When I entered Thaialnd I enter with the 30 visa excempt . Two days later I food the approval letter for my tourist visa 60 days valid until April . Can I now still use the 60 days tourist visa by going to the immigration office and ask for the stamp ? Or should I take a flight out to Singapore or so come back and can I then use the 60 days ? Advise would be appreciated .
TLDR : Answer Summary
After entering Thailand with a 30-day visa exemption, you cannot activate your 60-day tourist visa by simply going to the immigration office. To use your 60-day tourist visa, you must leave Thailand and then re-enter the country, presenting your visa upon arrival. Alternatively, you can apply for an extension of your 30-day stamp at the immigration office before eventually exiting and re-entering with your printed visa.
