visa run

Stepping back then back again in a country over a short period of time (ie same day) - in order to reset/extend the period of days a non-resident can stay in a country.

Most foreign visitors to Thailand are granted a 30 day visa on arrival in Thailand. Staying longer requires a new visa, and the fastest & most economical means of getting it is a visa run: exit Thailand and return.

visa run

A term originating among expatriates living in Thailand, a visa run is a quick, one-day trip across the border of a neighboring country and returning. This is typically done on or the day before the expiration of one's visa. Exiting the hosting country and instantly returning "resets the clock" on a pre-determined visa length to allow the visitor to extend their stay in the hosting country. Some nations have different laws controlling one's ability to perform consecutive visa runs, such as shortening the length of the subsequent visa, or limiting how many times within a given number of months one can perform a visa run.

My 60-day Thailand tourist visa expires tomorrow, so I'm taking a visa run into Cambodia in order to stay another 60 days.

Toe Rag

A toe rag was originally a foot wrapping used, since mediaeval times up until the mid-nineteenth century, to protect the foot from chafing by boots or shoes. As these were, quite literally, rags they weren’t usually washed, and so with use they became very smelly until they were thrown away. Because of the similarity in smell, toe rag also became the name applied to dried, salted cod or other things with a strong, unpleasant, fishy smell. It didn’t take that long before the name was applied to someone who was an obnoxious, unpleasant OIC.

1 “Socks! Those aren’t socks you smelly git, they’re toe rags!”
2 “What have you been cooking? Smells like toe rag!”
3 “I can smell ‘er fanny from ‘ere, proper toe rag.”
4 That Heale Malcolm is a right toe rag.
