Visa On Arrival

[bingeorge]

Hi

I Will be visting bangkok to be with my gf for new year. This time around i happen to be travelling using an electronic ticket . Would like to know if there could be any problems on getting my visa on arrival due to having an electronic ticket.

Thanks

George

It shouldn't be any problem at all George. I presume you have a confirmed outbound flight within 30 days.

I do use e-tickets whereby the written confirmation reads something like:

"Please note that you are required to keep a printed copy of this Itinerary/Receipt with you throughout your journey, as it is required for check-in and immigration purposes."

(This is quoted from CX-e-tkts.)

This confirmation as well shows your confirmed re-trun flight. You mention visa on arrival, or do you mean 30 days' stay with visa exemption?

Thank you for the quick reply.

I was referring to 15 day visa on arrival obtained at the airport. I wont be there for long just one week as my work commitments dont allow me to more time.

I have a confirmed return ticket.

Cheers

You need to actually pay for that visa on arrival. You need to evidence your departure, so take the e ticket, and some passport size photographs with you. There's no visa free period for Indian nationals.

Yup.. Have to pay 1000 Baht. I was there a couple of months back. This is my 3rd trip within this year but my first using an e-Ticket

I just was not sure if they would consider email invoice for e-Ticket as valid evidence for departure.

Thanks

You won't have a problem....how long did it take ?

[bingeorge]

Not more than 15 mins. In fact the last time i was cleared in 5.

The first time the officer was a little rude. but had no problems otherwise.

Each time i landed in bkk around 07:50 pm , i guess no other flights landing at that time

Good luck. If you want to stay longer, you can apply for a longer visa in India ( or the place of your permanent residence )
