they looked at it 1 day before we were flying, so after almost 5 weeks and then needed more documents. They told us to move our flight (1 day before we were leaving French territory, 2 weeks before entering Thailand) or the was no use in sending them the documents.

They are pretty useless. My friend was traveling from the Netherlands and had it sorted in 2 weeks.

Do take plenty of time to organize the visa with the Thai embassy in France. 5 weeks was not enough to organise our 60 day tourist visa and we lost our money. They are French and slow!

@Tamara **************

yes, maybe, but they will never let me know they made a mistake. They did not look at it until one day before we travelled and then said: oeps, too late to do it now.

Useless, but learned a lesson. When I want to go for my retirement visa it will not be through them

@Seán ******

they are like tax inspectors, they have their own kingdom and nobody to question them

@จอนห์ ******

Do you know if you need to do it in person or can I take my husband's passport and details to extend both at the same time?

@Kay *****

oh yes, definitely start now. Hope you're experience is better than mine.

@Alan ******

thanks!

@Terary *********

they actually wrote that I need to postpone my flights if I want my visa, but, hmmm, that is true. Maybe I should just serve it to them as there is nothing to lose.

@Jørgen *******

yes, I thought of that as an alternative

I know that is my only way now, but the whole thing about getting the 60 day visa is that I do not have to drag my kids to an immersion office to spend the day waiting for a stamp.
