What is a visa run in Pattaya ?
A visa run in Pattaya is a common practice used by many foreign travellers to legally extend their stay in the country. Indeed, it is a convenient and commonly used solution to extend the length of stay allowed on a tourist visa in Thailand, which is usually 30 days. Rather than applying for a visa extension or a long-term visa, travellers often opt for a visa run in Pattaya, which allows them to leave the country temporarily and re-enter with a new valid tourist visa.
The main idea behind a visa run is to take a short trip outside Thailand, usually to a neighbouring country, before returning quickly with a new tourist visa. This allows them to enjoy a new 30-day stay and continue exploring the wonders of Thailand.
Popular destinations for visas run from Thailand are often border towns in neighbouring countries such as Laos, Cambodia, Malaysia or Burma. These trips are usually of short duration, ranging from a few hours to a few days, before returning with a new, freshly obtained tourist visa.
