It has to be a JPEG file. That is one flat file, like a photo. Not a folder or multiple pages. It does not really make much sense to make a super long file by stitching multiple pages together. I have doubts that the staff would be able to read the text in that file.

It's an absurd technical limitation that they don't allow PDF. For the COE system, they did.

Well thank you but that was not my question. It's too late to change my visa.

I asked the consulate in Frankfurt and they basically said it depends on the immigration officer.

Well I don't think you can buy a ticket on the spot at Bangkok immigration.

If you do it on your phone, my experience is that it can take a couple of hours to receive the actual ticket document.

May I quickly ask you an other question?

If I travel on a 60 day TR visa (+ 30 days extension), is it accepted that my return flight ticket is after 88 days?

Yes I thought so too. But to be honest it's kind of hard for me to travel on the assumption that the Royal Thai Consulate is providing seriously false visa information. There is too much on the line for me... So I applied for a new TR visa this time, as I will only stay for 3 months anyway.

This is so confusing. I am in the situation that the first year of my multiple entry O-A visa is almost over. I had planned to reenter and get a stamp for an other year.

However, the consulate in Frankfurt told me explicitly that this is not possible and I would only get a stamp for the day of my first entry on this visa + 1 year. So I don't get a 1 year stamp at reentry, I can only stay for 1 year counted from the day of first entry. I also talked to an experienced visa service and they said the same.
