Hello, looking for Visa advice. I am from the USA hoping to get a 60 day Tourist Visa that I can eventually extend for another 30 days after that. I am currently in the USA and worried my 60 day Tourist Visa would not be approved by the time of my ideal flight date into Thailand on December 3rd (I have not bought my flight yet as I am trying to figure out the visa). Does anyone know how long it takes? Or if I could come to Thailand and get a Visa Upon Arrival and then extend that or apply for a longer visa while in Thailand? My third, option is I fly into Indonesia before Thailand in a few days and could go to the Thai Embassy in person in Indonesia to try to get a 60 day Tourist Visa, if I could get this in time for my ideal flight date on Dec. 3rd?
Any / all advice is much appreciated🙏
TLDR : Answer Summary
A US citizen is seeking advice on obtaining a 60-day Tourist Visa for Thailand, which can be extended for an additional 30 days. The individual is concerned about the processing time and is considering options such as applying for a Visa Upon Arrival or obtaining the visa from a Thai Embassy in Indonesia. Community responses suggest applying for the visa as soon as possible or entering Thailand visa-exempt if timing becomes an issue.
