<snip> • The average length of stay for all visitors from Thailand was 38 nights.... higher than the average of 27 nights

Is this directly proportional to the time it takes to get a visa processed ?

• However, the Tourism Forecasting Committee expects the average length of stay for Thai visitors to decrease at an annual average rate of -1.6 per cent until 2014.

Interesting information..

Anyone have any statistics on the number of Visas that are applied for and how many are accepted or rejected?

The other interesting one would be what % of Visas issued, have the Visa conditions broken i.e. overstays...

So much of the evidence required seems to be pointing at the links the applicant has to Thailand, inferring that one of the main worries is about the motivation of the applicant to return...

It would be interesting to see if the statistics support this..

Thats my 2 bobs worth..
