I’m never going to be able to go home!
@@GoneAdrift OMG just passed 3 servos selling 91 for $AU2.36/l. I think I need to head out tomorrow afternoon to check out the final cost for the 4 day weekend...
How many days do you get on a boarder run ?
30 + an opportunity to extend for a further 30
you doin all over the year after 60 days the visa run ? and staying all year than in thailand ? i thought it can be done only 2x per year
Yeah 2 land entries per year. Can fly in after that
@@GoneAdriftlol.. by air its everytime possible?
@@pucca0pucca There’s a limit.
After a few flights immigration will tell you you can’t come back in next time until you pay for a better long term visa
wow nice.. they telling it before you want to come next.. great
Ready to do this for my 1 st time I am a wheel chair user first time in Thailand no agent how much did you pay your agent please to help you when you met them at cambodia please
4000baht at most
Best of luck brother! Reach out on Instagram if you have more questions!
What's the name of the Visa agency? Also the name of the Border crossing?
Border Crossing is Pakkad, or Pak Kad
@@GoneAdrift Amazing, will try this place on my next visit.
@@GoneAdrift Thank you.
Sometimes I wonder where's Cookie? Is he still causing trouble and mayhem
Bahahaha. He’s probably back in Australia living his alter ego as a responsible public servant 🤣🤣🤣
Why are you doing border runs every 2 months? Great couple, I hope everything works out in the long run.
30 days visa exempt+30 day extension then a border run. Unless you want to shell out for a business visa/work permit etc...
@@mcb00m Just be careful as you can only do this a few times per year and the Thai immigration are clamping down on this especially here in Phuket. Take care.
@sebastianhorbushko8703 thank you, yes I got warned after a few times flying in and out. Bit the bullet and got a business visa now so all good 🎉
You need to do that every 2 months?
Yep, alternatively pay up the big bucks for one of the long term visas. Thailand does not want foreigners here for any longer than a month really.
Ur pupils are so small lol
🤣 Pinned!
