yeah, on my most recent bounce the IO, asked me if I could speak Thai, then asked why I’m entering Thailand, then said you’re not a tourist. He let me in but said I need to pursue a retirement visa.
so it really doesn’t matter if it’s a bounce (no entry at border) or being out of the country for at least a month and then returning via land correct?
so I’d better apply for the 30 day extension almost immediately after arriving, then promptly send the passport to the embassy, and 🤞- do they still need a police report? (Maybe I can get that at immigration?)
