ORIGINAL POSTER

Last month, I applied and paid for the Retirement Visa. On June 10th, my 30-day tourist visa extension expired. I contacted Immigration, where I applied in Hua Hin. They told me not to worry; they were waiting from Bangkok. Should I be concerned if I need to present my stamp somewhere?
