babe Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I will be traveling to thailand in about a month and was wondering if I needed to apply for a tourist visa in my hometown of Chicago. I have heard that US citizens can apply for a 30 day visa for free after landing in Suvarnabhumi... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 As a US citizen you do not need any visa at all to travel to Thailand for 30 days or less. When you arrive in Bangkok you will get what a 30 day stamp which tells you the exact date you must leave Thailand. It will be 30 days after you arrive. There is no need to apply for or buy any visa if you keep it 30 days or less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaithai Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Keep in mind that the 30 days includes the day you arrive and get stamped. It is important to check the date on the stamp before walking away from Immigration. They CAN make the occaisonal mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Also consider if you arriving late at night and the international date line. If you are cutting it real close you want to know the date they will see you as arriving, it won't be the same day as when you leave Chitown.
