What are the requirements for obtaining a tourist visa for Thailand?
Just on my way back to Thailand from Hanoi with my second ED Visa safely in passport. When I went to drop my paperwork off I was amazed at the number of people being turned away (6+) who were applying for tourist visas, because they didn't have the paperwork to show a flight out of Thailand. I don't understand why people don't read the guidelines and make sure they have the correct paperwork. It saves so much stress and wasted time. Just hoping I get through immigration at Don Mueng without hassle!
