Visa runs & border runs — done right, same day

A visa run is a border crossing that resets your entry stamp. When it's the right move, it's a single day: van to the border, crossing support, back in Bangkok by evening. When it isn't — we'll tell you, because tourist hops are exactly what immigration punishes.

A visa run is a border crossing that resets your entry stamp. Our Laos van run is one day, transport and documents included, ฿6,500 all-in. Since November 2025 land-border entries no longer qualify for the 30-day extension and same-day exit/re-entry does not reset the count — border bounces are no longer a strategy. We give honest route advice before you pay.

Questions we hear about visa runs

How many visa runs can I do?

There's no published number, but Thai immigration watches the pattern. Two or three border entries a year is usually fine; more than that and you're building a tourist-hop history that can cost you later.

Where does the run go?

Our standard run is the Laos border (van, same day). Other crossings are possible but usually slower and not better.

Is a visa run legal?

Border entries for new stamps are a normal, legal part of Thai immigration — when done the right way. What gets people banned is repeated, quick turnaround hopping. We assess your history first.

What should I do instead?

If you're staying long-term, a DTV, retirement visa or work permit is cheaper and safer than a lifetime of runs. We'll tell you straight which route fits your situation.
