What is the best nearby location to apply for a 60-day Thai Tourist Visa after having a visa exempt entry?
I hope everyone is having a lovely morning! 🌞
60 Day Thai Tourist Visa Question:
We came here with a visa exempt upon arrival + 30 day extension. I hope I’m using the right terminology. 🤞 It’s expiring on June 10th. Previously to that, we had an ED Visa.
Would you please share your experience where to fly near Thailand, with a greater chance obtaining/applying in a Thai Embassy for 60 days Tourist Visa? I’m not sure if this matters at all, but we have US Passports.

Can you apply for an e visa 60 day tourist all done on line then leave Thailand and come back showing the e visa which is all done on line

@Dave ********
no. You need to take your passport into RTE to get the visaNeal *******
Getting the visa is one thing, but getting through Thailand immigration should be a concern for you. Especially if after completing your ED visa you border bounced to get visa exempt entry and extension. “Immigrating without documentation.” Your US passport should get you back in on a border hop for 30 days plus 30 day extension. If I were you and it was me, I would then get back to the US. It seems that SETVs obtained in Southeast Asia are red flags to Thailand immigration.

why would anyone bother with back to USA. If you feel desperately fearful of entering Thailand, choose an adjacent country for a month and come back.Neal *******
@Todd ********
Back to the home country to cool off and regroup for a few months. Then a METV issued by the Royal Thai Embassy DC or Consulate General could work her, as there could be a significant gap between her previous entries and the new visa.

Vietnam is asking for 6 months of bank statements for a SETV Laos is good lookOn the website because you may need to book an appointment in advance and beware coming off a ED visa and back to back TV you may be pulled aside so have the 3 proofs a onward ticket in 60 days,20k in baht or another currency and booked accommodation
Todd *********
Had no problems getting 60 day TV in KL last month.
Helen ********
@Todd ********
how many days did it take to get visa? Did you have to make appointment?Todd *********
@Helen *******
you absolutely must make an appt at KL. They won’t let you in the property without. And it took less than 48 hours for visa to be completed. They will give you a pick up appt. Could be faster depending on how busyHelen ********
