Hello,
Would anyone know the reason why the immigration office would have told us to go back there two weeks before this date please?
Our school said we only need to go back on the 5th. Unfortunately we have had some miscommunication before so I would just like to prevent any unnecessary mishaps.
I will give you a bit more information. This is our (me and my husband's) first time in Thailand. After exhausting our tourist exemption we did one boarder trip and (with the help of our employer) got all our paperwork ready. When it was done we went back to the immigration office in Bangkok to process for our non B visa. Long story, we were one day to late and then we first had to extend our tourist visa again to have enough time to process our papers.
After getting another extension, we immediately went back to again apply for the NonB. Then the two weeks went by and we recieved this stamp. My husband and I both remember the officer at the immigration telling us to return 2 weeks before the stamp expires. The school however insists that this is not necessary. I am more than willing to except that we didn't understand correctly but I just want to make absolutely sure.
Thank you
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking clarification on conflicting advice regarding when to return to the immigration office in Thailand. They were told by an immigration officer to return two weeks before their non-B visa stamp expires, but their school advised that it is only necessary to return on the expiration date. The user has experienced prior miscommunication during their visa processes and wishes to avoid future issues.
