Hey there, I’m from Portugal and I’m planning a trip to Thailand in January 2026. I’m thinking of staying there for around 75 days, but the visa-exemption only allows for 60 days. I’ve heard about the option of doing a Visa Run, where you leave the country for a short trip, like to Vietnam, and then come back to Thailand to get another 60 days. I’ve done this in some South American countries before, but I’ve heard mixed opinions about it being safe or risky in Thailand. If anyone has any experience or advice on whether this is a good idea or if there’s a better option, I’d really appreciate it.
Also, after Thailand, I’m planning to head to Vietnam or another nearby country. I’ll be leaving for a more distant destination only later on. This is my first time posting on this subreddit, but I’m excited to be here and looking forward to hearing from you all!
