How to fill out a tourist visa application form?

[oldthaihand99]

I've noticed the following categories on application forms (see example via url below) from several different countries in the region of Thailand & was wondering how, or if, people should fill them out when applying for a tourist visa:

1. Countries for which travel document is valid

2. Name and Address of Local Guarantor

3. Name and Address of Guarantor in Thailand

1. All If you have a passport.

2. Leave blank.

3. Self

I got my double entry tourist visa 2 weeks ago.

1. The country of where your passport is from

2 and 3. I left it blank

No, your passport is not valid only for travel to your own country.

"The country of where your passport is from "

That would make no sense. You don't need a passport for your own country.

Unless there is some restriction on your passport, which is unlikely, you would write "all."

This is probably for people from some countries that they need a guarantor to get the visa.

It was explained to me a couple of weeks ago, by consulate staff in Australia, that the guarantor, is actually next of kin to notify if in an accident/death etc.... Must be poorly translated I guess

Is that what they have on the application form for Australia instead of guarantor, like here:

The above form has "emergency contact" & "Funds available" rather than two references to a "gauarantor".

Easy and without all the palaver:

1: The Countries to which you can travel to on your present country's passport.

2: Name of someone in YOUR country that can be contacted in an emergency ("next of kin" or family member or friend).

3: Name of someone in Thailand that can be contacted in an emergency OR if visiting friends/family here (same as above).

Yes you do need a passport to reenter The United States. You can no longer use your drivers lisence .

This is for US citizens.

You have to give the ticket agent your passport number to even get a ticket then you need to show passport to board international flight.

I wonder if anyone has ever listed those "Countries" on the application form. It would be a challenge to fit the names of 183 nations in the small space alloted on the application form. Perhaps he wrote them on the back or a separate page. ;

BTW the number of countries would not be "all" in many, if not all, cases. Some passports might allow entry to 172 countries of the some 200 in the world. Other passports more or less than that number.

No There is no mention of money on the form I filled out....

Looks like much the same form, but with different translations for those 2 questions. Not a big surprise tho 555

Well I just put "All" coming form the US (I remember the the older passports from say the '70's said that you could NOT travel to Cuba, etc).
