I'm not sure about everybody else's experience, but each time I email the Thai Embassy London, they never answer my questions & I come away still lacking the answers. Their phone service is not answered which is more frustrating.

I asked this, if anyone can answer it:

Please can you answer if it's possible to come to Thailand this way?

Purchase a Single Entry Tourist Visa from the Thai Embassy for £30. Flights are booked from the UK for November 2024 and return home to the UK in May 2025. We'll stay in Thailand for 60 days then take a return flight to another country.

We'll fly back into Thailand after 2 weeks, and start our 60 days again under the Visa Exemption Scheme for UK Nationals. We'll then take another return flight to another country for 2 weeks towards the end of our 60 days.

We'll fly back into Thailand for our final 60 days under the Visa Exemption Scheme for UK Nationals. We'll then be flying back home to the UK before the end of those last 60 days.

If I’m entering Bangkok as a UK national at 11.05pm on the 29th January do I have 30 days from that point of entry - so I’d have to leave by 27th February before 11.05pm ?

I’m a UK national but I’m entering Thailand from the Phillipines- am I allowed to enter without a onward ticket booked? I might go to Bali next . I’m not planning to stay more than 30 days so I don’t need a visa.

Hi - I’m from the UK and I entered into Bangkok via plane on 14th January on a visa exemption for 45 days. Left after 2 weeks. Im entering again to Thailand via land on the 7th april on a visa exemption and will leave the day after. Am I therefore allowed to enter via land to Thailand on a visa exemption? Thanks.

Back in September my family and I got two-month tourist visas in KL. I wrote up a report on the experience that I then forgot to share on here... perhaps this is no longer helpful if things have changed since September, but if this is still useful, here are the details:

As promised, here is a post about my recent experience (September 2022) of applying for Thai tourist visas for my family (UK nationals) in KL. Short story, we got them, but it was not without stress. If you do want to do it in KL, you need to:

* Go to the website of the Thai embassy in KL and make an appointment to make your application and then a second one the next day to pick up your visa (applications are in the morning, pick up in the afternoon)

* Make sure you have downloaded and completed the application form (available online) and got two passport photos

* Gather together all your supporting documentation, i.e. a photocopy of the photo page of your passport, your last three months' bank statements showing transactions and your current balance (make sure you have a few thousand dollars in there), flights in and out of Thailand within 60 days, and a booking showing that you have paid for accommodation for the whole length of your stay in Thailand (contrary to what it says on the embassy website, you don't need the taxpayer number of the hotel - we just used a regular Agoda booking confirmation PDF - you may still need that number if you are saying you'll be staying in a rented house though)

* As we were applying as a family of three, we needed three copies of all the supporting documentation - make sure to do all your photocopying before you arrive at the embassy as the nearest place offering photocopying had a very long queue on the day I went

* We also attached our wedding certificate and our kid's birth certificate (not essential, but they advised that could be helpful for a family applying together)

* You also need to print out, complete and sign a checklist (available on the embassy's website) to show that you have included all the things mentioned above

* Payment is in ringgit and cash only (don't be an idiot like me and try to pay on a credit card...)

One final thing, we had been in Thailand since May with visa exemption plus COVID extensions. That didn't stop us getting the new visa though and the woman in the embassy advised that it would only be a problem if we had overstayed previously. I don't know if it also helped that we were not coming straight from Thailand to get the visa (we'd been in Vietnam for five days in between).

Thanks to everyone in this group who helped with advice and good luck to everyone trying to get their visas wherever you are.

Good afternoon

Can I verify that the advise I found on this group for marriage certificates is still valid ** as we are both uk nationals with a marriage certificate that we need authorising for our next year extension .

*

Thailand is not a signatory to the apostille treaty so the apostille is not recognized as certification/authentication in Thailand.

Go to the embassy and get them to either "authenticate it" or swear an affidavit of authenticity in front of the consular officer.

You then go to the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs at Government Complex (Chengwattana) and get their stamp on it.

Now you are authenticated and good for use in Thailand.

*

Many thanks

Hi, I am flying from Siem Reap to Yangon (via Bangkok) in a couple of weeks time, and thinking of going through Bangkok immigration to put my drone in left luggage as there may be issues bringing it into Burma. 3 weeks later I fly from Yangon to Krabi (again via Bangkok) and will go through immigration in Bangkok again to collect it (although I’m not sure whether I’d go through immigration to get my connecting flight to Krabi anyway as it’s domestic?). I also was in Thailand for 3 weeks a couple of months ago. Is having so many entries/exits in my passport in a short space of time one or two of them for less than an hour) likely to cause me any issues? I’m a UK national and would be using the visa waiver. I’m worried the short entries might make them think I’m conducting business rather than a genuine tourist? Thanks!
