Hello,
I'm flying from Melbourne Aus to BKK in around 2 months (July 19). I'm staying 60 days until Sep 17.
Can I get a TR visa upon arrival at the airport? then extend another 30 days mid trip?
Or, do I need to apply for all the visa stuff whilst I'm in Australia and wait for it to be approved.
The Thai Consulate in my city is closed since COVID.
Cheers all!
TLDR : Answer Summary
The original poster inquires about the possibility of obtaining a Tourist Visa (TR) upon arrival in Thailand, despite the closure of the local Thai Consulate. Comments clarify that they will receive a 30-day visa-exempt entry at the airport, which can be extended for an additional 30 days. It is recommended to apply for a Single Entry Tourist Visa before traveling for less hassle. The conversation also highlights the differences between the Sydney consulate's online application system and the E-Visa process. Additionally, there is a discussion regarding a potential one-day overstay based on the travel dates.
