@Philip ********

unless I am mistaken, the passport control officers at the airport have no way to check that in that system.

You need to print out that your insurance carrier sends you showing your covered

We normally don't do those "how did it work for you" posts BUT I'll let this on the group.

To be completely honest, you don't need any first hand experience, the OA visa works exactly like your understanding of it. (y)

As long as you enter before the visa itself (the PDF) expires AND you have a new year of the mandatory 100K USD health insurance you will be stamped in for a new year or as long as your health insurance is valid for up to a year.

Print out the PDF of the visa and the insurance compliance form present those with your passport when you stamp in

Won't matter if you use BKK/DMK/CNX etc, all the officers at passport control at all the international arrival airports know how the OA visa works, believe me you're far from the first foreigner stamping in to get the 'free' second year of stay out of an OA visa valid for a year :) ;)

Also please check your message requests in Messenger

I had messaged you in July last year and then again in Oct and noticed that you never checked. :/

It'll be under message requests in spam most likely because we are not friends on f/b

Best of luck with it, I'll leave the post up for a while in case any OA people respond back

Nope, shouldn't need anything like that but if you have a booking or reservation show that as well

𝟭. 𝗗𝗼 𝗶 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗮 (𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗿𝗲-𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝘆) 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗶 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲?

Nope just leave, and when you come back after the extension expired you're fine

𝟮. 𝗪𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗶 𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗶 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗮 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻?

Maybe, passport control could ask you why you didn't get a new year extension and instead are comin' in free stamp.

𝟯. 𝗜 𝗺𝗮𝘆 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝟯𝟬 𝗱𝗮𝘆𝘀, 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗶 𝗯𝗲 𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝘆 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 (𝗷𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗮 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗮 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.)

Again, maybe, you'll find out when you show up at the immigration office for the 30 day extension :/

You are not going to be able to enter on the DTV issued to one passport if you're using a passport from another country.

The Visa is passport specific you want to enter you enter the country on that passport.

@Sefton *******

I have never seen somebody be able to enter on a passport from another country while holding a Visa tired to the other passport

Don't forget people tomorrow (Friday the 10th) is the last day Immigration offices in the country will be open until 8:30AM on Thursday the 16th

and on that note I see this post has served it's purpose.. Thanks for that update,

remember people check with your immigration office to get the correct forms etc before you go for your extension OR just fill them out once you're there

if it says months on 'seasoning' it's calendar months 'date to date'

Example; two months "seasoning" from July 1 would be to Sept 1 (even though that is actually 62 days because Jul/Aug have 31 days each)

The only exception I've seen to that is if one of the months is Feb (when you should add just a couple days to make sure :P )

I had immigrations send someone away because in their opinion it hadn't been 2 months seasoning as Feb only had 28 days :O

No need to even put more than a single word really

Most people just put "marriage" or "retirement"
