What is the process for first-time entry into Thailand with an O-A visa and what should I expect at immigration?
Australian citizen. Just got out of HKT immigration at the airport, went through on an O-A which I got from the Royal Thai Embassy in Canberra Australia. No issue with the visa but the officer got out his phone and took a photo of my passport photo page, the visa page and the arrival TM6. He said it was the same for all first time O-As and his boss would get the photos. Stamped the date and waved me through without any other issue. Has anyone else experienced this?
Answer summary
An Australian citizen shared their experience entering Thailand on an O-A visa, noting a routine process where the immigration officer photographed their passport's photo page, visa page, and arrival TM6 form. This procedure is reportedly standard for all first-time O-A visa holders, with the images sent to his supervisor.
