Not out yet.

Considering that 2 weeks ago you posted that you had never done a border bounce. I am just gonna call you a shit posting asshole and block you.

@Elisabeth *******

no, I just used pdfs when I got it. That is official enough.

Several people have had the same issue of not planning far enough ahead and actually having their visa before their travel date. What you are talking about is what they have been doing waiting in country until they get approval then border bounce to switch visas.

The risk is in the embassy wants you to come in for some reason you are SOL.

But since you are already in a different country it isn’t that much extra risk.

Only advice I would give is to make sure the course actually works for that visa. Not every course has been approved.

@Em***

amen this is the only way to be sure. OP needs to get the proper VISA and stop trying to find a way around the system.

If he keeps trying to find away around it I wouldn't be surprised if he gets banned.

And we will get to read more "I got banned does anyone know how i can stll get in?" posts.

@Len****

yes exactly. Thank you some, days to many Leo’s and the forms start blending together.

ETA has been pushed back. The digital TM7 arrival form is different. The TM6 was what was supposed to come back on May 1st, but no official details are out about it yet.

Worse case you will fill it out on your phone while waiting in line at immigration. But if you are this worried about filling out a form you might want yo rethink Thailand. They love to make statements that go nowhere and change the rules constantly.

Just relax and roll with the changes or you will stress yourself out of any enjoyment.

They aren't a business though. They work for the airport which is semi government owned and run. When has anything remotely government been worried about being efficient or making money.

Find a visa agent in the area you are visiting they will be able to explain everything. Maybe ask the same questions of several different agents as I have seen them give slightly different answers depending on what generates the most money for them.
