delta initially denied me boarding because my trip was 31 days. This seems to happen frequently. I booked a 120 dollar throw away ticket to Cambodia. Delta wasn't even interested in it. They just called their supervisors and put on some sort of override.
My question is, yes, your friend can get in, AND pay for an extension if needed. But if there is already an approval in the works, does it absolutely have to be issued bunches LA consulate?
well I'm leaving Friday. So hopefully the airport isn't affected like a decade ago. Ideally, im just looking at easier steps for immigration. But of course, we can't all get everything we want
Depends on a cost benefit analysis. How much are changing fees with tickets vs at least a day waiting at immigration, getting a residence certificates for 500 baht and the 30 day extension for 1900 baht. At a minimum, that's one day waiting in heat, IF you have all required documents and paying maybe 80 USD?
