Has anyone had any recent experience of applying for Treble Entry Tourist Visas from Birmingham or Hull consulates?

Both consulates form downloads show availability and price for these but do they actually give them out?

I do not see why they would not issue.

Contact them first and also check the validity of the visa with them. If it has to be used within 6 months it might not be worth it (depending on your actual travel plans).

Thanks.

I presume they are 6 month validity. I thought it would be better to get treble entry as I'll be based in Nong Khai so exit/entry is less hassle than (unguaranteed) extensions from the local immigration office.

Yes 6 months. The 30 day extension will be no problem. it is routinely given.

Near the end of the 6 months is it still feasible to get a double entry visa from Vientiane to get another 2-3 months or is this one of the things they have clamped down on?

You should make that border run not later than one day before the "enter before" or "must be utilized before" date shown on the visa.

Thanks for your help.

anyone try apply for a tourist visa from hull outside the UK (send passport to them with some extra money to mail it back) ?

i know it says they will only post it to people residing in the UK but everyone knows that's not really the case

So true, I've sent my passport to Hull from outside of the UK, and have a couple of friends. that have done so as well.

With a 100% success rate, however this has all pertained to O-visas, before the clamp down.

Presumably it should be the same with tourist visas, but I cannot confirm this.

Understand that you're looking for confirmation, however it's quite easy to just send them and email and ask if they will do it?

Thanks, yes i sent them an email already. Just wanted to get some actual experiences from actual people too

never received a reply but sent my passport there anyway and was issued a triple entry tourist visa. very fast service

I spoke to Hull earlier this week regarding visas, and the lady I spoke to said no problem getting a triple entry tourist visa issued. If you make an appointment they will even do it there and then.

wtk, can you confirm that you received a 6 month validity on your triple tourist visa. Thanks!

From Hull website.

With a TWO or THREE entry Tourist Visa you must ensure you enter Thailand on your final visit before expiry of the visa which is 6 months from date of issue.

Thanks Lite Beer. I've seen it in their paperwork. Just wanted a confirmation from someone who's just received one.

Have a friend that needs a new visa, and was planning on having him go this route.

If it has to be used within 6 months it might not be worth it

Why? Not sure to understand.

Even with a 6 months validity, a triple-entry give you up to 9 months.

Worth it I think.
