samuibeachbum Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I am going to apply for a triple entry tourist visa from Manila (I am uk citizen currently living in Philippines) Do I need to show airline tickets showing that I will be leaving Thailand, coming back in, going out again, coming back in, going out again or is just one ticket departing Thailand enough? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I believe only the consular section of the Thai Embassy in Manila will be able to give you the answer. Give them a call before going there to apply for the visa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sam sen Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 i get triple entry visa's all the time. (from consul in Hull UK) never have to show any future tickets. never had any problems at all. when you arrive at immigration make sure you have written the visa number on your arrival card and say clearly to the immigration officer 'i have a two month visa' - they may not spot it and only give you 30 days. and check the exit date before you leave the counter just in case.

kuka Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) The Thai Embassy in Manila is very strict. I think the best you can do there is a double entry tourist visa. They have about five things on your checklist that you must provide to get the double entry tourist visa. I just did this myself this early January Sent from my SM-N900 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Edited January 28, 2014 by kuka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maestro Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 The Thai consulate in Manila is generally known to be somewhat more difficult for visa applications than the one in Hull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Reports for Manila state that they were only able got a single entry visa there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuibeachbum Posted January 29, 2014 Author Share Posted January 29, 2014 I did phone the Embassy in Manila but they were not very helpful, they did say they would do a triple entry but when I asked do I need to show proof of my flights I got the normal Filipino answer of 'dont know sir'.

ubonjoe Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 They like Vientiane might do a 3 entry but with only 90 days validity. For single entry visas they have been reported as not asking for a ticket out of the country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For single entry visas they have been reported as not asking for a ticket out of the country. Sorry,But can you explain the 90 day validity. Does it mean one has to wait 90 days before they can try to apply for another visa at a different embassy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is shown on the visa sticker as the enter before date, What I was saying is that a 3 entry visa valid for 90 days would mean you would have to use all 3 entries within 90 days of the visa being issued. This would make the 3rd entry useless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonmarleesco Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 No idea, but certainly not at the consulate in Cardiff. Just the passport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulic Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I don't think you can get a triple entry visa in Manila. Also I understand they are difficult to deal with. Please let us know how it goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louse1953 Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 No idea, but certainly not at the consulate in Cardiff. Just the passport. So he can fly to Cardiff first,and then onward to Th.Brilliant! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubonjoe Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 That's good news. They must of had a change of management at the embassy consular section. All previous reports are about only a single entry and unfriendly service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could hardly believe it, Manila is a good option, very cheap flights from bkk to manila and the embassy is in a nice part of manila to spend a few days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
