ORIGINAL POSTER

I have a retirement visa that will expire on June 11. I have been in the US since end of Feb. unable to return back to Bangkok. It looks like I will not be able to return until July. When I come back in do I still put down my visa number even if it expires?

I'm stuck here too. Losing my mind. Remember, even if Thailand opens up for international flights, the US will have to also open for departures. We're pretty slow here. Especially in NY.

IF you're out of the country when your visa or extension expires you lose it.

IF you don't buy a new visa before you come here when you re-enter the country you would be coming in visa exempt and would just leave the visa number blank on the TM6 arrival departure card
