I’m not getting your 2nd paragraph after the “BUT”, Tod. Are you saying he should have extended his O-A in Thailand and then also re-applied for a new one in the U.S.?
More than likely, yes. This is where I get confused. I know hotels do this for you, but is it ok under the present circumstances to not do anything yourself in a hotel situation?
So if I’m staying in Bangkok the night of my arrival, I need to visit immigration the next day? Do you think it’s possible to get an online registration through that quickly?
I’m not worried about losing days. I just want to know if it’s not a problem if your 1st entry is after 90 days since it was issued. I should clarify that the visa has a year validity.
Well, you gotta admit, booking an online appointment is a teensy bit different than cruising across the border, getting your picture taken and a visa slapped into your passport without ever entering a building...
