TLDR : Answer Summary
The conversation discusses the experience of applying for a Thai TR-visa at the Thai embassy in Ankara, Turkey. A user inquires about the possibility of obtaining a visa there as a non-Turkish national. Several comments provide helpful insights, including the absence of nationality restrictions on the embassy's website. It is emphasized that having all required documents is crucial for a smooth application process. A later comment confirms a successful TR-visa application, detailing specific requirements such as a comprehensive bank statement and flight bookings.

Just reporting - successfully got a TR-visa in Ankara.

The only differences with “well-know” embassies:

1. they required bank statement with all transactions within last six months as proof of reasonable income (not less than equivalent of 800$ monthly) instead of just statement with fresh amount.

2. They required booking reservation for whole period of stay. Cancelable booking. com reservation accepted.

3. Paid In-Out tickets must be.

Visa processing time:

submit from 9am till 11:30am, get the next working day between 4pm - 5pm

James Miller yeah, I have one TR visa in 2018 (with extension), and one with extension at the beginning of 2019 and one one month visa-free entry in June just for couple of days during transit.

Visas with extension in another passport (in Ukraine we can have 2 active passports), visa-free entry in current one.

Yeah, I know even if I enter with different passports everything in their system.

But.. we travel with 2 kids, so, usually some staff who manages queue before immigration route us to fast track and never had questions there. It happens couple of times already. Last time at immigration checkpoint they even took one picture of us instead of one-by-one.

But sure, it's all depend on luck.

Good Luck 🍀

Do you have a history of visas and entries with extensions in 2018-19 in Thailand?

If so, obtaining a Tourist visa is not a guarantee you will be admitted by Thai Immigration on arrival at airports. Plan your entry carefully.

All the visa's requirements are split in general nationalities and certain nationalities. Big question is in which group do you belong?

I'm Ukrainian, but it's quite unclear where to find list of "general" nationalities and "certain".

Checked whole website, but can't find how exactly they split.

Throw them an email. Many embassies/consulates are quite helpful that way.

Good question. I found their website at

I don't see any restrictions based on nationality.

I suppose if you have all your documents they list, you should be able to get a visa without any problems.
