What is a visa on arrival? Take Thailand as an example.

Landing visa means that the applicant does not directly obtain a visa from the host country, but arrives at the port of the country with a passport and an entry permit issued by the relevant authorities of the country, and then issues a visa. Visa on arrival is usually unilateral.

Take Thailand as an example:

According to the notice of the Ministry of Interior of Thailand, passport holders can apply for visas on arrival at entry checkpoints, and the stay time should not exceed 15 days. When passengers arrive at the airport, they will apply for visas on arrival. Choosing landing visa requires patience, and the waiting time is longer. ?

The visa on arrival went to the relevant offices of 32 ports, and the customs opened the visa on arrival in Thailand according to the tourist guide card.

Visa fee:

1000 baht? (originally 2000 baht) (only Thai baht is accepted, which can be exchanged at the foreign exchange office near the counter)

In principle, if foreign citizens need to expand information, they should apply for visas in advance to China's embassies and consulates abroad, offices, offices of special commissioners in Hong Kong and Macao or other overseas institutions authorized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Applicants should complete their visas in advance according to their own itinerary.

If there are no special circumstances, the applicant can generally apply for a visa from the above-mentioned institutions on his way to China when he has no time to apply for a visa near his place of residence.

Foreigners who hold letters and telegrams from authorized units in China and ordinary passports from countries that have diplomatic relations or official trade relations with China, who really need to come to China urgently for the following reasons and have no time to apply for visas at the above-mentioned China overseas institutions, can also apply for visas at the port visa authorities authorized by the Ministry of Public Security:

(1) China temporarily decided to invite China to participate in the fair;

(10) Other invited personnel do not have time to apply for visas at the above-mentioned China overseas institutions, and they hold letters and telegrams from the designated competent authorities agreeing to apply for visas at the ports. If it does not fall into the above circumstances, the port visa authority will not accept it.

Being able to apply does not mean that the application will be approved naturally, and all the responsibilities that may arise therefrom should be borne by the applicant.
