Hi everyone.

So I applied for a 60 day tourist visa a couple of weeks ago and I got told yesterday by the Thai embassy that they are currently receiving a very high amount of applications and that the processing time is now 25 business. I am leaving on Friday so I am afraid I won't get in on time.

What would you recommend? I guess I need to enter Thailand with the 30 day exemption then ask and pay for an extension in an immigration office? I am assuming that an e-visa can't be activated when in Thailand already?

I can't find clear answers.

Thanks so much in advance 🙏
