Johnny Wansueb yes. you have a 60 day tourist visa given on entry. then apply for a 30 extension in thailand. but people are booking their exit flight outside of the 60 day visa. they're booking their exit flight on the assumption the 30 day extension will be granted. its presumptuous and kind of disrespectful to their rules.
will the airline let you fly out? they know its 60 days. the extra 30 days is an extension at the discretion of thai immigration. so many people game the system. ive done the 60 plus 30 but i show an exit ticket within the 60 days.
Shaun Ie my plan is to go on a 60 day tourist exempt or METV . then find a school that qualifies me for DTV and signing up . then I'll leave for vietnam for a few weeks and apply from vietnam?
Shaun Ie you cant really check out the muay thai gyms very well online.? Im debating whether to go on a 60 day exempt so i can check out schools in bangkok and then hop over to vietnam and apply for the dtv there?
