TLDR : Answer Summary
User recently received a 60-day Thai tourist visa via email and shares excitement about traveling to Hua Hin.

Whats documents you need to send to get this visa?

Congrats! But my advice is not to post pictures like that in any social media or public groups. Because your application number is visible, your name as well. Not all people are good in this world, just friendly saying.

thanks so much, really appreciate it, I have 5 and a half weeks until my trip. If they decline my application do I have the option to apply again or send supporting information?Stuart *********
@Jasmine ******
They generally wonāt deny an application if you can provide the stuff they need. Heard some reports of some offices asking for full details of hotel accommodation for the entire time - which is just stupid. But you can get around that by booking a hotel on Agoda thatās fully refundable and just cancel after you have the visa.Jasmine *******
@Stuart ********
thanks Stuart, am I okay to reply to this thread if I have any further questions?Stuart *********
@Jasmine ******
sure or start a new question.Stuart *********
@Jasmine ******
upload your passport (if you are applying in that country). If not upload proof that you can legally be in whatever country you reside.Reply to

is 7-not applicable too? Sorry for all the questionsStuart *********
@Jasmine ******
for 5 upload your hotel booking for the first few daysChan ******
@Stuart ********
will they question or reject the application by not have hotel booking for the total 60 days? If I planned to book 2 weeks, then find other place when I arrived, will they accept I only show 2 weeks booking confirmation? Thank youStuart *********
@Chan *****
up to the office / embassy you use. Generally not if itās a booking for the first few days at least.Chan ******
@Stuart ********

thanks Stuart I appreciate that. Iām getting conflicting answers for the following 2x questions, some have also said you can apply for a tourist visa on arrival but UK gov website says you canāt
Stuart *********
@Jasmine ******
You can ask them on here. Weāre here to help.Stuart *********
@Jasmine ******
8 is not applicable either. 6 can be a savings account. They want proof that you can fund yourself whilst on holiday. On application if they want further information theyāll email you asking for it.

Congratulations!!! š Print out the pdf and make sure you show it to the immigration officer on arrival. Many people think they donāt need to and the IO stamps them in as a visa exempt entry - they donāt know you have a tourist visa unless you show them.
Michiel ********
@Stuart ********
That's not entirely true. Yes you need a print out, but the immigration officer does know you have an e-visa. I actually tried to "save" my tourist visa for a subsequent entry as I changed my plans and was now only going to stay for a few weeks. However, the immigration officer told me she knew I had an e-visa and asked for the print, and stamped me in for the sixty days, voiding the visa.Stuart *********
@Michiel *******
Perhaps they do. Perhaps some donāt bother to check. Plenty of posts on here to confirm wrong stamps given on arrival.Reply to
