What can I do if my Thai E visa hasn't arrived before my trip?
Has anybody ever gotten a thai E visa at the last minute? Trip is Monday but the E visa has not dropped and it was applied over 15 working days now!
Flight was paid for 😩

I just checked requirements and the application process for a tourist visa from Nigeria. It's not far from applying for an O-A Visa (except for financial requirements) from for example Europe,and this is just a simple tourist visa. 😁

Well,I just read "several weeks" which seems to be more accurate. We're talking about Nigeria now.

2 years ago you needed to lodge electronically. Australian passport. Only if you wanted a tourist visa of course. Not exemption. The rules change a lot.Max *************

It's been quite a while since they changed the visa exempt from 30 to 60 days.
