I had an issue with this the last time I flew into DMK from Vietnam. I got held and told I needed to purchase a return ticket back home for them to allow me in. I got the ticket and they let me back in on the visa exemption. I then decided to apply for the ED visa. When I went to extend my visa for another 30 days while Waiting for the ED visa to process immigration told me that I had to immigration at the airport that I would fly back to my country on a certain date so they only gave me 6 day extension till I had to leave. Lucky for me I had the copies of the paperwor, recipt showing I paid the school to start My ED visa application. I told them that I was just waiting for it to get approved so I could start class and that’s why I wanted the extension. The amended the 6 days and gave me a full 30 days. So right now I’m just waiting for the ED visa approval. I hope everything goes well.
