Getting A Thai Visa In China ?

[rexall]

Wed 23 June 04

Hi,

I am a new guy.

Anyone have experience obtaining a Thai visa in China?

I am an American working in Guangdong, China. I will be returning to LOS in a couple of months and had planned to apply for a Non-immigrant "B" in Hong Kong. However, I just read the warning on ThaiVisa.com advising to avoid the consulate in Hong Kong as it is a real bummer and often refuses visas. Is that true?

Hong Kong and Guangzhou are equally convenient (or inconvenient) to where I am. Anyone have experience with the Thai consulate in Guangzhou?

Please, I hope you don't tell me that I am better off doing something like applying in Penang on my way to Bangkok ??

And one more question. If I apply for a visa, say, one month before I depart for LOS, is it possible to delay the activation date until I leave so I don't lose a month?

Thanks for any info. Much appreciated.

Aloha,

Rex

If it is a single entry Business visa, you have 3 months in which to make entry into Thailand, and the visa period starts on arrival, so you will get a 90 day stamp at the airport when you get to Thailand.

^ Has this address changed then? I got a multiple from there for a teacher a few months ago?

The address I posted is the current listing in the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs handbook for 2004, and then I googled it to the MFA website, and the address you gave is shown there for current address. Thai rules Ken

Thanks for all the replies, guys. I appreciate it.

Has anyone had any personal experience getting a Non-immigrant "B" in Guangzhou? Any difficulties? Can they do it the same day or do you have to come back?

Thanks!
