Hi all ,

I will apply for a 2 entry TV while in Brisbane in January.

I have air-ticket BKK-BNE-BKK.

Even though I will have a 2X TV .....

Will I need to buy another ticket BKK-BNE to show at the airport in Brisbane, or can I buy a cheap train ticket to Malaysia just to show a leaving date ? ( or do i not need to show one ? )

also, is 5 pages enough for my visa .. ?

thanks for any help.

cheers.

Anyone know if there are any problems obtaining a 2x TV from KL? (or is Vientiane still the best place to go?)

Tnx!

I just came back from KL.

KL will provide one TV single entry only.

rgs..

Hi all, just need a little advice here on my visa question.

This week ( Nov 5th ) I will go to KL and apply for a Thai Tourist Visa 2 months. Border runs finished last month for me.

Then December 23rd, I will go to Australia for 2 weeks before coming back to Thailand - (arrive bangkok 8th January.)

My question is , will I need to apply for another Tourist Visa when in Australia as the previous 2 month one from KL will expire approximately January 5th ( 2 months from Nov 5 )

or can I get the one months extension added to the 2 months while in Aussie somehow ? and do I need to make sure the Tourist Visa issued in KL is a double entry or this doesn't matter as a single will only be issued ??

What's my best option ?

Thank's for anyone's help.

cheers.

I agree with Lite Beer you may not get a 2 entry tourist visa in KL. If you end up with a single you can get a 2 entry or even a 3 entry in Australia.

If you get a 2 entry in KL here is another option.

Before leaving in December go to immigration and get a 30 day etension of your 60 day entry (1900 baht). Then get a re-entry permit while at immigration (1000 baht). That would allow you to make your trip without loosing your first entry.

Thank's ubonjoe & litebeer.

So supposing I only get a single entry from KL , then I need to get another Tourist Visa in Aussie to come back.

The 30 day extenstion is not really any help unless I received a double entry in KL ?? correct ??

thanks.

Hi all ,

Can someone please clarify something for me. ( i may not be correct on my assumption here )

I will be leaving Thailand this week for three months. After 3 months I will return for a two week holiday.

I have received two ( 30 day visa exempt border stamps ) so I pressume I have one border run left available based on the 90 days allowed in 6 months rule.

When I return in three months, will I be able to enter Thailand at the airport with an airport 30 day visa exempt stamp or will I have to apply for another TV from abroad before coming ?

dates approx only :

Dec 7 , ( 30 day visa exempt border stamp )

Jan 5 , ( 30 day visa exempt border stamp )

Feb 4 , ( TV 60 day )

Mar --- ( incl TV )

Apr 5 , ( 30 day extension )

RETURN - August 1st .

Thank's for any feedback on this one.

Cheers!

What is going on here...all i see is whining poms...well i guess the restaurant owners are sorry you cannot have roast beaf & yorkshire pudding for Baht99 . It just cannot happen. As far as the pizza slices... come on .. where did you all grow up..uyou wanta good slice of pizza then buy it from a restaurant that specialises in pizzas. You cheap charlies make me laugh !!

Pack up and move out ... there are many nice places around that don't include buzzing in the bedrooms.

You just have to look around.

Talk to an agency and explain you want a buzz free apartment.

good luck.

Completely wrong.

Visas are usually issued to everybody as long as

you have the basic requirements. No onwards ticket

or anything like that is needed.

It take TWO working days to complete.

Application hours is 8.30-11.00 and you pick it up two days

after at 15.00-16.30.

I don't understand the meaning of this forum as long as people

who don't really know what the are talking about are answering

questions here!!!!!

Misterfact , are you saying it takes Two Days or Three Days to process ??

Do you drop the application off in the morning and collect your passport the next day in the afternoon ????

thanks.

hi all ,

just a quick question on Phnom Penh , ( Because AirAsia have cheap flights now )

Australian passort - No entry Visa needed ( do i get a stamp at the airport on entry )

Is two days sufficient to submit & process for Tourist Visa. ?

Thanks again !

steven

That time frame should work if no holidays involved. I suspect you will need a visa for Vietnam but without knowing your passport can not say for sure.

hi all ,

I am considering going to Hanoi for a Thai Tourist Visa.

Do I need a visa to enter Vietnam ?

Will 2 1/2 days be sufficient to submit & obtain the Tourist Visa ?

thanks for any help !!

cheers.

steven100

Have you extended your current visa at immigration for the additional 30 days? If not, that would give you 60 days including the 30 day visa exempt entry.

I am on my second 30 day exempt stamp. I already extended the TV for additional 30 days at the immigration office.

So now only have 1 more 30 day exempt unless I get a TV.

Thanks.

steven.

You can most likely obtain in Penang OK. They had a week or so of being really uptight but believe that has ended and the worst now would be a "do not come again" type stamp.

Have not seen recent reports on Rangoon but from earlier accounts they did not want to issue any visa if you were not a resident.

Thanks Lopburi3, your help is always appreciated. Think i'll do the train to Penang then.

hi all ,

I have two 60 day tourist visas from KL in my passport already & next week I would like to go and get one more at either Penang (by train) or bus to Yangoon.

Is there any concern or problem to get another TV at in Penang ? or would I be best to go to Yangoon ?(never been there)

I do have one more 30day stamp up my sleeve but i just want the TV in case 30days is not enough. I am leaving for a job soon back home.

Thanks for any advise .

cheers

Thanks Florin, Oswulf and everyone for the good feedback. It all helps.

I think i may do the KL trip as it seems easier and i know the routine.

Regards,

steven100

Did that sometime ago, great trip...and the embassy does not really want an onward ticket, they ask for one, but if you don't have one they're "mai pen rai" about it.

hi Florin & Tropo , just a couple of questions on the thai embassy in Hanoi for a 60 day Thai Tourist Visa. No visa needed for overnight stay in Vietnam ?

Do you have any idea on the processing time... one overnight is ok ? because if I arrived on a monday at 1.00pm is that to late to submit & collect Tuesday afternoon ?

thanks for any help.

steven100

Hi all, can anybody advise me if there is a Thai embassy or consulate in Hanoi so I may be able to fly there and obtain a Tourist Visa for thailand.

I may look at going on a Monday and staying 2 nights and come back Wednesday morning.

Last 2 times I went to KL which was fine but now Air Asia have a good promotion for Hanoi.

Any help appreciated.... don't want any bad suprises when I get there.

Thank's

Hi all ,

just a quick question, I will be flying to KL next month for my second Tourist Visa. ( back to back )

Do I need to show or provide evidence of an exit train ticket or aeroplane ticket leaving thailand to the thai consulate, as Lopburi3 mentioned it previously to someone going to Ho Chi min for there 4th TV. ?

I wasn't asked last time in KL.

I don't want to go and find out I'm suppose to have one.

Thank's again all.

great website & always helpful.

steve.

To be honest, no one can say for sure.

It has been asked for at land border entries. I personally was asked to show a outward ticket on entering Thailand in June for a no visa entry (30 day stamp).

The truth is.....you can't be sure. However if it is possible, get the ticket. If you need it, no problem. If you don't need to show it, you're ahead anyhow.

Just make sure it is refundable if you get one. Pay full cash, and it should be refundable.

thanks IMA_FARANG ,

maybe i'll get a train ticket just in case. Cost about Bht1050 , and 80% refundable.

cheers.

steven.

Have not heard of anyone being asked for tickets at Consulate in KL (or any down south).

thanks Lopburi3,

Just my opinion : I consider KL the best & easiest place for applications.

thank's Lopburi3 and all the other replies with advise.

You've all convinced me not to do the Phnom Penn route, I shall either go back to KL or try Singapore.

weather report - Bangkok : scattered showers , Riyadh : hot & dry

Hi all ,

has anyboby on the board here ever gone to Phnom Penn in Cambodia and applied for a Thai Tourist Visa.

Q. Can in be processed overnight. ( submit at thai embassy in the morning and receive next day AM. )

It's just that some places you have to stay 2 nights & others only 1 night. I am not familar with Phnom Penn.

eg :

KL can do overnight

Singapore can do overnight

Penang is 2 nights

Phnom Penn ?

thanks for any advise
