very rarely do you see people going for a second 30 day extension, which doesn’t exist. So “winning the lottery” has absolutely nothing to do with the “leave in 7 days stamp”
Not getting the first 30 day extension would be as rare as you say as thats generally just a formality
Also i think Mike meant he was being sarcastic, not ironic. You definitely have to be pretty out to lunch trying to get back to back extensions, much less after overstaying.
yea its a bit of a hot mess, i’d like one in theory but not sure it’s worth it as it stands now. Made an extra account back home and mostly deal with cash works but having an in country Plan B would be optimal.
because i spend my winters here and i would much rather have a thai card with a thai account for daily use, and if i ever needed to replace it it would be a lot easier. No real mental gymnastics going on here
