kdrayong Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 The history: 2015 Obtained a SETV in China, stayed for about 1 week in the kingdom. 2016 Obtained a SETV in China, stayed for about 1 week Obtained a 2nd SETV in China, extended for 30 days (90 days in total). The allowance of stay will end in the beginning of June. What will be a good plan to obtain more SETV in neighboring countries and where should that be? In September a short trip to China is planned anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubonjoe Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Chinese nationals cannot apply for visas at at any nearby location or perhaps anywhere but China. See this on Viantianes website. http://vientiane.thaiembassy.org/upload/pdf/RestrictedCountries2013.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BritTim Posted May 6, 2016 Share Posted May 6, 2016 Although annoying, I think the only practical option is to fly back to China for a fresh tourist visa. Even Hong Kong is not an option unless you have a resident card. You probably have a better sense than we do of the best city to do the application. If the Thai consulates in China impose restrictions on issuing further tourist visas, can you please post to let us know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aber Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) Thank you, but as you can guess I read it. I am asking if any other possibility than going back to China. Actually I would suggest that YOU read it as nowhere it is written if a Chinese can stay 90 days in Thailand thanks to extension.

aber Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 (edited) So the SETV visa for Chinese is a 2 months visa and can be extended 1 month for 1900 thb ? It seems that it is possible to apply from abroad, at least for Chinese with connections, but I will confirm if I get a definitive reply. But Chinese can also get a METV it seems ? http://www.thaishanghai.com/th/visa/tourist_visa/ and then extend each entry ? Thank you.

It seems that it is possible to apply from abroad, at least for Chinese with connections, but I will confirm if I get a definitive reply. A single entry tourist visa allows a 60 day entry that can be extended for 30 days at an immigration office for a fee of 1900. There are few nationalities that only get a 30 day entry and others that cannot get the 30 day extension but China is not one of them. You might find a embassy or consulate somewhere in the world that will issue a visa but no nearby location will do it unless a legal resident of the country where they are located.
