What should I do if I haven't received my visa before my flight to Thailand?
I applied for my visa on the 14th October 2026, my flight is on November 15th 2026 Monday @12:30am. I haven't heard nor received any information about my visa. Any advice?
Summary so far
The user applied for a visa on October 14, 2026, but has not received any updates before their flight on November 15, 2026. They seek advice on what to do next, as time is running out. Comments from the community suggest checking the application status, waiting, or contacting the embassy directly, especially through platforms like LINE. There's also discussion about visa timing and entering Thailand without a visa.

For everyone having issues with Thai embassies and consulates:
Try finding their LINE ID and using that to contact them. Line is like Facebook popular in Japan and Thailand. Most Thai government departs should have this and I used it to chat with the Washington DC office a few years back when I needed help with something

What is the visa you applied for? Can you just enter with visa exemption for 30 days?

Can you check the status of your application online? With only two days to go it’s not looking good.

Same thing happened to me, after application I was in for 30 days and hearing nothing, I sent them an email requesting further action,then nothing, set the same email again couple of days later , then received my Visa two days ago (with six days to spare before departure .) I hope you get your Visa before you go , good luck

Apply 90 day days before arrival. It is valid for 90 days from date of issue and it starts from the date you arrive within that period.Jim *******

Michael Viglianco I've never had to use a flight ticket to get a Visa I don't need a visa to enter Thailand anyway you have to have that other thing filled out and you can do that 3 days prior to entering. Laos and Vietnam. I applied for Visa before I had my flight booked
