Hello everyone, i haven't been keeping up to date with the visa changes and now seem to have a bit of a problem. I am a 36 year old from the UK and will be ariving in Bangkok on the 2nd of april, i plan to stay for 2 months and was going to do one ' visa run ', now it seems they only give 15 days at an overland boarder, it's not possible to send my passport away as i have to travel before Thailand..What are my options? Thanks, Mike.

Look up the Hull consulate on line download the forms for a tourist visa I think its the 60 days one , if you pay by credit card and send by reg post, you should have your passport and visa back within 48 hours. depending where you live there are other consulates

you might find closer to home. you have the option of getting your tourist visa in person for a small extra fee.

here is the link

Or when you are in Thailand you could fly out somewhere just before your last date of your 30 day visa and fly in again and get another 30 days its only land boarders that issue 15 days.

hope it helps and im sure you will get some more advice and other options soon

... or you go out 2 times ;-)

good for some shopping to...

Or do a 'real' visa run to Vientiane (Laos), one night stay and come back with a 60 day tourist visa.

Without a Visa you may not be allowed on the flight.

You need a Visa to stay in Thailand for a period of more than 30 days.

As said apply to Hull and get your passport back within a few days.

make an appointment at hull and they will issue there and then, very quick very friendly, they charge £10.00 extra for the same day service. are tourist visa still free???? if so hull charge an admin fee as well as the £10.00

At the moment fee free Tourist Visas exist? Then get your 60 days and extend another 30 in Thailand for 1900Baht, 90 days all up!

At the moment Tourist Visas are 1,000 Baht per entry.

From April 1st they will be free of charge.
