Please can someone recommend any good dentists in Bangkok which is reasonably priced. Preferably you had treatment there a while ago and can give feedback on whether you are happy with what they did. - I have heard a couple of stories about people getting work done and believed it to be good, but then (many months later) have problems due to infection underneath the filling because it wasn't cleaned out properly. If you know of any dentists to absolutely avoid, that would also be good for this list ;)

I thought I would update how the 30-day visa went at Laksi: PS: I was currently on a 30 day waiver and applied for an additional 30 days at Laksi. I went to immigration at I.T. Square, Laksi (3rd Floor). I was one day overstayed and it was completely fine. It's just a standard procedure to pay the 500 baht penalty, and it was without any worry or slap on the wrist. I asked my hotel to do a TM30 (which they did online) and they sent me a screenshot of it. I printed it out (and was completely fine). There are a few photocopy and print shops in the same room as immigration. I spent about 30 mins filling in forms and organising stuff, and then I had to wait about 2 hours to get seen, and then an additional 30 mins to receive the completed visa in my passport. I arrived at about 2pm and left at about 5pm I was customer number 255 of the day, and it went to almost 400 (last person). I had a 1 hour massage while I was waiting (directly opposite the queue), one of the massage staff was checking the queue number (from time to time). All in all, an easy afternoon. Apparently, you can now book your appointment online, rather than queue and wait. I have NO IDEA how it works. But thought i'd mention it.

Do they require me to show an outbound flight ticket? Right now I didnt get one. I could always book one while at immigration if they demand it. But,, generally speaking, do they usually ask for proof of exit ?

Isn't the ChangWattana immigration office (in the huge government complex) the exact same thing as LakSi immigration office ? or, is there a reason you said "attend LakSi immigration office not CW".

ooh. I booked on booking.com and the hotel didnt even ask me for my passport when I checked in. if I turn up to changwattana, will it hinder my application? also: what would happen if I turn up to changwattana immigration 1 day AFTER my current visa expires? is it a simple "pay 500 baht fine" and then they add the extension?

British Passport. Current Visa: 30 days visa waiver. Just a day or two to go before it ends... But I want to stay an extra week or two. I dont fancy doing a visa-run. Am I correct that I just need to go to ChangWattana and get a 7 day extension? (or is it 30 days)? or can I get longer ? Also: what would happen if I turned up to ChangWattana 1 day AFTER my current visa expires? is it a simple case of paying the 500 baht overstay fine, and then getting the extension?

I'm gonna do the Visa Exemption method. So much easier. I only need a month, so its fine 😉

Thank you 🙂

I am a UK Passport holder. so does that mean I automatically get 30 days upon arrival in Suvarnabhumi. Would it be the same if I arrive (internationally) to Don Muang or Phuket? PS: So I guess this article is incorrect: https://www.handyvisas.com/news/thailand-to-keep-45-day-visa-free-stays-until-the-end-of-2023/

UK Passport

I want to stay in Thailand for about a month. I am a UK Passport Holder. I read online there is a Visa on Arrival at Suvarnabhumi which gives 15 days I also read online there is a Visa Exemption which is 30 days. I also read that the 30 day exemption is now 45 days. I can't work out the difference between a Visa on Arrival and a Visa Exemption. Can I get either? How would I choose the 30 or 45 day exemption?

Thanks for all the input. I may just come on a Visa on Arrival. is it 15 days visa on arrival at Suvarnabhumi? 30 would be perfect for my needs. I just read a few articles online saying there is a 30 day and 45 day visa exemption. is this true? I'm from the UK. Do I need to do anything to obtain either of these ?

It vets your Nationality and Location. The second I put my Location as India, I am not allowed to continue. But if I put UK as my Location, I can proceed.

I'm a British National and have Two Questions: (1) I am currently in Mumbai India and want to get a thai tourist visa (60 days). Has anyone had experience with the Thai Consulate in Mumbai? How is it there? What is the turn-around time ? How are the queues, etc ? (2) British nationals are NOT allowed to apply for an e-visa if they are currently in India. But what is to stop me from applying? or, is it a silly idea?
