faxx Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 A few weeks ago I applied fonhline for a TR Visa. Unfortunately, it took weeks to process and was issued after I had already entered into Thailand on a visa waiver. I was reading on FB groups that some members there have been able to visit immigration and were able to have their entry stamps adjusted and the visa included while other experts stated it was not possible at all. Anybody here has tried to change from waiver to visa successfully and care to confirm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimn Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Visit immigration and ask to consider a change to your visa status. @ubonjoewill confirm if this is possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure those were case where somebody entered the country but arrival immigration did not notice they had a valid visa and gave them a visa exempt entry or stamped the wrong date on the arrival stamp. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they stated expressively that it was a good will gesture of the IO at the time as they are aware of the long delays in the new evisa system. I used to be able to receive a visa within 30 minutes at the Thai consulate, while it takes around 3 weeks with the online system. I will have my friends call them to inquire.

Personally, I wouldn't bother calling, you won't get a good answer without them looking at your papers anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
