Hiho...
Okay, so here's what I've done so far (visa exemptions each time):
Arrived beginning of July + 30 day extension.
Land border bounce via Burma in Sept + 30 day extension
Land bounce via Burma in Nov
probably will add a 30 day extension
My question is, am I allowed to stay in Thailand any longer?
As of 2016, I think I am only allowed to do 2 land bounces per calendar year, so I cannot do any more (correct?).
Can I go to the Burmese consulate and apply for an actual visa? Would they grant it? If not would I even be able to get back in to retrieve my stuff?
If I went on 'vacation' to Cambodia for a few weeks, would that still count as a land bounce and be denied?
Could I do an air border bounce?
Frankly, I only really want to be here until the END of January, where right now I would have to be out by the BEGINNING of January. What would be the BEST course of action?
Thanks for the insight <3
