Hi, I am looking to get a Thai tourist visa in Ho Chi Minh City next month (UK citizen) Does anyone have experience of this? I would like to know about their strictness on requirement such as ticket out of Thailand. Also just about how easy/mindfuckingly difficult it might be there? I am also open to using an agency if its possible and worth it. Thanks!

They wanted all the details specified on the website when I went. Tickets, bank statement, the lot. I’d have it all, just in case. This was about 12 weeks ago.

I did it 4 weeks ago. Very easy. They ask for both flights into and out of Thailand. No financial evidence 🙏👍. K

My turnover was 1 day, and that gave me time to buy a ticket out of Thailand! I decided to get a return ticket to HCMC as that was the cheapest and was able to cash it in before I left Vietnam.

Thats awesome! I have another question mate... sorry! I plan to get there in time to hand in before noon on a Wednesday, do you think it will be ready for pickup on Friday? Normally a 2 day turnaround right?

Do you know if they were OK with the flight being past 60 days? bearing in mind I will just go to immigration and extend the visa an extra 30 days?
