@Jay ********

, a re-entry permit wouldn't take him longer than May 14.

Would be strange if they didn't count the day of arrival.

That would have meant you got no stay permit on the first day.

There is no way to convert a Non-O to another Non-O...

All you have to do is change the reason for your extension of stay.

@Brett *********

, russian passports are NOT visa exempt.

@Brandon ***********

, in Jomtien you can apply when you have 30 days or less.

You are misinformed.

@Dan *****

, from Pattaya I would recommend using one of the the many "visa run companies".

For a border bounce they will take you to Cambodia. Depending on the company you use, you might not even enter Cambodia. You'll be sitting in "no man's land" while the two countries Immigration exchange stamps.

You'll be leaving in the morning and return late afternoon on the same day.

Total cost is around 2000 baht.

At least that's how it worked before Covid-19

@Dan *****

, I will let others answer who is the least strict.

@Dan *****

, there's your answer.

The fake volunteer visa and extension is the reason.

@James *******

, well, this is a group that prides itself with using the correct terminology

@James *******

, just had to 😂😂
