OK, so I guess the address I used to get the visa is simply a matter of ‘record’ and is never communicated to immigration in Thailand. I suppose that makes sense, since they are different agencies.
My question was does anyone have any knowledge as to what the policy is, as I am considering living there. Is your advice to “move there and then find out”? Really?
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?
