I applied for a 60 day multiple entry visa back in June for Sept 5 travel day. Of course as usual they requested additional info on July 24, which I sent the same day. Heard nothing until I emailed Visa Section in LA today. They then gave the same email I had responded to on July 24. I again sent them the same requested info.

I'm sure I'll receive the visa before my travel date, but if not would I just arrive on the 30 day visa and get an extension at immigration in Bangkok?

We have freinds from California who want to come to phuket and have been told that they can only enter for 2 weeks then they need to leave the country and renter for another 2 weeks .

Has anyone heard of that as seems very strange to me.
