camble Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 (edited) I've done 2 visa runs to Singapore, the Royal Thai Embassy on Orchard Rd opens at 9 or 9:30 AM. They have some prime real estate on Orchard Rd. They only accept visa applications in the morning, and you come back after 2:30 the next afternoon to collect your visa (Los Angeles, CA uses the same arrangement, and I only spent a few minutes in either). I don't know of any 'express service', perhaps if you explained your situation, but I'd think they have no ogligation to accommodate you. I booked 4 days, just in case, and spent the extra time enjoying Singapore. I stayed at Orchard Hotel (2 minute walk), and the Marriott (5 minute walk) the other time. Check out Orchard Towers (across the street from Orchard Hotel) if you miss the Bangkok night life. Edited July 5, 2005 by camble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
