How long does it take to get a Thai tourist evisa at the Los Angeles consulate?
Is this an advertisement for Siam Legal or did you really get taken for a ride? I got my retirement visa from the Royal Thai Embassy in Washington, D.C. in July, 2011. I believe the fee was somewhere around $200. Very simple, no problems
