Sorry to bother you all but I have a friend that is a little confused.

He is a South African that came to Thailand with family on a VOA by plane in early March. They extended by 30 days at immigration.

His family returned home and he did a a border bounce in Ranong by boat mid May and has just extended for 30 days at immigration.

He has booked flights to a Vietnam in early July for 2 weeks and a return flight back to Thailand mid July and will stay in Thailand for 1 more month.

Will he have a problem returning from Vietnam as he has read that he can only enter twice on a VOA.

Sorry if this is a question asked a lot, just can't find a proper answers on the net.

Thank you in advance

Hi everyone.

We are coming to Thailand for a holiday.

I'm a bit confused and hoping someone here can clarify some info for me.

1. Is it still necessary to have expensive covid medical insurance?

2. Can South Africans get VOA?

3. What is needed to be able to enter Thailand?

TIA

Hi all. My friend was just told he cannot get another ED visa because he's South African.

His visa expires quite soon and we were considering the options to stay in Thailand for a while.

He needs to stay in order to sort out domestic things (house, dog, furniture, etc. )

Is there any nearby place South Africans can fly in order to get a tourist visa?

I heard South Africans will be made to wait a month in Malaysia before they are granted a visa, is this true?

Is there anyone with any ideas?

Thanks for reading and thanks in advance.

South African Visa application in Singapore

Hi All

Please can anyone advise if it is still possible for a South African to apply for Type B Non immigrant and Type O non immigrant visas in Singapore.

I have seen that as of 12 February 2018 that South Africans cannot apply for them in Kuala Lampur any more as you now need to reside in Malaysia.

What I saw on the Singapore embassy website is the same list of countries but South Africa is not included in the list, as with the Malaysian embassy website. I am worried that it might be an error on the Singapore website that they somehow did not include South Africa.

Also I see that you can apply online now for it in Singapore. Will we be able to apply online for the visa’s before departing Thailand and go present yourself at the embassy for the payment and the following day for the pickup of the passport? I saw that they advise to apply for a visa 5-10 working days in advance of travelling to Thailand and that the minimum processing time is two working days.

Any help or advise is greatly appreciated.
