Embassy in LA said the same thing that it couldn’t be extended. My flight got pushed out so I just applied for a Tourist Visa so I didn’t have to worry about it. You would think something so basic would be known by every Embassy.
when they mailed your passport back? I just checked the tracking number of my return package and it was mailed back today but I never got an email from the RTC.
The visa exemption scheme is what you want. That’s what you get at the airport in Thailand. It’s 30 day (extended to 45 day). It’s what they stamp in your passport when you arrive.
