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.
