Should have no issue at all activating an METV by bouncing out and back at a land border and presenting that PDF print out of the visa when they stamp back in

Anonymous participant 106the person was in their country when the Visa was applied for and then they came to Thailand Visa exempt before it was approved

It would appear he was in his country when he contracted with the agency to apply. But then came to Thailand without telling them before the Visa was approved

It seems that they applied for a DTV and then entered the country BEFORE it was approved thinking once it was approved their stamp would "magically switch over" to the 180 day DTV entry stamp from the 60 day free stamp they got when they showed up here without any visa 😕

@Adam ****

yep sounds like it is the same situation.

@Nicholas *************

I don't believe 'Muricanz have the market cornered on stupidity 😛 I've met stupid people from countries the world over 😉

I don't have instagram so I couldn't read the comments on the thread to see if they used an agent while they were in the country or applied on their own then came here before it was approved

I don't know whether they applied for the DTV and then came here before it was approved OR used an agency to get it while they were in thailand (where the agency said they were in another country)

I mean, you can't even select thailand as a location in the eVisa system

Oh I didn't see it sorry to have double posted it

Hard lesson for that guy to learn though 😕

Some people who did sign up for those short 3 month classes to get a DTV were questioned when they came back into the country as far as if they were still enrolled or still attending what ever it was they signed up for to get the visa issue

BUT

most people are not questioned about it and it doesn't even say on the PDF that is your visa what soft power reason the visa was issued under so immigrations has no way of knowing
