Important Notices
π© IMPORTANT NOTICE: Cambodia land borders are currently closed for border runs! For land travel, we only operate border runs to Laos. However, our Visa Runs by Air can be done by flying to almost any other country. (Note: We strongly advise against flying to Myanmar or Cambodia for visa runs).

Option 2: Individual Land Border Run & Re-entry Assistance

- Scenario A β Same-Day Border Run (In and Out): You arrange your own transport to the Laos border or Mukdahan bus station. Our team will meet you there, assist you with crossing into Laos, and immediately help you cross back into Thailand to get your new 60-day exemption stamp.
- Scenario B β Staying in Laos & Re-entry Assistance: If you wish to spend several days in Laos, you travel to and enter Laos on your own. When you are ready to return, we meet you at the border and provide our VIP clearance service for a smooth passage back into Thailand.
- Onward Transportation (Optional): After helping you re-enter Thailand, we can provide private transport to Mukdahan bus station, Udon Thani airport, Sakon Nakhon airport, or a direct VIP minivan transfer back to Pattaya or Bangkok.
β οΈ Crucial Payment Notice: This individual assistance must be booked and fully paid in advance. We do not accept cash payments at the border.
Option 3: VIP Individual Visa Run by Air
For clients who need maximum flexibility and guaranteed smooth re-entry via an international airport.
- How it works: You book and pay for your own flights and travel expenses. We provide our premium VIP Fast Track & Clearance service at the airport, ensuring a safe and hassle-free re-entry into Thailand without any complications.
- Locations: Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK), Don Mueang Airport (DMK), Chiang Mai, Phuket, and Krabi
- π‘ We highly recommend using Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) as it offers the best prices for our VIP service.

ποΈ Applying for a New Visa at the Thai Embassy in Laos (TR60, Non-O, Non-B, DTV)
βΉοΈ Please note: Applying for a brand-new visa at the Thai Embassy is a completely different process than a standard border run and cannot be done via our visa border run trip by minivan.
If you need to apply for a specific visa (such as Tourist TR60, Non-O, Non-B, or DTV) at the Thai Embassy in Laos, we can assist you, but the process works differently:
- Travel: You must travel to the border or Mukdahan bus station independently. Our representative will meet you there and transfer you to a hotel in Laos. Alternatively, you can fly/travel directly to Laos and our local team will assist you there.
- Processing Time: Visa applications take approximately 5β10 working days, during which you must wait in Laos.
Interested in an Embassy Visa Run? Because requirements vary greatly by nationality and visa type, please contact us directly. We will review your situation and provide you with a customised plan.
