Frequently asked questions about visas in Thailand

Q: Can I apply for a visa on arrival in Thailand with a white passport?

A: Yes.

With more and more countries opening visa-free access to China tourists and landing visa, it is more and more common to leave the country with a white passport, but it is necessary to bring round-trip air tickets and hotel reservation forms to avoid inspection by entry-exit staff.

Q: Is it better to apply for a sticker or a visa on arrival before departure?

A: From the price point of view, it is more cost-effective to apply for a pre-departure visa! When the embassy handles 230 yuan, it only needs to add 20-50 yuan handling fee to find an agent. If you want to apply for landing visa, you need 400 yuan.

Although the visa on arrival brings great convenience to travel and the processing time is short, the stay time is relatively short, so if you want to apply for a visa on arrival, you should confirm your stay time in Thailand. At the same time, there are risks in handling landing visa. If you have enough time, I suggest you apply for a pre-departure visa.

Q: Which airports can handle visas on arrival?

A: At present, 32 entry ports in Thailand can handle landing visa, and popular tourist destinations such as Bangkok, Phuket, Chiang Mai, Koh Samui and Pattaya can handle landing visa.

Q: Does landing visa really need to carry cash with you?

A: Yes.

Immigration Thailand will randomly check 10000 baht (2000 yuan) per person and 20000 baht (4000 yuan) per family. I advise you not to take risks. There will be no ATM for you to withdraw money from customs clearance to visa on arrival, so be sure to come as required. If it is randomly selected, it may be repatriated.

Q: To apply for a pre-departure visa, my household registration is in Sichuan and I work in Beijing. Which consulate should I go to apply for a visa?

A: At present, Thailand has/kloc-0 embassies (Beijing) and 8 consulates (Qingdao, Shanghai, Chengdu, Xi 'an, Nanning, Qingdao, Xiamen and Guangzhou) in China. Each consulate has its own jurisdiction. If the household registration is in Sichuan and the passport is issued in Sichuan, unless you have a Beijing residence permit, you need to apply for a Thai visa at the Chengdu Consulate. If the household registration is in Sichuan and the passport is issued in Beijing, it can be handled at the visa office of the Thai Embassy in Beijing.

Prepare the materials before going out. In fact, no matter whether landing visa can be run or not, these materials should be prepared. Isn't it simple? (Manual Funny)

Difficulty 1: What materials need to be prepared?

What do I need to prepare for signing a domestic bill?

Original passport (required):

1. Passport is intact, without damage or water stains;

2. The validity period is at least 6 months from the date of departure;

3. There are at least two complete and continuous blank pages.

ID photo (required)

Two two-inch bareheaded color photos on white background.

What does landing visa need to prepare?

The original passport and photo of the certificate are the same as the above domestic visa delivery requirements, so I will not repeat them here.

The next step is the exclusive requirements for visas on arrival.

Travel information (required)

Copy of valid return ticket and confirmed ticket within 15 days after entry.

Cash (spot check)

1.2000 baht in cash;

2. Foreign currency cash equivalent of not less than 10000 baht (about 2000 RMB) for individuals and not less than 20000 baht (about 4000 RMB) for families.

Get the above materials ready, and we can get on the plane, hahaha, brothers land at the airport!

Difficulty 2: What are the ports of entry in landing visa?

At present, there are 32 entry ports that allow visa on arrival in Thailand, which basically covers the destinations that most travelers want to go to. Bangkok, Pattaya, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Krabi, Koh Samui and other places where people often go can all be landing visa.

Treatment process

Difficulty 3: How to find the visa office on arrival?

Take Suvarnabhumi Airport as an example:

First of all, students who feel that their English is not good need not worry. Suvarnabhumi Airport has signs in Chinese, and there are Chinese-speaking staff on arrival visas. After getting off the plane, follow the direction of passport inspection indicated by the sign. Just like in China. If you go further, you will see Visa.

Just follow the arrow in the direction indicated by onArrival visa when you arrive.

The next step is to fill in the entry and exit card and landing visa application form, and fill in the form. In the form, you can find blank forms and forms for filling in the template.

Difficulty 4: How to fill in the entry card?

The way to get an entry card is also very simple:

1. During the flight, the flight attendants will issue access cards in turn;

Fill in the visa on arrival, or there is a counter for entry and exit cards before you go through customs. Welcome friends, help yourself! Of course, eating too much is useless.

Thailand changed the old entry card into a new one on 20171kloc-0/in order to improve the speed of filling in the entry card!

Then the key question is coming. How to fill in the new entry card?

Look at the picture below:

Haha, isn't it a little annoying, so annoying that it gives you a headache? It doesn't matter, look at the Chinese-English comparison table below to make it clearer!

Here are a few things to remind your friends, be sure to pay attention to:

1. Please fill in the information in capital English and figures (unfamiliar friends can practice first);

2. If there are options, be sure to fill in "X"! Fill in with "X"! Fill in with "X"! Not √! ! ! Say the important things three times! ! !

3. The signature is consistent with the passport signature (friends who show calligraphy will be miserable);

The entry card will be taken away when you enter Thailand. Be sure to keep your exit card, or there will be a big problem when you leave Thailand.

5.

Special reminder, for friends who travel to Thailand for the first time, it is best to fill it out carefully. Although it will take some time, it will be more troublesome to fill in the wrong form.

Off topic, tell me about my first trip to Thailand that year. I filled out seven or eight entry cards for two people, so that when I went to the counter to get a new card by mistake several times later, I felt that the lady at the counter gave me that kind of embarrassed and polite smile. It's been half an hour since I filled out the card. If there are not many people, I may cry on the table where I fill out the card.

Difficulty 5: How to fill in the visa application form on arrival?

Fill in the entry card, and then fill out the application form for visa on arrival. This form looks like this. Look at the picture below:

The content is still some standard questions, but it should be filled in carefully, especially for friends with children. Don't draw too simply. Fill it out and go to the boarding gate below to queue up for payment.

Difficulty 6: How to apply for a visa on arrival

The counter on the right is the regular channel. After paying the materials and visa fee, you will be given a number, and then you can go to the place where there is a seat in front and continue to wait for the call. This queue is slow, and the window on the left is the fast lane. If you add 200 baht, you can pass quickly.

After getting a passport with a visa (actually stamped), go to the passport inspection counter next to you and hand in your passport and entry and exit card. The airport lady may ask some questions, so just answer them truthfully. Remember to take off your eyes and jewelry. After stamping, you can go to the baggage carousel to pick up your luggage.

Difficulty 7: What should I do if there are too many people queuing for visas on arrival?

The whole process of applying for a visa on arrival is not complicated. It should be noted that the queuing situation on holidays may be serious, and it is common to queue for 3-4 hours during peak hours. If you are married and have children, it is best for friends with weak constitution to make some preparations in advance so as not to affect the subsequent travel arrangements.

Skills to shorten the queue time:

1. The visa application form on arrival can be printed and filled in in advance;

2. Entry and exit cards can be filled in on the plane;

Choose a seat near the door and get off the plane as soon as you land. Run! brothers

4. Choose a day when there are not so many people to travel;

5. Set aside enough time;

6. Pray that today is a good day.

Friends who are worried about queuing to fill out the form can look at this "artifact" of our family, avoiding queuing to fill out the form, and it is also suitable for friends who have similar troubles in applying for visas in advance. Foreign police will take you through the back door and always have a VIP experience. Friends who don't like trouble are the best.

Is it easy to get a visa in Thailand? Thailand visa is super easy to handle. Even a white passport doesn't matter. It doesn't need any real estate license at all. Just provide the original passport valid for more than 6 months and two recent two-inch photos on a white background. If you do it specifically, you can do it on the travel platform. The price is about 240, and it will be sent back in about 5 days.

Visa on arrival, Thailand, not recommended. First, it is more expensive than handling it in advance. Landing visa needs 2,000 baht, which is about 400 RMB. Besides, it takes about 1-2 hours to queue up after getting off the plane. Think about it. Who doesn't want to go surfing as soon as possible when we get to our destination? Who wants to waste time here? So if it's not a very temporary trip, you should apply for a visa in advance.

Tips:

When applying for a visa to Thailand, it is divided into visa consular areas. For example, Beijing includes these places: Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Liaoning, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Henan, Hubei, Tibet and Qinghai. If you go online to find a travel agency, you can ask the customer service and find a shop that can go to registered permanent residence.
