Hi, I am visiting Thailand the first week of November to meet my girlfriend for the first time, we will be travelling around Thailand sight seeing. Can anyone tell me what my best visa options are, bearing in mind I may want to stay longer than the 45 days visa exempt.
I have read other comments about OA Visa and a Non-0 90 day visa but don’t understand what it means.
Should I apply for my Visa from The Royal Thai Embassy, Queens Gate, London. Thanks…
TLDR : Answer Summary
The original poster is seeking advice on the best visa options for their upcoming trip to Thailand, where they intend to meet their girlfriend and travel around the country. They have read about the OA and NON-O visas but are unclear about their meanings. Community members suggest that for stays beyond 45 days, the poster can enter Thailand on a visa exempt basis for 45 days and apply for a 30-day extension. Additionally, they can re-enter Thailand after a brief exit to receive another visa exempt stamp, effectively allowing for up to 150 days stay. They are also informed about the possibility of applying for various long-term visa options while in Thailand.
