i meant 15 .. damn typo :p.

@Stuart ********

actually indians get 5 days of Visa on Arrival and its not extendible.. so toursit visa is the only option if they wanna stay longer

@Deepanjali ******

sorry i have no leads on indian agents who can iniate the visa process from india.. u can ask for info in 'Indians in Thailand' group. So i would suggest that look into retirement visa option for your mum when she is here... but first step is definately the 60 day Tourist visa for u to go with

@Deepanjali ******

technically its shud be 30 days extension..but the immigration refuses to give it for indian nationals ... in some cases the agents can do it for u ..but thats gonna take more than 1900 baht obviously. Talk to a few reliable agents regarding this .. i am gonna try to extend it for myself aswell .. lets see how it goes

U can get an agent to do it fro u from vfs kolkata. Pls note : Tourist visa is only for 60 days stay and 7 days extendible for indian passports. Multiple entry option is still not available right now.. but that might change from July onwards.. refer to vfs website for more details.. unfortunately the online option has still not resumed in Indian VFS offices.. better to consult an agent

Yes u can , but i suggest u to do it at local immigration office instead if the airport and save urself from the anxiety and last minute stress. Also ita better to tell them that u are going to a neighboring country for a few days

Return tickets r a must .... U can book refundable flight

Yeah.. just flew with that last month

Yes u can just keep the bribe handy

Just go to the website listed on the vfs website instead of googling it.. now the scammers already have your personal info probably
