hey.
7 days is cool.
they try to lock down on visa u-turns first.
but hey, there are other ways, if you have seven days
non immigrant B
tourist visa
also there are ways to send your passport somewhere to obtain a 6 or 12 month non immigrant B's
ask your local travel agent or your embassy.

Be careful because this is illegal.
Furthermore if they refuse to give you another back to back visa at Poi Pet, the chance to get a NonIm or TR is very slim.

Illegal? No way!
It is done everyday. How do you think Joe Inthemiddleofnowhere from Idaho gets his visa to come to Thailand? He mails his passport to one of Thai consulates in tha USA and gets it back.
Mailing a passport to get a visa is not illegal

First, if it's done every day it doesn't mean it's legal.
Thousands of people have sent somebody to the border to get their passport stamped but was it legal?
How do you utilise the visa? How do you explain to the officer that you already have a visa while not even did leave the country?
So essentially your statement means that I can just mail my passport to Penang or Phnom Penh without getting an entry stamp? You've just saved me 1000's of baht!
Actually, I've done this myself through a service in BKK. Got the visa back from Hawai and an entry stamp. Was the stamp legal? No of course not!

The story is that it is illegal as hell for you to give your passport to an agency to make your monthly/quarterly turnaround at the border. You MUST physically make the trip yourself.
I got caught (almost) on this a few years ago and had to make a sizeable donation to the tea fund to clear it up.
The bottom line...make the visa turnaround trips yourself and do not use an agency.
Smegs: You are right also. It is perfectly legal to mail your passport to obain an entry visa.
I have even, in the past, DHL'ed my passport from BKK to the US to obtain a visa into the Middle East.
These are apples and oranges though.

Yes, but ONLY if you're outside Thailand and you can physically enter Thailand.
But I reckon RTB meant while you're in Thailand (as the purpose of this thread was).

Expat Chuck > not sure how long ago you used DHL to do this, but they STRICTLY will not carry passports out of thailand anymore, even if you hide them in something, if it is found Immigration call you to collect it and it gets very very messy.
On the note of applying for visas via post, correct, not illegal, if doing so from your home country, domicile country. to be in Thailand, and send your passport out of thailand to obtain a thai visa is illegal, Firstly, you have no original passport ID, and immigration / police won't accept that if you get picked up. When all the border run agencies were busted and a lot of people finally decided to admit they knew it was wrong, but it was easy so they did it anyway, I had obtained my non B via post in the Uk, and my embassy told me this was illegal, no ifs, no buts, I was in thailand at the time I applied for a non B visa, the visa requirements state you cannot apply for a non B in thailand. That means you and your passport, not just your passport. On top of that, Thai embassies worldwide have been instructed not to issue visas to persons applying via airmail. The agents were doing it because they had deals set up, with the embassies, but it was ALL illegal.

I am glad to see that you are now qualifying your own statement. Better this way, as some of us can not read minds and the way you stated it was in very absolute terms.

So wasn't yours? And the subject handles about people in Thailand (back to back visas). So if you take a sideway, explain.

It was years ago. Probably around 1983-85. Certainly not in the recent past.
