Hello,

This is kind of urgent so would appreciate your advice!

I am a Brit and am due to from London to Bangkok on Wednesday 14 Oct and am scheduled to fly back 16 January.

I have just gone in to check in for my Eva Air flight, but it won't let me proceed without uploading travel documents and is indicating I needing a paper travel visa to enter the country.

I was under the impression from previous research that, as a UK citizen, I could enter Thailand and apply for a visa there, which I could then apply to extend later while in the country, or leave and do a visa run.

This situation is somewhat urgent and unexpected , so I would really appreciate any advice on what to do.

If necessary, I would be happy to get an e-visa in advance but is this possible within 48 hours?

Many thanks in advance!

- UPDATE -

Thank you all so much for your helpful replies - I truly appreciate it. I was able to check in and now I will keep my fingers crossed at the airport, but your messages have been very reassuring to someone who was in a panic. Thank you again! 💙

Is Don Mueang les busy than three other airport in Bangkok? Do I need 3 hours or can we do with 2 to get through immigration and security?

Just arrived Suvarnibhum 4 hours before departure, checked in and through security in 25 minutes

Finally made it through quarantine and I'm trying check in for my flight from BKK, but the airline's website says I am not verified with the Mor Prom app. I downloaded the app but it's in Thai language. Is it necessary that I use that app or do I simple go to the airport and check in at the counter?

Just checked in to a flight after doing a one day quarantine. All they wanted was the pcr test that the hotel did and my passport. Very easy :)
