Visa On Arrival

[jayr68]

Hi,

We are travelling to Bangkok in April from India and will be staying from 13th-27th. As the visa on arrival is valid for 15 days only , are we on the safe side ? Also, what are the visa charges for Indian citizens ? We are 2 adults and 1 child (5 yrs). What is the photo size and how many are required? Thanks.

We are travelling to Bangkok in April from India and will be staying from 13th-27th. As the visa on arrival is valid for 15 days only , are we on the safe side ?

Upon arrival at Bangkok airport on 13 April and based on your visa on arrival, Immigration will stamp your passports with “admitted until 27 APR 2006”. Therefore, with a flight departure date of 27 April, you are on the safe side.

What if for any reason your flight gets delayed to the following day? In such case, the airline will assist you and you need not worry: Immigration knows how to handle such cases without causing the tourist a problem.
