Agree wholeheartedly about Joe. ????????

I would not be leary of the process. i am very much not Internet capable and I was able to do it myself. Very rewarding. Once you get it submitted, they are good at sending you emails to assist. Very pleasant and desiring to help. Imho.

Submitting the incorrect application got their attention and they responded requesting complete PDFs for lodging bookings for full timeframe, flight tickets, bank statement and the last one was the declaration. Submitted the last document late last Friday and received the approved Tourist Visa early this morning, Monday. Love it when a plan comes together. Submitted on 7/04. Two emails from them responded to and visa in hand on 7/25. Three weeks until my flight.

The submission was not too difficult.

Actually, my understanding is that the site below is the only way to get a visa in the United States. In the application, you verify by your license what consulate has your area services and they process the visa. I could be wrong. Lol. https://www.thaievisa.go.th/

This is what is required for a 60 day tourist visa. ????????????

Will let you know when I hear from them and, yes, it comes by email and no need to send in passport. Love that as it was a hassle last year when completing the COE. Proof of Employment. Is not required for the Tourist Visa that I applied to get.

Figured my update concerning LA Thai Consulate might be appropriate to be posted her also. “Update: No travel agents have any updated knowledge of how to navigate the Thai E Visa site. Worked with five of them. Right now, you must download 11 supporting documents for the visa request to be submitted. The documents are below: - Bio Page of Passport - Passport Photo - Declaration - Travel/Flight Booking - Proof of Accommodations - Bank Statement - Copy of license - Flights. Redundant from above - Passport pages for international travel for last year - Driver’s license. Redundant from above - Picture with me holding passport info page In the application, you identify the Thai Consulate that serves your area and THEY process the application. The purpose of the driver’s license is to identify the right consulate. You cannot get in touch by phone and no walk-in is allowed. Anyway, I spent three hours yesterday working diligently taking pictures, making reservations and downloading one page in each category. It was challenging as I am not a “download” knowledge kind of guy. Lol. i was successful in submitting my application for the Tourist Visa and it is in processing as of 7/15. I fly out on the 16th if August so plenty of time. Figure they will come back and want more stuff but, at least, I got the process started. Ubonjoe, please correct anything that I have wrong as you, always, have the superior knowledge. This is just my experience. Thanks.”

I started the application on the 5th of July. Sent emails to two agent services. One in Thailand and one in LA. Will let you all know as I work through. Thanks .

Not Thai, American. Sorta catch 22. Tourist visa seems easy but no one has updated their systems. Guess the only thing to do is to wait and see if they clarify things as I get closer. I leave about five weeks from today. Thanks. ????????

Thanks. I set up an account for the E-Visa and it requires Covid insurance, hotels, Thai Pass, etc. it does not look like they have updated the E-Visa site for new requirements that went into effect 1st of Julie. All the agency sites do not seem to be updated yet. Does anyone know about border runs? I could go in under 30 exempt, get extension and do a border for the final 30 days.

Hi All, You all, especially Ubonjoe, helped me tremendously last February to enter Thailand. After two weeks quarantine and two weeks of freedom, I cut my trip short because of the Covid situation at the time. Bummer. My wife and I are ready to try again. I will travel to Thailand arriving on 8/17 and intend to spend 90 days with my wife joining me for the last thirty. I hope to do Tourist Visa for 60 days and 30 Jomtien extension. My problem is that I can find no one in Southern California that can assist in this as all seem to have no knowledge of the requirements after 7/1/2022. Even the agency websites contain all the information of the prior requirements. The LA Consulate is only doing E-Visa ones. The E-visa seems to contain a lot of the old requirements. Have anyone here gotten a Tourist Visa since the requirements came in 1st of July? What other way is there to stay 90 days? Thanks.
