Visa Validity & Easy To Obtain There?

[Sebe]

Hi, sorry if these questions have already been answered elsewhere...I'm 21, from the UK, going to Thailand between April 17-May 25. I read that Thai tourist visas are valid for 3 months, do you only need to enter Thailand within this time or must the visa be valid for your entire stay (i.e. it can't run out when you're there)? Also, are they easy to obtain upon arrival in Thailand if I don't manage to get one in the UK before I leave? Cheers.

Hi Sebe....you only have to enter Thailand within that three months. The time only starts once you enter, any time prior to the visa's expiration date. Have a good trip

As you dr said you only have to arrive during the period the visa is valid. You are then stamped for 60 days and can extend another 30 days. You can not obtain on arrival. In that case you are only allowed to stay 30 days (and perhaps 10 more on an extension) on a UK passport.
