Good morning, everyone I would like to get some advice.

We are taveling from Namibia a family of 4, we applied for tourist visas and have not recieved them yet and our flights are the 23rd of February will we have an issue to apply for a Visa on Arrival ?

Answer summary

A family traveling from Namibia inquired about the possibility of applying for a Visa on Arrival in Thailand after not receiving their tourist visas before their flight on February 23rd. Responses confirmed that they can obtain a Visa on Arrival for 2,000 baht each, allowing a stay of 15 days. Additionally, it was suggested that they may still be able to activate their tourist visa later upon receipt, considering they can prove the application was made while in Namibia.

As you will be able to prove that you applied for your tourist visa while you were present and also left from Namibia, you’ll probably be able to do a border bounce and activate your tourist visa when you receive it also if you need/want more time as well.

You can indeed get a visa on arrival. It will cost 2,000 baht each and you’ll get stamped in for 15 days.
