I would like to go to Thailand for 6 weeks in jan with my wife who is a Thai national. We both live in the U.K. the Thai embassy in london haven’t updated their info. Is my best course of action getting a 30 day tourist visa on entry and then extending it in Thailand. I have fighured out the insurance, COVID test , quarantine and all the other bits it’s just the visa I’m still a bit confused about. Thanks 👍
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is planning a 6-week trip to Thailand with their Thai national wife and is seeking advice on visa options. Comments suggest that the user could consider getting a 30-day visa on arrival, or applying for a 60-day tourist visa. Alternatively, as the user is married to a Thai national, they could opt for a 90-day Type O visa based on marriage, which might be easier in terms of paperwork. Key considerations mentioned include the timeline for obtaining visas and the requirement for COE (Certificate of Entry) amid COVID-19 restrictions.
