Apparently it started yesterday! Either way, I'm the same as you, I don't trust them to not reverse it before I travel so I wanted to get an eVisa for peace of mind. All approved now so all good. I submitted it Friday and approved Monday. Would use again. 👍

I already have a real hotel booking for a week from the day we arrive, however the booking confirmation I submitted didn't have the full address and telephone number which I now realise is the additional info they requested. Instead I submitted a signed letter from my wife detailing that we would stay in her house after the hotel. They just wanted a copy of her ID card and now the visa has been approved. I've also heard rhay today they have started doing the 60 day entry stamps which is just my luck! 🤣

Just realised the problem. The booking confirmation I sent them didn't have the full address and telephone number of the hotel on it.

Well that didn't work! So I can now make a letter from my wide stating out our travel plans and the address and dates we will stay in the house, but there is no Thai phone number to put on it because she is in the UK and doesn't have a Thai number any more.

Thanks. Submitted and paid for now. If it goes wrong I'll get a cheap flight to Malaysia so I can fly to Thailand. Cheers

I'm in the UK too. Thanks I'll complete the application now. What did you use as proof of your current location? A home addressed letter?

Thanks. Do you know how long it takes to get the eVisa processed?

Can anyone help with the eVisa application please? We are going in 1 month for 39 days. First, is it worth doing an eVisa or does it take a long time to process or have a chance of being glitched or rejected? So far, my experience on the website is that it's quite glitchy. The alternative to getting an eVisa would be booking a cheap flight out of Thailand before my 30 visa entry stamp and then going to Immigration to extend my 30 days. This is how I've done it before. The part I'm stuck on for the eVisa is accommodation. We are going for 39 days, the first week is in a hotel I've pre-booked. The rest of the trip will be staying at our house in Ubon. The only option for this on the application is to select "Private Accommodation" but then it asks for the name of the property. I assumed I put my wife's name (?) but then it needs a Thai phone number which isn't applicable because my wife is currently with me in the UK and doesn't have a Thai phone number, and there's no landline at the house. Am I doing this wrong? Is there another way to specify staying at someone's house? TIA

I'm travelling to Thailand on 22nd July. Is this new 60 day visa exempt rule going to happen before then? If not, is everyone using the eVisa? I'm currently doing an application on there but it's much more complicated than it needs to be. Does anyone know how long it takes for the eVisa to process? And are they generally successful? TIA

Hi. My Thai wife and I live permanently in the UK. We would like her two parents to visit and stay with us for the first time for a holiday. We are both in the UK at the moment. My wife has found several agents in Thailand who could assist with her parent's UK visit visa, compile and translate all of their paperwork and documents, fill in the application and apply for the visa for them, but there is no consistency between what any of them are saying needs to be done. My in-laws are in Ubon Rachathani. Once agency is saying that they will have to travel to Bangkok just to do biometrics at VFS at the Trendy building. Is this correct or can biometrics be done in other cities? Could somebody please help me by telling me what the actual formalities are now? I applied for all of my wife's UK visit visas while we lived in Thailand but it was much easier being there to do it, and the procedure sounds different to how it is now. Are there any agents in Ubon who would do everything for us, including Biometrics there? We would just like to get this done in the easiest way possible for her parents. Shipping them to BKK and back just to do biometrics doesn't seem like the easiest way! Thanks in advance for any help.

Awesome. Thank you. My family will all be entering on their Thai passports.

Thank you for the reply. So I can just buy any flight to depart Thailand within 30 days of my entry and receive the 30 day entry stamp like before? How do you extend the 30 day entry stamp? No border runs required now? Will my Thai wife and our Thai/British kids require the COVID insurance too for this 6 week trip? Thanks

We are planning a family trip to Thailand this summer to visit the in laws after not being able to for the last 3 years. I've just found the online Thai eVisa system and I cannot provide a lot of the information at this time like flights etc. Is it still a 30 days entry free stamp when landing in Thailand? Are land border runs still possible and give 15 days? Could I book a throwaway flight that would depart Thailand after 30 days but then do a land border run instead? Apart from the ePass, what other paperwork is involved now for visiting Thailand on an entry free stamp? Thank you in advance.
