Hi, I’m hoping somebody can help.

TOURIST VISA- travelling around SE ASIA

How do I answer question 8 & 9? Do I have to get a visa before hand if I want to stay longer than 30 days, or can I go to an immigration office when there? I’ll be coming to Thailand on 16th May (from the Uk and hold a UK passport)

 so the 30 day visa exempt with an extension would do. Or a tourist visa you get before you arrive.

8 is confirmation of your employment status, ie, employed, self-employed, student or retired, it's NOT a bank statement
