Thank you for accepting.

I'm having a bit of a melt down right now so hoping someone may be able to help.

I hold a UK passport and my son and I fly to Thailand next Tuesday 09/07/19. We will be staying in the Kingdom for 36 days. I know we need a Tourist Visa as we're staying over the 30 days. I realise I'm cutting it fine but I started the application a while ago, got confused, gave up and then just forgot about it.

I'm stuck at what 2 docs I need to provide as my English dad has a house there (he resides in the UK).

TLDR : Answer Summary
A UK passport holder traveling to Thailand with a stay of 36 days requires a Tourist Visa due to exceeding the 30-day allowance for visa exemption. Key document requirements discussed include proof of accommodation, which can be a refundable hotel booking, and the upload of the passport as proof of nationality. Some users suggested the possibility of entering visa-exempt, getting a 30-day extension for a fee, and the importance of timely application to avoid complications.

Don't bother with the visa. Just get the visa exempt stamp on arrival which gets you 30 days, then extend for 1900 baht at a local immigration office to get another 30 days.

 deported and band for 5 years with a lot of fee if they find them with overstay. Stupid and dangerous recommendation

 no but the minor is still illegally in the country and can get overstay stamp + she has to really read the fine print of her travel insurance.

You've got a field required in 7 because at the beginning of the application you have either entered Thailand or the UK in the field asking where you have residency. You need to leave it blank

Serena Bowles travel booking is your flight confirmation. Accomodation booking is exactly that. Accomodation of where your staying or a letter from your dad to say your staying with him

Proof of accommodation: just book a refundable hotel room for 10-14 days. That's what I was told. I applied yesterday for the 60 day visa through an agent in Malaysia

Sophie Marielle I'm telling you how to do it. I know EXACTLY how it works. I'm giving up now anyway because there are far too many people chiming in with how to circumvent the system

Good luck

 a simple short letter stating you are staying at the Thai address as a guest, for the 36 day period, include your names and passport numbers, signed by the owner will suffice.
