that’s what I’ll probably do but I wondered why the visa itself wasn’t stamped “used” like all my others have been

It’s okay to be wrong sometimes 🤷🏻‍♀️

Like I said I witnessed my friend do it, and I verified his stamp. He took great joy in showing me his 90 days knowing he needed only 30 himself and I was going to have to pay 1900 baht just to get 60.

Not only that but I’ve known of several others who have crossed the border and received their 90 days.

Just not sure about Mae Sai ...

Miguel Angelo In another group, this was asked and someone said that they were told when trying to cross at Mae Sai that they wouldn’t get their 90 days. I can’t remember if they actually crossed the border and got

/whatever days or if they didn’t bother to go through with it at all.

Of course, hearsay.

Edit: Also possible he’d already met his 2 visa exemptions and that’s why it was not allowed.

I was with a Chilean friend and we crossed overland from Vientiane (WITHOUT visas). He received 90 days at the border. This was early Feb 2018.

@Liam ****
I don’t think you’d get stamped in for another 60 days. Just whatever time was remaining on the original visa?
Michelle *******
@Ron ******
you are allowed to cross overland *on the exemption scheme* twice per calendar year.

This is well known.

Has nothing to do with 60 day visas.

I realize it might be a bit late for you, but thought I’d add my experience for the next person to search for this embassy. 🙂

I received a visa from here. I showed them my ticket leaving Nepal that was 3 days later and asked that they process in 2 days. They agreed.

I had 0 proofs with me, but they did ask about proof of funds. I didn't have access to anything at the time so I showed them my credit card (just the card-- not the statement) and they agreed.

The embassy was soo quiet, hardly anyone there at all and it was just so easy and friendly!

This was in April :)

When I received my 60 day visa from Yangon about 1 year ago, I did not show them proof of onward travel. Just my roundtrip ticket from Thailand to Myanmar and back to Thailand (as I booked them together the were printed together).

I'm considering my next visa from this embassy but don't wish to book a flight out of Thailand if I can avoid it...

If you could update when you go if they required that it would be most appreciated :)
