Is it acceptable to make a flight reservation to Vietnam after spending 20 days in Thailand if I haven't received my visa yet?
Steve *******
@Lisa *******************
 It does matter, onward or return travel needs to be within 30 days of your visa exemption for boarding purposes. You can APPLY to extend your visa exemption but although rarely refused it's not 100% guaranteed.
