seems like it will take atleast 3 days, and since I'm arriving on Friday and leaving on Wednesday it might be hard. I think I will go with the phuket extension but thanks for ur idea :)
okay, I will only be in phuket for 4 days but I might give it a shot then to avoid going in Bangkok later on, since I already got my plans set for onward travel
Robert, is it possible to extend by 30 days at any time? Or does it have to be close to expiry of the visa exempt? I will be in phuket the first time and I heard extension is less time consuming there
these are new processing times for any visa that were issued today according to allavisum, I was offered a 60 day visa and was gonna accept that but that isn't an alternative any more with the new processing times.
