how many days roughly do you think we would need to stay in PP to get the visa approved using your friends experience please ?

@Brandon ***********

no worries thank you !

@Todd ********

thank you Todd! Very helpful.

Alternatively we might also fly to Singapore mid May and apply for a 60 days tourist visa at the local embassy which is apparently easy to extend for another 30 days so 90 total. So mid august. Might be the safe option what do you think?

Just not sure how long we would have to stay in SG to get the tourist visa approved.

@Brandon ***********

thank you. I would probably choose Singapore as there are direct flight from Samui every 2 days.

Do you know how long the approval process for a TR visa takes roughly please ?

@Todd ********

thanks for your help guys. Really appreciate. My wife is actually pregnant and would like to deliver in Samui around 15-24th of July. So I would like to make sure we can stay at least till beginning of august. Not sure how to do that.

Then we can still go to Singapore and come back the day after with a 30 days visa exemption scheme.
