problemfarang Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) Hi, My friend is coming back to thailand from turkey and he is turkish. He was staying in thailand for a long time and working here. He went back to turkey for family visit. And he decided to get a new non-b visa based on his work. He left thailand on marriage non-o extension but of course it cancelled when he left. For personal reasons he decided to get a non-b for work while visiting his family. He applied last friday (6 may) and they told him they will send him an email. On the embassy web site it says 1 working day. He told me there were only 2 people there applying for visa. They didnt tell him you can get this or that day but only we will send you an email for the result. His flight to bangkok is on friday (13 may) and he will arrive in 14 may afternoon. Suddenly he started to think he will not get the visa till friday. My opinion is he will get but yes i think it will be a close one to his flight date. So his question is if he cannot get the visa on time, if he goes to the embassy and take back his passport and go to thailand without a visa, can he enter thailand for 28 days without a visa? His thai pass and everything is ready. Or any other options? Not sure if he can change the plane ticket its not flexable and it is economy class (turkish airlines) booked by some online agency. Thanks Edited May 9, 2022 by problemfarang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you, so he doesnt need a visa. Although its only 1 day passed since he gave his passport to the embassy. I think he is over reacting because he get used to get the visa in 1 day from mukdahan. But again thanks for the info at least he can enter the country without a visa. Edited May 9, 2022 by problemfarang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but he is working here already and has work permit too. Social security and all. That might help the situation if he also explain what happened. When he arrives he will get the documents from the office and mukdahan again... ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The onward flight is for the airline at departure not Thai immigration on arrival. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do you think it will be a problem even if he shows his work permit and other things related or showing he is working there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hit and miss with airlines. Some insist on onward flight. One option is to book one on the spot if required. Obviously would need internet for booking and payment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant the op could probably get visa exempt if he was one from one set of countries or visa on arrival if he was from another set-off countries- he talked about turkey but he referred to 'farang ' meaning European. Europeans and Turks have different visa options and availabilities- their nationality being defines by their passport. I have no idea how you dragged race into it.

It is actually from french... obvious reasons. Also its a very high level word. They use this word for all white people. Also farang means allien which is tourist. And he is turkish national.

BritTim Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) If he is flying Turkish Airlines, without a visa, the airline is strict about possession of an onward flight out of Thailand within 30 days. If you are a good negotiator, and look affluent, the airline supervisor might allow you to travel without an onward flight if you are willing to sign an indemnity form instead.

Over sensitive wokes over reacted forgetting that race is not nationality- the OP confused the issue by using the dreadful term 'farang' to describe himself.

I'm not arguing about anything. I was drawing attention to unfortunate use of the word 'farang' It's not helpful and I believe has racist connotations. The OP created the race parameters for this debate- I didn't. Nor do I care about people's interpretation of what I wrote which is that nationality determines visa status. Which is true. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
