I found this thaivisa.com list that was updated 10Nov2003.

http://www.thaivisa.com/479.0.html

The search result for Romania to enter Thailand on www.th4u.com stated:

Citizens of that country MAY NOT enter the kingdom of Thailand

without a previously obtained Visa.

You are required to obtain a Visa, prior to arrival in the kingdom of Thailand.

Verify that your Passport is valid for more than 6 months and contact the

Consular Section of the Royal Thai Embassy in your (or nearest) country.

The Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs web site is unclear and doesn't list Romania.

Dear all,

booked up to come to Thailand in January, I hold British passport , my girlfriend who is Romanian holds a three year visa for here in Japan. Will she need a tourist visa prior to arrival ?

Sandy

Thanks, lopburi, have had a look at that site now and it looks as though we are too late to apply for her visa as we were planning on going in January, and they request that you apply 90 days prior to arrival, looks like we may have to go elsewhere for some sun and sand!!

Read again. Not earlier than 90 days is my read. Two weeks is the recommended time prior to travel.

You do not require a visa for up to 30 day tourist stay in Thailand.  But your girlfriend must have a valid tourist visa prior to boarding aircraft.  She will not be allowed to remain in Thailand without a valid visa and your relationship will have no effect on this.

Thanks for that lopburi, I thought that her being Romanian might throw a spanner in the works, we will have to see what the Thai embassy over here will grant her,

cheers, Sandy

You've  got  no  problems  providing  each  visit  does  not  exceed  30  days......UK  citizens  are  on  the  list  of  39  countries  entitled  to  30  day  stay  visa  exemption  on  arrival  stamps. However  as  far  as  i  can  see  Romania  is  not  on  the  list  so  your  girlfriend  will  have  to  obtain  a  tourist  visa  in  Japan  before  her  visit  to  Thailand..........i/m  not  sure  how  "user  friendly"  the  Thai  Embassy  is  in  Japan  but  she  may  be  able  to  obtain  a  double  entry  or  even  a  triple  entry  tourist  visa  enabling  her  to  stay  for  180 (double  entry)  or  even  270  days (with  a triple  entry  visa).......these  figures  include  2  thirty  extensions  within  Thailand  and  1  border  run  in  the  case  of  the  double  entry  and  3  thirty  day  extensions  and  2  border  runs  in  the  case  of  the  triple  entry  visa.Regards  apartment......whereabouts?

Dear all,

I am currently working in Japan on a 90 day visa and in January plan on coming to Thailand for a two week holiday with my girlfriend who is Romanian.

1) do we need to get visas first or just fill in the normal paperwork on the aeroplane?

2) I am going to be based down here for a long time and would like to make Thailand my home base even though I will not be working there, I will be working on a month on month off basis so my getting re-entry visas should not be a problem but will my girlfriend be able to stay in Thailand in my absence?

3) What is the going rental rate for a decent apartment there?

Thanks, Sandy
