If you ask me, I would depart on 06 March at latest, saving the hassle of a trip to local Immigration, and let them correct their own mess upon exit, should they choose to do so.

Yeah,
@Robert ******
, until they introduce insurance on non O, and present you with a bill of 396K for a 400K coverage, then you will adjust your perceptions.

What has he got to win by mentioning it? Nothing.

What has he got to lose by mentioning it? His extension, unless he buys insurance.

What has he got to win by not mentioning it? An extension without insurance.

What has he got to lose by not mentioning it? Nothing, worst case they notice it, and they refuse to extend without insurance, which will happen anyway if he mentions it.

I believe they won't.

Play dumb, how can you remember O / O-A whatever, are you an Immigration specialist or...

You're not lying, you simply have no idea. (like many actually don't).

Not everybody spends time on forums, let's be serious.

PS: Many people would also shred old passports (in the shredder) -document destroyer if they don't understand -, to prevent identity theft.

Will Morgan Firstly they scan your passport, then they ask you to put your fingers on the device. The history (which likely includes the last entry or two), would show up at step 1.

New passports link on step 1, regardless of fingerprints, based on date of birth, name etc. Same as before, before biometrics. They linked before also.

Fingerprints would serve to minimize fakes (you entered on your real name before and now you enter on a fake name etc, but same fingerprints).

Biometrics also includes face matching.

Why else would they keep browsing passports looking at history?

I did not have any issues on a new passport, the old one being full of entries. Let's just say i glanced at that screen from behind and did not see tens of pics of me with tens of entries.

A Non Immigrant B visa applied for overseas, with documentation from a Thai company. Then , once in Thailand, he should visit MOL and apply for this:

Visa exempt by air is unlimited, if not abused. If you spend time in other countries also (not 1 day to hurry back to Thailand, plus max your stay out in Thailand), you should not have an issue using visa exempt.

Alternatively, you could consider an SETV in one of the neigboring countries you might travel to, as long as your passport is not full of them already, in which case you may encounter some issues at certain Consulates.

How long are you planning to spend in Thailand on your second entry? If under 60 days, you can enter visa exempt first time, and you will get 30 days, then enter visa exempt the second time, and get 30 days, that you can further extend for 30 more days at local Immigration at a cost of THB 1,900

Hey Tony. Do you mind me asking, did you arrive on October 30 (before midnight) or October 31 (past midnight)?
