How long does it take to get a tourist visa from the uk. I’ve been to Thailand 3 times this year.

I’m a British passport holder. I applied for a single entry tourist visa at thaievisa.go.th in early October. Having done this in 2022 I expected it to take a matter of days. I submitted the last of the requested documents towards the end of Oct but still today my application was pending in the system. All research suggested waiting for 30 days before getting worried, but I emailed visa.lon@mfa.go.th this morning and got the visa approved this afternoon.

Just wanted to share the benefit of emailing the embassy should you have any concerns.

Hello guys,

I applied for DTV visa but i still have a valid multiple entry tourist visa for Thailand. Does anyone know if I can go to thailand with the valid tourist visa while DTV is still pending?

Can I leave Thailand to reenter with the newly approved DTV visa after my tourist visa expires?

Hi, My friend has Filipina Girlfriend and she has lived here in Thailand for over a year now, which means she has 4 Visa-Free entry stamps, so can she fly back to home country and come back Thailand?

I tried to apply for tourist visa online, but they want proof of airfares in and out, as well as itinerary and a hotel booking for everyday I plan to remain in Thailand. Also 3 months of banking. I don't want to pay for a hotel in advance of my visa approval and a flight BEFORE getting a visa. Is there any other way? Thank you for any advice.

I would like to ask about the approval chances for a Syrian citizen applying for a Tourist Visa to Thailand. The applicant has been living and working in Dubai for almost 4 years, with a valid job, legal bank statements, and everything is legal.

Does anyone know how high the approval rate usually is for Syrians applying for a Tourist Visa?

And maybe if there are trusted consultants who can help prepare all the documents and guide through the process?

Thank you in advance for any advice 🙏

If 180 days per year in Thailand are allowed on a tourist visa, is that a calendar year from Jan to Dec (as it is for tourist visas in India) or is it 180 days within any 365 day period?

What is the best tourist visa to apply for if we are planning to be in Thailand for 89 days? Tried submitting an application for the e-visa which was initially rejected and requires a ridiculous amount of additional documentation of finances and accommodations. The DTAC visa seems simple but noted that the extra 30 day extension from the initial 60 days is discretionary at immigration.

We've be to Thailand on extended visits many times but the new tourist visa procedures seem very confusing and arbitrary. Thank you for any advice about this.

I understand that it’s possible to get two tourist visas per year without much trouble. Am I right in thinking that the year is calculated as a calendar year - so two tourist visas between January and December of a particular year?

If this is the case then could I get a tourist visa from September 2025 to December 2025 (including 30 day extension) and then two consecutive tourist visas from January 2026 to May 2026?

Do we get a reset every January?

I am asking on behalf of my helper from Myanmar as she has just obtained a tourist visa. Her purpose is to take a 5 days course in Thailand. After taking the course, she intends to seek employment there.

Can i know if that is allowed as I will need to ensure that she has obtained proper entry visa to Thailand. She is currently in Singapore and intends to travel from here to Thailand.
