Yeap, correct. Those documents are clear to me. What I do not understand why I have to get out of the country when it is stated at 1.2 that a visa exemption stamp is acceptable to follow this procedure (90 days or 1 year, it is not important). This is super strange. Officer at the immigration says one thing, the lawyers say a different thing...anyways, your explanation is clear! Thank you!
Ok, Tod, thank you for your advise. I am still confused with this procedure. I got this paper from an immigration officer who told me I can do it (I mean get the non imm O using the Visa Exemption Stamp).Can you see the point 1.2? May be I do not understand their rules correctly. Also, I would be applying for 1 year non imm-O, based on one year spouse non imm-B. 😊
Another question, since I see you guys are very well informed 😊 Can I apply for a non immigrant O visa (which for husband or wife following the one having the non immigrant visa B) using the Visa Exempt Entry stamp? Or should I get out of the country and apply for a short term non imm O in a Thai embassy first and then come back and exrend it?
Right, I thought it is called visa on arrival, but it is actually an exemption stamp. I've created a misunderstanding here. :) Thanks Pete and Robert for your help! Much appreciated!
for your quick reply. My question is: can I do it 2 times in a row? Never done this before, but I guess there should be a limitation of number of times that a visa on arrival is given...or not?
