OK I'm sure this or variations of this have been asked a million times. I just keep getting slightly diff answers from Web and friends and gov sites etc.
I want to arrive in Thailand mid January, with view to staying 2-3 months. (coming from UK with valid passport)
First week or 2 hanging out and getting feel for the pace, 1 month (minimum) will be in a muay Thai camp near chiang mai.
Do I need to sort any kind of visa before I leave the UK, or can I apply for tourist visa on arrival (border runs every 30?)
or would I be better off going for a muay Thai ED Visa that's valid longer and doesn't need the border runs...
Do I have to have an exit flight booked 30 days < or what can I do re:flights
Have funds in UK bank and can bring X amount of cash..
Sorry again for boring question. Any help much appreciated
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user inquires about the visa requirements for a planned 2-3 month stay in Thailand, focusing on options such as applying for a tourist visa in advance versus using visa-on-arrival options. Responses indicate that applying for a 60-day tourist visa before travel is advisable, as it grants a longer stay compared to visa-on-arrival policies, which only offer 30 days with a single extension possible. Other suggestions include the possibility of applying for a Muay Thai ED visa for longer stays or a multi-entry visa for more flexibility.
