How many single entry tourist visas can I obtain in a year while in Thailand?

Michael ********

Nobody knows, and one persons experience has no bearing on what yours will be. Might get 2, might get 3....You won't know until you are denied the next one.

What are the implications of arriving just before midnight on a 60-day tourist visa in Thailand?

Michael ********

I would have thought they would look at the arrival date of your flight? If not then if you can get stamped in after midnight, good for you. :)

Why was my 60 SETV visa application denied by the Thai Consulate in Hong Kong?

Michael ********

Bank Statements have always been required and not cash. Next time be as prepared as you can, research and have as many documents and proofs that you can have to cover all bases.

What are the visa application procedures for traveling to Thailand from Perth, Australia, and do I need to apply two weeks in advance?

Michael ********

I suppose I can see that if aiming for the absolute maximum of 270 days then you would 'lose' days. I wonder how many people actually do this and therefore are cut short by 2 weeks. I also doubt that a tourist visa would take 2 weeks to come back from Perth consulate. Think mine took 5 days or something last time I did it.

Michael ********

It would only affect a multiple entry visa. And in that case you would re enter before the original visa expiry date and be stamped in for a period past that date anyway. I don't see how you lose 2 weeks??

Michael ********

Tourist visas have to be activated by entering Thailand within 3 months of the issue date. So you might just scrape in with the 2 weeks...LOL...you then get the period of stay that starts from the entry date.
