oz457 Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fat Controller Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 One working day ? Where did you get that information from ? With Christmas and New Year holidays don't be surprised if it is not processed before you arrive in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toby1947 Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 UK my METV. arrived within 5 days. With Christmas holidays and New Year pending you may have cut it a bit fine. Good luck 🤞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CMBob Posted December 29, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted December 29, 2023 Given the two holidays since you applied, not surprising you're still waiting for it. Hopefully it'll come in the next few days. But, given you say you're only staying 2 months, you can always come in visa exempt and get 30 days and then get another 30-day extension at Immigration (or, alternatively, do the border hop you mentioned). Either way, you'll be good for 60 days. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
