Hello, we are going to Thailand 20th of july for 35 nights, so according to our country (Slovakia) we need tourist visa. When should we apply for e-visa form? Two weeks before holiday or less ?

 Thank you very much for the advice :-)

Answer summary

A tourist visa is recommended for your 35-night stay in Thailand, as it ensures you won't have issues with entry requirements or extensions. It's advisable to apply for your e-visa as soon as possible, well ahead of your departure date, ideally now. This way, you can avoid any potential delays, ensuring that you receive your visa in time. Note that using a visa exemption may require additional paperwork and could complicate your arrival, as you'll need to prove your exit from Thailand within the 30 days.

You should apply for tourist visa and not use visa exempt as some are saying.

If you use visa exempt you'll have to show your airline a ticket that you're leaving Thailand within 30 days, and you'll have to waste a day of your trip at the immigration office.

It costs the same to get the visa before you go and more convenient in every way.

You can also come in without a VISA (confirm, but you probably have the 30-day visa exemption) and apply for an extension for the extra days.

You can enter Thailand on a visa exemption that gives you 30 days. You can then extend in country for another 30 days for 1900baht.
