when traveling overseas on short-term visas, it’s common to take a flight to a neighboring country, step out of the airport for a moment (just get your passport stamped) and then fly back... resetting your stay duration.
i’ve done this a number of times overseas
Yeah. I’ve done it as well, though I’ve always spent a few days in the country to which I traveled for the visa run. I’ve known lots of folks who make similar trips regularly.
People who can make visa trips typically have the resources to support themselves. The very fact that they make a visa trip indicates that they respect the law that sets forth the conditions of their visa. Further, they have to present themselves to an border agent every time upon return. So, if the visa holder has any outstanding warrants or other legal issues bearing upon re-entry, he can be detained at the border crossing or denied entry.
