ORIGINAL POSTER

Hi all! 

Can anyone advise whether there needs to be a certain amount of time between tourist visa applications? 

Had a single entry tourist visa in Nov, but I left Thailand after only one month in Dec. Now back in Australia planning to apply for multi-entry tourist visa, with intention to enter Thailand again in February. Have tried to call the embassy but no answer, and can’t see it written anywhere - so would appreciate if someone can confirm whether there needs to be a certain time period between visas. Thanks in advance 🙏🏼

TLDR : Answer Summary

The waiting period between tourist visa applications for Thailand can vary depending on the embassy or consulate. Some users report successfully applying for multiple tourist visas with minimal wait time, while others suggest that scrutiny may occur based on your travel history. Contacting the embassy directly or applying online is recommended, as responses may vary. It’s emphasized that each application is subject to approval by the immigration officer.

I did my 90day visa online in Sydney and about 1 week later I got a email to go in with all my paperwork and got my visa stamp on the spot very simple with a multiple entry

Do your application online via Sydney get pre-approval if via post to Canberra you include payment visa declined you lost your application money

I’m an Australian. I emailed the Embassy in Canberra they were really good at responding. I think they only work in the mornings - I never had any luck with phone calls either.

I applied for a 60 day visa and had a question about it - I included a copy the email with visa application.

Last week I applied the day I got back from Thailand for another 1.

I got another in 3 days from London embassy.

I appreciate it still depends on immigration officer in Thailand.

Just my experience.

Hope that helps best of luck.

With only one previous visa, it shouldn't be a problem. There are no reports of people being turned away by Canberra or Sydney for applying for additional visas.

Looking at your history in Thailand you may face scrutiny at Immigration.

That's completely dependant upon the embassy or consulate you'll be using. Some have a limit and some do not.
