I am sure this has already been answered but I searched and can’t seem to find an answer.

As a U.S. citizen visiting Thailand, do we have to pay for a visa? To get the 60 days, we have to pay for a tourist visa? If so, where exactly do we pay for it? Can we get in on arrival? Or should we get an e visa?

Hello, looking for Visa advice. I am from the USA hoping to get a 60 day Tourist Visa that I can eventually extend for another 30 days after that. I am currently in the USA and worried my 60 day Tourist Visa would not be approved by the time of my ideal flight date into Thailand on December 3rd (I have not bought my flight yet as I am trying to figure out the visa). Does anyone know how long it takes? Or if I could come to Thailand and get a Visa Upon Arrival and then extend that or apply for a longer visa while in Thailand? My third, option is I fly into Indonesia before Thailand in a few days and could go to the Thai Embassy in person in Indonesia to try to get a 60 day Tourist Visa, if I could get this in time for my ideal flight date on Dec. 3rd?

Any / all advice is much appreciated🙏

What’s the solution for booking RT airlines tickets to Thailand since you know you will not be using the return ticket?

I’ll be using Visa Upon Arrival (thus RT tickets to show leaving Thailand), but will apply for retirement visa when arriving.

Thanks

I am a US citizen planning to visit Thailand for two months. I believe I get a 30 day "visa" upon arrival and can extend for another 30 days. My question is: What do people do when an airline questions you about having a ticket with a 60 day departure date from Thailand but no 60 day or longer visa in your passport? Thank you in advance for any advice you can give me.
