How can a US passport holder obtain a visa for Thailand while in Bali?
In Bali, traveling to Thailand. Thought I'd apply for a multi-Entry Visa. This is what the Indonesian section of the Thai Gov. website says for people in Bali (and other Indonesian cities):
2. Visa application is not available at the Royal Thai Honorary Consulate in Denpasar/Surabaya/Medan. Online visa application is also not available and application by mail is not accepted.
I wrote the Thai Embassey in Jakarta; anyone know how a US passport holder gets a visa, prior to arrival, in Thailand? Or, is it expected to be handled on the ground upon arrival?
Thanks for your input! :-)) Happy Easter (which is more powerful than most humans will ever understand). Sincerely, SB Kirkbride, Bali

Answer summary
A US passport holder seeking a multi-entry visa for Thailand while in Bali cannot apply at the Royal Thai Honorary Consulate or any location in Indonesia, as they only issue visas for Thai citizens. The application must be made in person at the Thai Embassy in Jakarta, which is known for its difficulty. Arriving in Thailand without a visa allows a 30-day visa exemption, which can be extended for another 30 days.

First of all, you CANNOT get a multiple entry visa in Indonesia or anywhere else except the US. You can ONLY get a multiple entry tourist visa in your home country.
Second, the Thai embassy in Bali doesn't offer any visas at all. It's only for Thai citizens.
If you want a visa you must apply for it in person at the Thai embassy in Jakarta. This embassy is known for being a very difficult embassy.
You cannot handle getting a visa when you arrive. If you arrive without a visa and have a US passport you'll be stamped into Thailand for 30 days. This is not a visa, it's called visa exempt, meaning no visa at all. You can also apply one time for a 30 day extension.
