Best Place In Sea To Get 90 Day Tourist Visa.. Or Is It Just Easy?

[OxfordWill]

Its been years since I had a tourist visa so my knowledge is very out of date. Is it still easy enough to get a 90 day tourist visa from pretty much anywhere, or is there a place recommended or places to avoid?

Many thanks in advance

You can only get 60 day on a tourist visa that can be extended by 30 days at immigrations.

Vientiane will give you a double entry if you don't have a recent history with back to back visas.

Avoid Phom Phen because they have a processing time of 3-4 days.

Yes all depends how many back to back which are stated in your passport... As per their rules, 2 tourist visas per year.

Penang refuses passport with too many stamps as per a trip in early December.

How about KL? Are they issuing now or are they easier than Penang for 60 days single?

Thanks to give feedback you some been recently.

As per whose rules. Never heard of that of that rule.

Kl will balk at more than a few telling you no more.

Agree Savanakett is a breeze, last time there got a double entry tourist visa, it was so easy that 2 phillopino girls behind me altered there's to a double entry as they was scared of being knocked back for a single entry.

Well it seems much easier than in Penang these days.

At the embassy and the agencies which offer visa service in Georgetown are screening passports with max 2 single per year. Maybe it will change as KL seems more flexible....

Well, I went to Laos, I got a double entry. I got it back the next day at midday. No problems and no fuss.. thanks for advice.

Talking about "rules" regarding the number of tourist visas a Thai consulate gives there are no rules in the sense of a published policy but in 2011 many consulates, including Vientiane, suddenly became stricter but that lasted for less than a year and it is again easier to get these visas. Something was published, ie displayed in some consulates, not a rule per se but something that looked more like an explanation for the limitation of tourist visas at that time. Vientiane and Helsinki are two examples on record in this forum. Penang for a while refused a new tourist visa if a recent 60-day permission to stay had been extended by 30 days. In other words, it is impossible to predict when the next clamp-down on back-to-back tourist visas will come, usually based on instructions or guidelines issued to the consulates by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

As you can read in notices linked to in the above post their concern is people that are working illegally here.

I always suggest that a copy of some proof that you have money coming in from outside the country (bank book is best) be attached to your application if you get to the point of having more than a couple of visas. That would be the best way to prove you are not working.
