What does the '60' on my visa stamp mean?

Andy ************

@Jean-Bernard *******

Actually it's a 60-day visa exempt. A free entry stamp. No visa required

@Wannikea ********

Not necessarily. I did mine whilst on the OA, bounced, got visa-exempt, then applied for non-O. The 65k transfers for the previous 18 months were accepted in lieu of the 800k. This is in Bangkok. I understand some other immigration offices are not so compliant!

It will if the OP does a border bounce and re-enters on visa exempt

Andy ************

You can't just "switch" from OA to O. You actually have to leave Thailand, come back in on visa exempt, and then apply for the O at an immigration office. I know for a fact Bangkok Immigration allows the use of 12 x 65k transfers, but each immigration office has their own rules
