Hello all,

I'm going to Thailand for 4 months, I just got my internship agreement... I have to start on January 10th.

I would like to know the delays for the visa ? I am afraid to take my plane ticket and not to have the visa in time.

Thanks !

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking information about the visa application process and potential delays for an internship in Thailand starting January 10th. Commenters advise applying for the visa as soon as possible, especially considering potential holiday-related delays. They specify that a Non-Immigrant Type ED visa is appropriate for internships, valid for three months after issuance, which gives the user ample time to apply prior to traveling.

a single entry Non-Immigrant Type ED visa <- the visa you need to do internship here, is good for 3 months after it's issued meaning you have that long to ENTER thailand and when you do stamp in you'll get 90 days.

So you can apply for the visa WAY before you're traveling here, no need to wait

Better apply now...holidays may slow the process.

That's known for being the most difficult consulate in Europe to use. I recommend keeping in close contact with your employer about your visa.

That'll be between you, the employer, and the Thai consulate that you're using. What Thai consulate are you using?
