Dear guys,
Just want to share my experience. I'm a Belgian citizen and after the news on Friday, I decided to book a ticket, arrival January 4th 2022, return flight 3nd of March 2022.
As this is longer than the regular 30 day Visa on Arrival, I try to apply for a tourist visa.
Surprise, surprise: due to the covid situation, you are required to book an appointment with the embassy. I'm taking things so much in advance, 2 months and 1 week in advance.
No appointment bookings possible before beginning of January?????? I cannot believe it.
Then I try to find out more about what is going on. On the Thai embassy of The Netherlands, they specified that you can do an e-visa application starting from end of November. But I have no news about Belgium.
I tried to do an e-visa on https://www.thaievisa.go.th/ and it just tells I'm not eligible to apply through the e-visa system. I have to go to the Thai Consulate. I'm not sure what will happen now. Do any of you guys have any more information on this issue.
Who applies for a visa, 2,5 months in forehand? This is totally crazy.
What are the rules now for the Visa on Arrival. Some websites indicate that this is now 45 days? Is it true? If it is the case, can I extend this Visa on Arrival?
Anyone has any idea's on this issue?
