ChristianP Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 My application for a "non immigrant "0" visa for 3 months" was approved AFTER I entered Thailand from Germany. Can I stay in Thailand for 3 months without further ado or do I have to leave and re-enter Laos, for example? Please also describe small things I am inexperienced in visa matters.

Caldera Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 You'll have to leave and reenter Thailand. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How long do you wish to stay in Thailand. Also was your non O based on retirement or marriage etc Edited October 10, 2022 by DrJack54 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onerak Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 This is an interesting situation. I assume he entered Thailand with a visa exempt and then got his approval letter for Non-O in the email. May be the best course of action will be to go to an immigration office and find out if it possible to convert the exempt entry to an Non-O or not. If not, how about leaving the country and renter with the e-visa for full 90-day permission to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something that makes him need to go outside the country to enter again and activate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct ...I didn't read it carefully. Assume the OP entered visa exempt. He will need to exit and reenter (at some point) to activate his non O. He would need to check if this is 100% ok with a land border exit and reentry. Edited October 11, 2022 by DrJack54 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Confused as to what O/P has done. I entered Thailand on visa exempt and went to local I/O and changed this to Non Imm O. Non IM O was stamped in my passport at I/O and I was told that I could do a Retirement extension in the last month of this visa. Not required to leave Thailand to get this isa an assume it is valid for 90 days.; that is what is stamped in my passport. Now waiting out the 60+ days until I can do the Retirement extension. Told by I/O when visa issued that no problems, just had to get all the stuff for retirement visa. . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure it would be possible and of course it could depend upon the crossing they used. Most reports of doing it are from people that have done it by air.
