What are the requirements for applying for a Thai tourist visa from Vietnam and how do land crossings affect my visa status?
Hey, I have two seperate questions...
I want to apply for a 60 day tourist visa while I'm in Vietnam. But it says that I have to show "Confirmation of legal residence in the country where you apply for the visa". Does this just mean I can show my Vietnam visa?
Also... I have already done 2 land crossings this year. Does the 2 land crossings per year restart at the beginning of the new calendar year, or is it 12 months from my first land crossing?
Many thanks!

Answer summary
A user inquires about applying for a Thai tourist visa from Vietnam specifically regarding the confirmation of legal residence needed for the application, asking if their Vietnam visa suffices. Community members clarify that this requirement varies by nationalities and that the Thai Embassy should be consulted for specific regulations. Additionally, they discuss the limits on land border crossings, noting that while there are restrictions on visa-exempt entries, those holding a visa face no such rules.

Only a few countries are required to be a Vietnamese resident to apply for a tourist visa in Vietnam. Where are you from?
As to border crossings per annum it's only visa exempt entries that are restricted to 2 per annum. There's no such rule if you are crossing with a visa, although if you have a history of trying to live inside Thailand on tourist/visa exempt entries a tourist visa holds no guarantee of entry

It sounds like you are trying to use the online Evisa application system to apply for a Thai tourist visa.
That's not possible to do if you are not in your home country.
Look at the Thai Embassy or Consulate website in Vietnam for their requirements for the Thai tourist visa.
They are strict on reviewing your application. Meet the requirements for the Thai Visa and get the visa.
AND if you have a recent history of staying in Thailand using various visas and extensions, then be prepared for your application to be DENIED.

It's two Visa Exempt land border entries per calendar year, with a Visa you're ok.

if he has a recent history of staying in Thailand, having a Thai Visa is no guarantee that he will be allowed to enter Thailand.Activity
