What is the processing time for a 6-month tourist visa to Thailand and can it be done outside of one's home country?
Does it take 15 days max to process a 6 month tourist visa? Does the process take longer outside home country? If one is not financially able to go to a near by country (hotel, food, processing fee, flight) the best would be to return to country of origin before last run?
Thank you.
Thank you.
Answer summary
The processing time for a 6-month tourist visa can vary by embassy, with some taking up to 15 days; it's crucial to check the specific embassy's website for details. Additionally, this type of visa can only be obtained from your home country or a country where you hold residency, not from other Thai embassies. If unable to travel to obtain the visa, it may be advisable to return to your country before the visa's expiration.

Every embassy has different processing times. Check the website of the embassy you'll be using to see what they advise.
You can ONLY get a 6 month multiple entry tourist visa from your home country or a country you have residency in, you cannot get it from other Thai embassies.
