Not necessarily. Just to avoid questions if I accumulate too much visa exempt entries.

Yup, that's what I did as well, and I triple checked that everything was submitted. Well I took another selfie, maybe they disliked my shirt, who knows. ????

Picture of the applicant holding and showing the info page of the applicant’s passport ( to identify if the applicant’s face is the same person as the passport holder) Yep, I tried to google it for an example, but couldn't find any. I asked 3 friends who are policemen (2 in my home country, and one in Thailand). I trusted their expertise in criminal matters, but none of them have a clue why the picture I sent in should not qualify. So if someone knows an example with exact dimensions or similar experience please reply. Or I might just not be handsome enough to fulfil their requirements.

Well to answer the question, mostly to avoid too much screening by immigration, or running into one who stepped out with the wrong foot first. Even if it's technically possible to spend full time on visa extension runs and the 30 day extensions.

I think the question says it all. The question is of course meant for those who enjoy visa exempt entries anyways. So what would happen if for example you see a cheap last minute, jump into the plane prior you got confirmation for your e-visa? Would it get void if you attemt to use it on a later entry from a neighboring country.?
