During “my friend’s” 3rd visa exempt entry this year the IO (supervisor level) at DM airport almost denied entry and only gave a 30 day stamp after purchased a ticket out of Thailand right in front of them. IO said they were writing a note in the file that if a 30 day extension was requested it should be denied and would get a 1 year ban. That IO said have to apply for a visa from outside Thailand, no more visa exempt entries. I don’t know if just got unlucky with the IO who made up a new rule or if there is now a limit on visa exempt entries.
Intend to do a visa run to Vietnam to apply for a Tourist Visa.
Have any experience getting a Thai Tourist Visa issued in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam?
