Hello, I just arrived on 60 day Tr visa which was stamped in my passport . I also applied for the OA visa which was approved by the Thai Consular in United States after arriving in Thailand. Do I need to leave Thailand by plane and come back thru Suvarnabhumi Airport for the OA visa to be stamped in my passport. I also have the medical insurance in case they ask for this. What would be the cheapest way to do this? Fly to Cambodia. Thank you..

Answer summary

The user inquires about the validity of their OA visa approval after initially arriving in Thailand on a 60-day Tourist visa. They are considering leaving Thailand and re-entering, specifically asking if they must return through Suvarnabhumi Airport for the visa stamp or if they can return through another airport, like DMK, after visiting a neighboring country, such as Malaysia. Comments clarify that any point of entry into Thailand would suffice for activating the new OA visa.

So it doesn't matter how I return meaning I can return into DMK airport if I say go to Malaysia for 4 or 5 days. I don't have to come back thru Suvarnabhumi Airport. For for the OA visa stamp on my passport. Any immigration contact will approve my visa. Thank you
