Stop the constant headache with O visa extensions : just get a DTV visa !! So much easier !!! And no need for an “agent” !!!

Said MFA (ministry of Foreign affairs). On many different cases, Immigration, which belongs to Royal Thai police and which decides of your entry - or not - , says different than MFA..

You forgot one important thing: This Is Thailand (TIT) and they can do whatever they want, even if it’s a first. This visa is a first as well anyway.

Everything related to your visa is stored in the immigration computer under your name. Besides your extended history of stays, visa history etc… That’s the computer you see in front of every IO (immigration officer) at the airport for example.

Immigration belongs to Royal Thai Police . They know much more about you than just the basic info in your passport. And they love to know about you: thus the mandatory 90 days report … just an example …
