Are we talking about the "15 days on arrival visa" or the 30 days entry stamp here?

He's in Singapore, so I assume he's a Singaporean, and will get 30 days on arrival

[andrew88]

Yes, I am from Singapore, but hold china passport. I don't care 15 days or 30 days visa. both enough for my 4 days trip.

From Thailand’s Immigration Checkpoints that provides facilities for issuance of visa on arrival, Pattaya is not included. But I heard this is the first international flight, I hope something may be done in last minute.

Anyway, anybody know the airport or the immigration tel phone number, i want to call them to verify. Here I check from Thai embassy at singapore, they say NO.

[andrew88]

Do you have immigration phone number at U Tapao Airport , Rayong? I like to call them to verify, because Thai embassy in singapore told me that need to apply visa?

[andrew88]

I check from Thai government web site

http://www.mfa.go.th/web/12.php#Tourist

U-Tapao is included in the list of airports giving visa on arrival.

I also check from Jetstarasia.com, the airport my flight will arrive is actually U-tapao,

So I think thai embassy in singapore simply told me no arrival visa may because I simply told them Pattaya, not U-Tapao.

Anyway, I will call thai embassy again to duble check. If you know the contact to U-tapao, please let me know.

Thanks a lot, friend!
