Today, we pickup our 60-days visa. It takes total of 3-days. Drop-off before 12:30 and pickup at 4:30pm to 5pm on the third day.

 

They required the following:

Bank statement printout less than 3-months

airline ticket in and out of Thailand  (drop-off window asked me why my ticket was 65-days. I said it was an error. I'll change it.)

2 white background photos

copy of Chinese visa and arrival stamp ( copy store across the street cost 1yen/rmb)

 

Drop-off window didn't look in our passport nor did he seem to check the documents carefully. It was very easy process. Arrive, take a number, sit and wait for it to call. To pickup, we queue in front of window with our pickup receipt to collect passport with new 60days visa. They don't use the stickers but a stamp that took up the whole page. Dropped off takes about 2 hours and pickup maybe 20 minutes.

My friend had a new passport with one visa and one exempt but spent 9months a year in Thailand over the past 2.5 years.

 

i was a bit shocked to see Chinese tour agents  pulling 30inches suitcase full of passports.

He is talking about getting a Thailand visa from the Thai embassy or consulate in Guangdong, China. Nothing to do with a Chinese visa. Still, it is fantastic news to know that a country is offering a 20yrs validity multiple entry visa.

Interesting but I don't see a consulate for Guangdong here. http://www.thaiembassy.org/main/  Also not shown on the embassy in Beijing's website.

I assume it is a new one.

 

 That's probably because Guandong is a Province with the main city being Guangzhou, where indeed there is a Thai consulate.

This is an interesting thread. I thought the consulates in China (including Guangzhou) only issued Thai visas to Chinese nationals or residents. The website seems to suggest they want to see "working certificate" to apply for a tourist visa. Might I ask your nationality?
