Thank you all very much I believe I understand what I need to do now. I will enter with a 30 day exempt - I can then file for a 60 day tourist VISA once I arrive. The school I will be working for is starting the process for a Non-B VISA so I may need to do a VISA run.. 1. Do you recommend an I/O near BuriRam to file for Non-B? 2. Does it matter if I go to an I/O in Bangkok to apply for a Tourist VISA? I'll be in Old City area- or I could do it in Chiang Mai.. OR in BuriRam.. THANK YOU again for al your insight.
