Yes, he was born James Donald Bowman, grew up around Middleton Ohio, not poor went to Yale, changed middle name to David, changed name again to Jimmy Hamel, changed name to JD Vance 10 years ago when he married.......😉
Bring it on TeddyG, when it dips below -15c, You, Delta Forces, Rangers, Green Berets, Seals, 82nd Airborne trigger men will be curled up calling their Moms......
Maybe their thought is if folks cannot afford a 1800 baht steak and several cocktails dinner, the online e-visa process may be difficult for this group of people to obtain, or in fact cancel all together the free 60 day exempt entry for the entire planet........
The OA visa is obtained at Thai Embassies outside Thailand, the Non O can be obtained abroad at home Embassies or here in Thailand. The OP now needs to kill off his OA by exiting Thailand prior to his extension of stay stamp date ( without a re entry permit ) and return after stamp date - OA is now killed off and can start the Non O process without health insurance headaches......
I had the OA a few years back. Your OA is valid for 1 year, To kill the OA you need to exit Thailand just before the OA visa sticker expiry date. As already said do not get a re entry permit prior to leaving. You can return to Thailand with a 90 day Non O from home Thai embassy or return exempt and get the Non O here, you'll need a bank account here.
Reduce exempt entry to about 10 countries, from what I've read here an online tourist e-visa is no simple task....and watch things get better for the police........get that damn 'money mindset' in control as been said already.......
