You are not likely to get a visa from Malaysia in 10 days. They are notorious for taking about a month to issue visas to foreigners. I assume your dad is over 50, can he apply for the non-O visa from wherever you are starting off from? That will give him 90 days, same as you.

You could always use an onward travel ticket website to get a ticket directly from France to Thailand. The only problem is that Paris is one of the worst Thai embassies in the world, and it makes planning incredibly difficult. It can take 1-2 months to get a simple tourist visa from Paris.

Why can't your Father apply for the Tourist visa from the Thai Embassy in Paris at the same time you apply for the Non O visa.

A simple 30 day extension would then suffice for his intended stay of 2.5 months.

I believe your misinterpreting the travel/flight requirement;

It only requests a flight from France (not specifically direct to Thailand).

5. Booking of a flight departing from France or Monaco, including a return ticket from Thailand with a departure date no more than 90 days from the arrival date in Thailand, with all flight details , including PNR (Passenger Name Record – 6-digit alphanumeric code): booking-related information contained in the records created by the airlines for each flight) and/or the e-ticket number

Just include your full travel itinerary, France to Malaysia, Malaysia to Thailand, return flight to France.

Paris does absolutely require a flight from France to Thailand. They are incredibly unfriendly. They also love to wait until the date on the ticket passes, and then reject the application completely.

Ai Overview;

No. The Royal Thai Embassy in Paris does not require a direct flight from France to Thailand for a tourist visa. They only require proof of a confirmed flight ticket out of Thailand (an onward or return ticket) within your allowed stay. Layovers or connecting flights are completely acceptable.

Each year we have a regular visitor (snowbird), a French national I only know as Lois (?)

He visits a friend in Vietnam first for 3/4 weeks, before entering Thailand on a Tourist visa obtained from the Thai Embassy in Paris, and stays for up to 90 days (30 day extension).
He's done this for the last 5 years to the best of my knowledge.

The OP's Father is also eligible to apply for the Non O on the basis of visiting Thai family, same as the OP, which is financially less demanding than the Non O based on retirement.
He is the Grandfather of his sons child.

If the OP is in doubt, contact the Embassy and speak to them direct.

You're making this whole thing way more difficult than in needs to be.

For your father and for you.

For a start. you apply for your Visa - regardless where you are phsyically - from your home country's Thai Embassy website.

Go online to the Thai Embassy website in your home country - the country of your passport - where you have legal residence, where you have a driving licence or national ID card or some other proof of official address.

Apply for a Tourist Visa. For Leisure. Don't complicate issues with Non-Imm O visas and staying with family. The visa costs twice as much and you don't need to prove you have 24,000 Euros! Only about 750 Euros.

Follow the instructions. Scan the required documents. Double check them. Upload them. Pay the fee.

There is no need to have to have flights from your home country into Thailand, The Thai Department of Foreign Affairs wants to know how and when you are entering and (more importantly) leaving Thailand.

Save or scan the boat booking. And the flight home booking. Upload the files.

Book a room at a hotel for the first night - the night you arrive - in Thailand. Ensure it's an online, free-to-cancel booking. Scan it or print it to pdf format. Upload the file.

Same with everything else. Save or scan. Upload the file.

Double check.

Pay the fee. (35 Euro)

Depending on Embassy, things can take a while. As this is only a single-entry visa, apply about four to six weeks prior to your date of entering Thailand. The Single-Entry Tourist Visa is valid for three months. That means you must enter Thailand within three months of the visa being issued.

Print out the E-Visa. *Also a good idea to have the other documents printed out as well and with you in your carry-on luggage.

They give you sixty days from date of arrival, and you can apply for an additional 30-day before that 60 days is up while you're in Thailand\ (see below)

IMPORTANT FOR ONCE YOU ARE IN THAILAND

If you expect to want to extend your initial sixty days - which you said you want to to - when you get to the private house where you're staying, it is essential the person who is on the house registration book takes it (tabien baan) and her ID card with you and your passports and visas within 24 hours of arrival to their house, and fill in the Alien Registrtion Form. It's free and, depending on you Immigration Office, takes almost no time to process. Five minutes. Fifteen days before your 60 days is up, go to the Immigration Office, with the house owner again, and fill in an extension to extend stay in the Kingdom. This will cost you 1,900 baht per extension. And the queue longer.
* Yes people can do online Alien Registrations (it's called the TM 30) but. depending on the distance to the local office, and the technical know-how of the phone user, it's often more simple just to drive to the office.
And you're done

I hope your father enjoys his trip.

No. The e-visa application is handled by the embassy/consulate where you are currently located.

Go online to the Thai Embassy website in your home country - the country of your passport - where you have legal residence, where you have a driving licence or national ID card or some other proof of official address.

That would be lying on the visa application, and visa fraud. The e-visa system very specifically asks where you are PHYSICALLY located, and routes your application to the Thai embassy that has jurisdiction for that location. They also specifically ask for proof of your current PHYSICAL location on the visa application, and reserve the right to summon you to the embassy for an interview (most often to ensure someone is actually in the country as they stated).

I missed out a highly important bit. I am wrong and I apologise.

It is meant to read"...regardless where you are phsyically going to be prior to entering Thailand..."

I even misspelled "physically", so much for proof-reading before posting.

The point is, this man and his father seem to be leaving France (admittedly at different times) and going to Malaysia first, then entering Thailand by sea.

He goes to the website in his home country for the visa - I assume he hasn't left yet and is still there, in France?

My point was don't try to get a Thai e-Visa in Malaysia as you have no idea how long that could take and could mess up hotel and transport bookings.

And we don't how long the son or father is gong to be in Malaysia before entering Thailand, either.

A single entry visa is valid for three month, so both of them (albeit at different times it seems the son is going to Malaysia first) should apply for a single entry tourist visa and ensure that they each enter Thailand before the visa expires.

A tourist visa is cheaper than a Non-Imm O, doesn't require proof of funds of 24,000 Euro, and gives them both the chance to extend for another thirty days.

If I'm an Argentinian citizen living in Buenos Aires, and am going to Thailand for an extended holiday in a couple of months requiring a 60-day e-visa, but stopping off for a few weeks in Belgium and Turkey on the way, I still apply for my Thai e-visa in, as long as I enter Thailand within three months of the date of approval.

I don't need to wait until I get to Turkey to apply.

It doesn't matter where you are physically immediately prior to entering Thailand.

And of course, I'm not promoting visa fraud.

I'made an honest mistake by not proofreading prior to submitting the post.
Again, I apologise.

True. So let's be clear you apply for e-visa in country at time of application.

A print out if e-visa would be sufficient to enter Thailand from another country.

As an aside. SETV + extension is best option however for 2.5 month a visa exempt + border bounce + extension is an option.

Depends where located
