Hi all,

I applied for a tourist visa of 2 months, but the application process was so slow it got processed when I was already on the airplane. Therefor, I my application was cancelled by the consulate in Belgium. It seems they had a serious backlog in processing visa's due to holiday season and computer problems. And now I am left with a issue on how to stay beyond the 30 day visa on arrival. 

So, my questions are, how can I get another 30 days?

1. Is a visa on arrival extension limited to only 7 days? This is what I figured out but I am not sure if it is up to date information and if it is correct. 

2. Is it true that the border crossing is still limited to only 15 days? 

3. Any other suggestions, or is flying in and out the only option to get another 30 days? 

Any help is more than welcome. 

Hi all,

As a Belgian citizen, I applied for a tourist evisa on the 20th of december. Today, 28th of december, my application is still pending. Knowing that I will arrive on January 3rd in Thailand, I start to stress out. I will stay 2 months. Of course, I could buy a train ticket to go to Laos or another neighboring country and do a "visa run" but out of experience, I have always known that the appliction for a visa is always 1 working day. 

What is happening? Anybody else having the same experience. 

Legalize cannabis will attract all kind of figures. To the point that the Thais will start to hate the farang. It's a sad truth.

I want to keep you all informed that I got a message from the Embassy they will allow Belgian citizens to apply for a tourist visa through the e-visa website beginning of December. 

This will solve my issue. But I know this is freaking out many people!

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? 

And what is the price for the quarantine hotel accommodation? Just wondering how much financial efforts these aliens made to pay Thailand a visit.... Someone any idea?

I travel to Thailand every year, January and February. Next year I'll pass. And believe me, I'm a hard-line visitor as my wife's from there. 

I own a Toyota Corrola Altis from 2006. It's a pretty old car, but it runs like a charm.

I have always filled up the tank with the regular gasohol 91 as this is what is mentioned as the correct fuel.

My question is, can I use E20 or E85 instead? People are giving me random answers, so I want to know if you guys know if the engine is "compatible" with either E20 or E85.

Thanks for any answers!

I'm living in Sima Condo at only 200m from the terminal. The niece of my wife is still inside. This is unbelievable.

It seems the guy is still inside the building. The niece her phone battery is about to die, so my wife is in total panic.

I never thought this was possible in Khorat and Thailand.

Would be interesting to hear if:

 

she has been released

that her viral numbers are near zero

that she has been tested for antibodies

 

There have been some reports that viral numbers stay elevated (and thus still able to infect others) for a period after the cessation of symptomatic illness.

 

 

The graph made by Dr. John Campbell. The best and most honest virologist on youtube. I love this guy. He is doing his video's because it is his passion; And he is not seeking more viewers nor money of viewers.

Thailand politicians turned their back to the European tourists. And they focused on the rich Chinese. Now they will pay the price. 

Thanks for the reply. The online visa application for Laos is $ 119. What is the current price at the border. I see it sais only $ 30 when applying at the border. Is that correct?

Hi all,

I'm on a Visa on Arrival and my 30 days will run out on Feb. 2nd.

I'm planning a trip to Laos via the Friendship Bridge in Nong Khai. I'll stay a couple of days in Laos, before heading Back to Thailand over the Friendship Bridge again into Thailand.

As a Belgian citizen, when returning to Thailand, will I get 15 days or 30 days Visa On Arrival when getting back to Thailand?

Depending on the number or days, I will have to stay longer or not in Laos, as my return flight is on the 28th of February.

I am so confused, some people tell me it changed again to 30 days, others tell me it is still 15 or 14 days.

Someone have a recent experience?

Regarding the Laos visa, can I still get the visa at the border, or should I apply in forehand? What is the current price for a Laos visa. I guess just a picture is required? (this is knowledge from experience from border crossing of 10 years ago. I have no idea if something has changed about this matter ever since, just askin...)

Thanks for any help.

This is a very common practice in the tourist industry. the guides will bring their customers to the shops restaurants Etc that give the highest commission. 

They should start the same policy as in the Philippines. Shoot the dealers and the drug users. 

As a farang, you have no right to ask an id card. 

And when the love is gone, he will wake up from his dream and his reality will be a living nightmare where he lost all his money

The new Phuket in the making....

I love kho Chang, but I'll never go there again if they build a bridge. Prices will skyrocket, noise pollution due to increased traffic will skyrocket. It will be spoiled in a matter of a few years. 

I'm happy I'm half way my life cycle. Finding unspoiled places has become impossible. I'll move to Cambodia. 

So sad...

Dear all,

can someone tell me if I can buy a chinese tourist visa while I'm staying in Bangkok. I will be there on a visa on arrival and I plan to visit China by the end of January.

I'll be in Thailand on a visa on arrival.

I do get some reports, they do not provide chinese visa's to foreigners, other than Thai's? Is that true. That is a problem, as I have not enough time here in Belgium left over to get a visa for my chinese trip.

Any advise is appreciated.

Shift to Mac, fellows....much less hassle and bullsh*T

Apple is the biggest scammers out there. Their overpriced products and especially their repair policy and warranty is the biggest scam in the world. Take 15 minutes of your precious time to watch the video below and wake up from the marketing dream Apple wants you to believe. 

Be rational instead of emotional, as Apple is misleading people by abusing their emotions for their own profit. 

Will this ignite WW3? I'm worried about the Russian answer to this strike if any of the Russian Military are hurt.

This does not look very good.
