thanks guys, cheers for the help!

ahhh okie, thankyou for clearing that up! all this visa malarky is extremely confusing!

hello, im sorry if this has been posted before but i could not see anything related when i had a look. If anyone could help or offer any advice i would be extremely greatful!

I am basically planning a trip, with two other friends, we have bought our tickets and are now on the visa stage of our planning!

I have been looking up types of Visas for Thailand only to find that they start the date they are issued. This is a huge problem for me as i will be in India for two months before i go to Thailand, which means (if i have read this right) a tourist visa (60 days) is out of the question for us because i would apply a month before leaving the uk and then be in India for 2 months, which means it would run out when i get to thailand.

I have read about the visa exemption rule where you can stay for 30 days and extend this, but you must have proof of leaving within 30 days of arriving, and i have a ticket booked to leave two months after arriving in Thailand.

Sorry i hope this isn't too confusing! and i hope someone can help!?

Cheers.
