TLDR : Answer Summary
A user is seeking advice after applying for a tourist visa to Thailand from Nigeria through an agent, planning to travel by August. The community offers varied responses, from humorous comments to actual advice about contacting the agent and ensuring they are reputable. Some members caution about the visa process for Nigerians, indicating that they are not part of Thailand's visa exemption scheme and emphasize the importance of following up with the agent.

Certain countries can get 60 day visa exemptions on arrival ,some other countries get less , I'm not sure where Nigeria stands with this,, but your agent should be able to tell you, just ask him.

If your country is on the list for visa exemptions on arrival, you will be able to go in August, hope this helped.

Are you the person I need to talk with about all the money I’ve been promised from Nigeria these last 40 years? Will I get interest on all of that?

Walk over to a couple of the many tourist information counters you will meet, when you walk around.

No matter what you want to do, you can get advise there, they are the most knowledgeable people about what is going on, at the destination.

Then you will get a real live person, to help you finding the best tours / transport or what your need, and if they don’t provide excellent service, easy to pick another.

They have the local knowledge about almost everything a tourist need.

Tours / transport can be booked just 1-2 days ahead, in that way, it’s possibel to take the weather in account, which you can’t do by booking weeks or month ahead online.

And as a extra bonus, you will support local people by dealing directly with them.

If anything goes wrong, you will know where to contact face to face.

The agent can help but be careful, you may be able to do yourself thru thai immigration. It will cost some up front cash to have them facilitate for you. Please make sure they are reputable. Nigerians unfortunately are not part of Thailand's new visa exemption scheme, so you do need a tourist visa (also eligible for other visas) but the process should be fairly straightforward. Good luck!

I use these posts as a way to filter idiots. Best to just block the biggest ones. Welcome to Thailand sir don’t judge the country by the rude comments it’s a much nicer place and none of these people are actually Thai.
