Why was my visa extension denied at Koh Phangan Immigration, and what options do I have now?

Bart **************

that limit isn't set in stone, but indeed it is because the OP is staying too long in tourism-purposed allowances.

Bart **************

They are doing what they're supposed to. And what you are supposed to do: go home. What do you think gives you the privilege to stay long term in Thailand on exemptions and extensions?

All immigrations offices should refuse the extension in this circumstance.

What should I do to activate my DTV visa after entering Thailand on a visa-exempt status?

Bart **************

yeah strange. I do vaguely recall that some border was indeed not aware, but it's a bit much to advise against using them to activate a DTV indefinitely. Everyone should by now be aware that it exists.

Besides, you cannot not use a visa if you have one. If you have a DTV, they can't even stamp you in otherwise.

err, did you read any of the replies?

And I hope we do not have a discussion about whether you can exchange an entry stamp for a different visa at a local immigrations office? This really is established knowledge.

strange that Vietnam can do it, I don't think it's very common countries can do it. I also wouldn't put my bets on a second attempt in Vietnam.
