What is the Best Visa Option for a UK Citizen Planning a 60-Day Stay in Thailand?

Okay, easy with the "beautiful people" b/s :O .

This isn't a Khao San Road, Pai or Ko Pha Ngan fb group filled with flower-children, old hippies, veganz & other miscreants :P

Good Luck though (y)

Jonny, if your profile is correct about where you live, just go the the Royal Thai Consulate in Glasgow ! Give Kay a call first, she is not in every day.

The tourist visa you're talking about getting from the thai consulate in London isn't really an e-visa. You apply and submit your documentation online then are told when you can come turn in the actual documentation or you can mail it in with your passport to get the tourist visa stuck into your passport.

The thai consulate in Hull still has walk up service, so you can show up there, apply and get the visa issued on the spot.

I'd say you're on the right track, apply for a single entry tourist visa BEFORE you wing your way here, that will stamp you in for 60 days and you can extend that for 30 more days at the immigration office where you're staying in thailand

Seeing and reading that to get Tourist visa in the neighbor countries of Thailand is getting more and more difficult, I love the idea of get a 30 day visa Exempt Entry and see how it goes from there. Why not first tell what are your plans. How long do you like to visit Thailand, you talk about a Single Entry Tourist Visa which gives you 60 days on entry, can be extended once with 30 days and then start doing border runs or visa applications to stay longer.

I would say if you plan to stay longer why not look into the Multiple Entry Tourist Visa, with some planning you have 270 days inside Thailand?

You can get the tourist visa. It’s not technically an evisa as such. You apply online upload the required documents but you still must either post your passport or arrange an appointment to give your passport to them to put the sticker in.

You can do a border bounce from a visa exempt entry. Almost all borders do not require a length of stay outside. Ie cross the border and come straight back. Research this forum for the border you want to use for specifics.

Or you could arrive of the visa exempt (the one which you get 30 days on arrival) then e tend that by 30 days once you are in Thailand.

Costs 1900thb. Pretty easy to do.
