Can I activate my NON-O visa with a border bounce if I'm on a visa exempt in Thailand?

Apr 6, 2023

I have a voucher/QR code from my embassy for a non-o visa. However, I am already in the country with a visa exempt since the visa came late.

For activating the visa I must leave the country and come back in, correct? Can I do a border bounce for this or do I have to fly in? TIA

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires about activating a NON-O visa using a voucher/QR code from their embassy while currently holding a visa exempt status in Thailand. They ask if it's necessary to leave and re-enter the country for activation and whether a border bounce is sufficient or if a flight is required. Various comments confirm that both options (border bounce or flying back) are feasible but suggest considering the timing relative to the expiration of the visa exempt.

Will it last until your visa exempt expires? Save it for then if you can.
