Hi everyone.

I applied for the tourist visa on Friday evening, and my flight is on 21st. In case I don't get it on time, can I get the visa on arrival instead, stay for 2 weeks and then exit and re-enter with the tourist one I'm yet to receive?

Thank you in advance and have a lovely day ahead! 🌸

You certainly can. There was no need for tourist visa if you are a passport holder of one of 93 countries. Come in and out of Thai as your plans are.
