I am currently in Thailand. I am Canadian, thus Visa exempt for airport entries for periods of 30 days or less. I know that I can go and request a 30 days extension for 1900 Baht, but since I already bounced in & out several times since october, the immigration officer advised that for next time, I should have a 3 months official visa. I am planning a trip to Hanoi, Vietnam. My question is: How long should I expect the process to take in Hanoi once I drop my passport and the visa form at the Thai embassy?
TLDR : Answer Summary
The process for obtaining a Thai visa at the embassy in Hanoi typically involves dropping off your passport and visa form in the morning on day one and then picking it up the next working day in the afternoon. However, it is essential to meet the visa requirements and make sure you haven't overstayed your previous entries in Thailand, as this could impact your chances of approval for a new tourist visa.
