i did not do full bounce, but had motorbike trip to Malaysia land boarder, then from Langkawi (MY) boat to Ko Lipe (TH) (just asked VISA pdf as they did not see in the system), then went back to Langakawi and motorbike back again TH via lang boarder and there as well was fast, only PDF + passport. Sure it is free.
I made a smaller laminated visa pdf version which fits into passport. They were not thrilled, but accepted as all info were there just smaller and in 2 sides :) I do travel too much in and out...
Btw they do see the previous DTV arrival reasons' stamps...
No idea why their boarder controll system does not automatically flag which passport has what (active) VISA. Although they knew about all my other country passports..
yeh, but they knew about a passport which was never used as I just got it 1 month before at Hungary as my personal request of early renewal. And I did not use that one to enter.
do you have legal text for airline request for departure or for immigration law to have out ticket?
An onwardsticket purchase is like 12$ to have something but soo useless when someone just wanna travel based on weather conditions...and or with motorbike out.
I got as well Employment prohibited mark, and applied with home country work contract. that is fine, we can"t get work visa, employment, but can work as digital nomad for outside Thai company/customers.
I'm not visa expert, I'm educated about Visa options as of my interest to get the long one since a year... Tod mentioned Visa points where you have to register for it, and follow requirements there.
For LTR possible within country, as well preferred to get the LTR stamp in Bangkok as I see... and they are really helpfull in email, they answered all my questions how to prepare documents and what I need to make sign with my employer (if they wish to sign, that is a bitter question now for next 2 weeks... or I go with DTV)
