Can I apply for a Thailand SETV online from Bali on a tourist visa stamp?
Wanting to apply for a Setv for Thailand asap )Urgent
I am currently in Australia right now but I heard the wait times for this visa can be 4-5 weeks just for a 60 day visa…I’m already wanting to head back to Bali as that’s where I mainly live my question is can I apply for a setv from Bali online well there on a tourist voa stamp and what’s the chance it’s accepted ? I’d much rather be spending my time waiting in Bali where all my friends live then Australia where I have nothing to do but sit and wait and pay accommodation when I have accommodation in Bali…has anyone applied for one in Bali before and been approved and how long did it take ? I’m just wanting the 60 days so I can then extend for another 30 and get a total of 90 days stay…..then I will apply for my dtv next year after Christmas time…..

Answer summary
The user is currently in Australia and is seeking urgent advice on applying for a Thailand SETV (Single Entry Tourist Visa) from Bali, where they would prefer to wait during the application process. They are inquiring about the possibility of applying online while on a tourist visa stamp and asking about approval chances, processing times, and the possibility of extending their stay after entry. Community comments suggest applying at the Thai embassy in Jakarta for potentially faster processing, as well as exploring options for entry as Visa Exempt, rather than applying for a visa.

If your in Bali you apply via the Thai embassy in Jakarta, processing times are a bit faster but not appreciably so

What's your recent history of visiting Thailand in 2025 and 2026 ?
How long did you stay each time as Visa Exempt with extensions or did you have a tourist visa ?
I ask this as I wonder why don't you simply enter as Visa Exempt with a 30 day extension ? With a simple land border bounce to get a new visa exempt entry.
