Hello all,
I will be coming back to Thailand on a standard Visa Arrival Visa from America. I then plan to apply for a Non Immigrant OA visa.
My question is this, Since I am starting with a Visa arrival, is going to be a problem that I am bringing a lot of items that are what a person would be bringing to plan on moving. And no return flight. Is this going to be an issue with immigration?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking advice regarding potential issues with Thai immigration upon entering with an Arrival Visa from the US, especially concerning bringing many belongings and not having a return flight. Responses indicate that the terminology used is crucial, advising that the user will be entering as visa exempt, not on a visa on arrival. It's recommended to apply for a Non-O visa before traveling, as Non-OA cannot be obtained within Thailand. Concerns about needing a return ticket are also noted, suggesting buying a throwaway ticket to satisfy airline requirements.
