Naut.Sirius Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Hi all, I'm a 38 year old American and I was just going to apply for a single entry Tourist Visa from Thai consulate in Washington D.C. However in the week before I go to Thailand I'll be up in Vancouver B.C. and was thinking I'd just apply for a double entry Tourist visa in person at the consulate there. My question, does anyone know if the consulate gives out double entry Tourist Visas? Or of any other snags I'd run into? I ask as I'd hate to be 4 days away from leaving for Thailand and suddenly learn that I couldn't get a Visa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is their website: Royal Thai Consulate General (Vancouver) or email: [email protected] Also note (from their website): "Please note that the Consulate is no longer accepting visa applications by mail from the United States. US applicants must apply in person at the Consulate." I've also notice that they mention Tourist Visas on the site, but make no mention of "multi-entry".

Naut.Sirius Posted July 15, 2008 Author Share Posted July 15, 2008 Good thinking, thanks for the suggestion What leads me to think that I could get a double entry there is the Visa price list: "Tourist Visa (per entry) $35" My question, does anyone know if the consulate gives out double entry Tourist Visas?

jitenshaman Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I received a double entry from them no problems, but that was 2 years ago. I was living in WA state, went up to Vancouver, and got the visa. You might want to call them to double check and see how many days it takes. When I was there, they were even issuing triple entry visas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naut.Sirius Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share Posted July 16, 2008 To follow up on my question, I just received this email reply from the Thai Consulate in Vancouver B.C. "If you apply in person, we can issue you the double entry tourist visa. Please come between 9:30am - 12:30pm Monday to Friday only. The office will also be close on Friday July 18th for Thai holiday." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess they aren't overly busy in the Visa section ! (Unlike their counterparts in the Canadian and other embassies in Thailand) And they take the Thai holidays (and the Canadian ones as well I imagine). Sweet deal. Between the Thai holidays and the Canadian ones (and not working the weekends), that's almost 1/3 of the year ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
