Thai Visa's for the under 50's and border runs.
Day 4: Living in Thailand
Today was my bi weekly trip to Mae Sai - Tachilek in Myanmar to renew my visa exemption. It takes about a half day to do the 140k - 90 miles round trip, including a stop for lunch.
- 14 day Visa Exemption 500 Baht - $16.80
- Gas to go to Mae Sai 80 Baht - $2.70
- Lunch 60 Baht - $2.00
Types of Visa for the under 50's
The under 50�s are somewhat limited to the types of visa they can obtain easily, the simplest, and the one that I would suggest for any one arriving in Thailand for the first time, is a Tourist Visa this allows you to stay in Thailand for 60 days and can be extended another 30 days from within Thailand, making a total of 90 days. In your own country you can also obtain multi entry tourist visa valid for 6 months saving a lot of time and expense.
For most of us living in Thailand border runs "physically leaving Thailand then coming straight back" become a part of life a small price to pay for the ability to be able to live here. It is possible to fly to Thailand with out a Visa "you will need a return or ongoing ticket to board the plane though" On arrival you will get a 30 day exemption, you can then extend that 30 days one time. Bi Weekly border runs are not possible any more you will need a visa to stay more than 60 days.
