@Nigel *****

- this is what I saw in regard to our conversation last night.

@Paul *******

- that would never be an option since I live in the GTA and would not drive 4 hours to do a walk in. If you plan ahead its not a problem.

Yes we saw that they indicated up to 20 business days and we had quite a few days off with the Xmas holidays so we figured it would take the full time. It came 2 weeks before we needed to leave so all good. Looking forward to immersing in the Thai culture, food, beaches and nightlife.

@Helen *******

- Do you know the cost to extend for 30 days? Is there a shorter extension, say 15 days? Is it simple to extend while you are there? Are the immigration offices near Kamala Beach? Is the Single Entry TR obtained in Toronto at the Embassy? Is it cheaper in the long run to do that? How long does it take for them to process the application and can it be done online? Thanks for your assistance.

@Stephen ******

Thanks for the info. That's awesome.

So what happens if 2 friends are travelling together and 1 is 71 and the other is 60? Do we have to separate? We will be coming February 1st for 8 weeks. Also, should we get a tourist visa in Toronto for 60 days from Thai Embassy? How long do we apply in advance? Thanks for any info.
