When does a tourist visa for Thailand start: upon acceptance or arrival?

Michael ********

It is a 60 day tourist visa, not a 3 month tourist Visa. When the Consulate issues the visa, you must enter the country before the Visa expires, anytime within the 3 month period. You will be stamped in for your 60 day visa on arrival into Thailand. Once in the country, you can apply for a 30 day extension of stay (not a visa).

Can I extend my visa at immigration on the day of expiration?

Michael ********

You should go well before your due date. At least a week or more, to be on the safe side. Leaving it until the last minute is asking for trouble, if there any issues with your documents.

Do all family members need to attend immigration for TM30 processing in Thailand?

Michael ********

If your Landlord registers you online you do not need to visit immigration in person. Really the only time that you do, is if you need an extension.
