to avoid to lose 1 day in Pattaya immigration office, I asked (through the official visa site from Belgium) a 90 days visa by paying 40 €; I had to prove my belgian house, my hotel reservation, my flights confirmation, passport and picture; so they could see that I was travelling from nov. 8 2024 to feb. 5 2025 and they issued a visa starting at the day after their acceptance, i.e. sep. 13 2024 till dec. 11 2024 !!! I sent many mails, no answer at all...
I am so angry, not for the money but for the way they treat the tourists
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user expressed frustration over their 90-day visa application for Thailand, believing they received incorrect dates. Despite paying for a 90-day visa, comments clarified that they likely received a 60-day tourist visa, which is valid for entry for 90 days from issuance but only allows a 60-day stay upon entry. There was a general consensus that the user misunderstood the visa terms, which led to confusion about the stay duration and the necessity of an extension at the immigration office.
