Want To Get A Tourist Visa In Us, What's The Turnaround?

[jeffwalsh]

Just found out my job is ending on June 16, so of course, I plan to be on a plane headed for Thailand on the 17th. Since it is last minute, I was wondering if it is still possible to get a 60-day tourist visa before I go? Last time, I did it in Bangkok and it took forever, so rather nail that down stateside, if I can.

Can someone point me in the right direction? Not sure where to get started.

Thanks.

You cannot get a Tourist Visa in Bangkok. You can only get them outside Thailand. So yes get it in the States it will only take a day or two.

This from the Thai Embassy Washington. http://www.thaiembdc.org/consular/visa/ProcessTime.aspx

You will get better service from a honorary consulate than the embassy or one of official consulates. The emabassy and the official consulates will probably want to see tickets and other things the honorary consulate wont't ask for.

Most of them will turn around a mail in application the same day they get it.

Uee the pulldown menu at the top of this page to get a list of honorary consulates.
