IMMIGRATION UPDATE 2026
Stop doing
Visa Runs.
Thai immigration has tightened the rules. Chaining visa exemptions and tourist entries is now a risky strategy.
Why it's over?
Entry Denial
Immigration officers have discretionary power to deny entry, even with a valid visa, if they suspect illegal work.
Interrogation & Stress
Ending up in the airport 'holding cell' waiting for the next flight home is not a way to live.
Hidden Costs
Flights, last-minute hotels, taxis... A 'Visa Run' costs roughly 10,000 THB per month. That's 120,000 THB/year.
