mijan24 Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 A friend here in Aust intends visiting Thailand for 21 days and has asked if he requires a tourist visa? He has been advised by the Thai Consulate in Sydney that since Sept 11 visa processing now takes min 3 days he leaves Sydney Thur 19 Jun. To the best of my knowledge he does not require a visa, is this correct and is there anything he should know when passing through Don Muang (with respect to non visa requirement). His return ticket has him departing July 14th (hence only 3 week stay). ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 Assuming that your friend holds an Australian passport... No need to get a visa first. Just turn up at Don Muang and he'll be issued with 30 day visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mijan24 Posted June 16, 2003 Author Share Posted June 16, 2003 To - Brian & The Dr thank you for the timely advice it has saved some heartache. The Thai lady at the Thai Consulate in Sydney who provided the 3 day time frame for visas' has always been very helpful in my own personal dealings.(Just thought it was worth making this point on her behalf) On a previous occaision with regards to myself she advised that since I was married to a Thai I should use Non Immg Type O to establish a history for future reference. Once again thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
