Good morning! I have the following question: If someone has a valid SETV in passport, is it possible when entering to Thailand to ask officials not to stamp 60 day stay to passport but 30 day stamp based on VISA exemption, then leave the country within that 30 days, come back and then use the SETV while it's still valid?
TLDR : Answer Summary
When entering Thailand with a valid SETV (Single Entry Tourist Visa), travelers generally cannot request a 30-day visa exemption stamp. Immigration officers typically will not stamp in for a 30-day exemption if there is an unused tourist visa present. While it is possible to ask for the 30-day exemption stamp, success largely depends on the discretion of the immigration officer at the time.
