Hello! I applied for a 6-month multi entry TV but it didn’t get approved until after I arrived in May so got 30 day visa exempt. The reason it was delayed was they needed my entry and exit plane tickets which I submitted 3 times prior to approval.
I went to the Koh Tao immigration office to see if they can honor the visa and one of the volunteer student girls told me I have to leave the country and re-enter for it to be valid. Can anyone confirm this is accurate? My 30 days are up on June 13 so I will have to apply for an extension. It’s very frustrating to have to pay 1900 baht for 30 days when I already paid 200 USD for the ME TV and now the visa exemption is supposed to be 60 days.
Thanks in advance for any advice or assistance!
