When apply for tourist visa (60 days) from Belgium.

Can do 90 day before landing in Thailand ?

(Stay 50 days)

I know at the moment still 60 days visa exempt, but can change soon after 15 days after publicatie in Thai Royal Gazette
Answer summary
The tourist visa for Thailand is valid for 90 days from the date of issue, and once you enter Thailand, you will receive a 60-day stamp in your passport. It's advisable to apply for the visa around 60 days before your planned travel to avoid issues with flight changes. If you apply earlier, be aware that the visa validity starts from the date of issue, not the planned entry date.

When you receive your visa, it will have a validity of 90 days.

Means you have 90 days to go to Thailand.

When you arrive in Thailand, you will get 60 days stamped into your passport regardless of how long is left on the validity of the visa.

Two weeks ago I got myself a tourist visa. I’m flying 13 September to Thailand and stay for 6 weeks. Easily done online. I applied for the visa and 4 days later I was approved.

Its a 60 day touristvisa visa with a possible extension 30 days - the visa period starts when you have passed the immigration with a stamp of 60 days

Waarom de vraag aangezien je zegt toch maar 50 dagen te blijven? Zowel met tourist visum als met visumvrijstelling (exempt) heb je 60 dagen. Verlenging met 30 dagen kan enkel in Thailand.

MagicalRhino1955 omdat zomaar morgen in The Thai Royal Gazette gepubliceerd kan worden dat het van 60 dagen naar 30 dagen gaat en dan de vliegtuigmaatschappij (Qatar) je de toegang tot het vliegtuig kan e mag weigeren indien je niet over het juiste visum beschikt gezien je retourdatum. Daarom.

Dimitry Thysbaert, dan nog, je neemt gewoon een tourist exempt entry van 30 dagen en ga dan naar Immigration office voor een extra 30 dagen.

Wanneer dit in de The Thai Royal Gazette zal komen weet geen mens. Zal het er ooit van komen? Wie weet dat, waarschijnlijk wel ,maar dan nog duurt het 15 dagen na publicatie.

Dimitry Thysbaert je vraag was of je een toeristenvisum kan verlengen naar 90 dagen vóór je landt. Maar aangezien je zelf aangeeft dat je maar 50 dagen blijft, begrijp ik de vraag niet.

Zelfs met een visumvrijstelling van dagen (als die er ooit komt) zit je safe, want die kan je in Thailand verlengen met 30 dagen (1.900 THB).

Ja, de luchtvaartmaatschappij kan vervelend doen maar dat heeft niks met immigration te maken.

A tourist visa is valid for entry to Thailand for 90 days from the date it is issued. That doesn't leave you much room if flights change or whatever, I'd suggest applying 60 days in advance is a better idea

@John *********
when apply, they count 90 days from date of apply or 90 says from date of approved?

Because sometimes takes 10 to 15 days.

Just to be sure...
