Hello everyone

If I apply and get a 60 day tourist

Visa as a Uk resident.

How long would I get before I

Have to use it.

Thanks IAV
Answer summary
As a UK resident applying for a 60-day tourist visa, you will have 90 days from the date of issuance to enter Thailand. This means you can enter Thailand anytime within those 90 days, after which the visa will become invalid. Some users also mentioned the METV (Multiple Entry Tourist Visa) as a preferable alternative, which allows for multiple entries within six months, providing a flexible means of travel.

Might want to consider the METV visa. Good for 6 months with multiple entries up to 60 days each entry. Usually extendable an additional 30 days. Won't be affected by any of the upcoming proposed visa exempt entry changes. Pretty much the best tourist visa available, gives you plenty of options to come and go as you please for 6 months.

John Bunn As with all visas, the 6 months the METV visa is good for begins on the day of issue. When You choose to use it is up to You. However you usually have to use it by 90 days. The visa will have a use before date dtamped in it. Waiting 30 or 60 days to use it shouldn't be a problem, but waiting 90 days would be pushing the limit. Just get it closer to when you actually plan to travel. It really is in my opinion the best actual tourist visa available. If you actually want to move to Thailand its still a good way to get started and when you're ready get a Non-O or Non-OA visa.

If you voted for Reform UK or Restore UK, then you shouldn't be going abroad, seeing as you hate foreigners so nu h. Stay on the island instead. Hypocrite πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€¬, or you'll end up being a ruddy foreigner I Thailand.

Martin Martinand don't think, that you're a Norseman, if you can't handle strong women.

At least, Swedish, Norweigian and Danish men don't treat women like shit, like you do.

They respect women.

No wonder the Thai embassy, is turning your 60 day free VISA down to 30, cos you behave like heathens.

Also, don't date Scandinavian girls either cos we're brought up to be equal with no chauvanistic men. / adopted from Thailand by Swedish parents and proud, so go fck yourself πŸ–• πŸ‡ΉπŸ‡­πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡ͺ

Paul Lappinread what I've written already, and try and comprehend it.

They're changing the rules. Cos I guess people are over staying or they behave like heathens, and people in America and the UK, go to other countries, whilst complain about foreigners in their countries. They shouldn't go on holiday at all.

Paul Lappinalso, these types of people, also say that us adopted from Thailand by western parents, aren't Swedish, in my case, or to which country they were adopted to, and that were Thai cos we're not white so I'm giving the people in those country a bit of what they dish out. What goes around comes around, you know.

A single entry tourist visa is valid for 90-days from the day the embassy issues it. So you have 90 days to enter Thailand using that visa to obtain your 60-day entry stamp.

wrong was 60 days chap ,90 days ?

Rory Cameron..he means you have 90 days in which you can arrive after the date of issue.

Rory Cameron the visa gives you the conditional right to enter for a certain period of time.

The timeframe within you have to use this visa is 90 days.

The moment your passport gets stamped, the visa is used and done.

At that moment you get a permission of stay stamp based on that visa of 60 days.
