Processing time of arrival visa at Thai airport

Will it shrink?

Anyone who has applied for landing visa knows that long queues in Thailand are normal. During the tourist season, I spend all my time at the Thai airport.

With the approach of the Spring Festival holiday, according to media reports, Thailand has once again become China's preferred tourist destination. Is there any improvement in speeding up the processing time in landing visa?

Waiting too long for the visa on arrival? Immigration: Act according to the rules.

Under normal circumstances, tourists can apply for a tourist visa at the Thai embassy in the host country in advance before departure. In order to stimulate tourism, the Thai government allows tourists to re-apply for visas on arrival at the Thai airport. At present, citizens of 18 countries have this treatment, and their stay time is 15 days.

Tourist visa applications are parallel, and tourists who have never been to Thailand find landing visa more convenient. But in fact, Thailand is a popular tourist destination, and too many tourists like to leave at once. Therefore, it is common to wait three or four hours for visas on arrival at major airports in Thailand during the peak season. Cheng Rana, deputy director of the Immigration Bureau of Thailand, recently stressed: The Immigration Bureau strictly checks the personal data of foreign tourists in accordance with international rules, helps them to go through landing visa procedures, prevents criminals from sneaking into Thailand to commit crimes, strengthens the maintenance of social stability, and ensures the personal and property safety of tourists.

Listening to the sound, there is really no chance to speed up the visa on arrival. Why?

In the case of crowded flights and too many tourists, it is most convenient to go to Thailand in advance.

Most tourists who apply for visas on arrival at Thai airports come from China and India, while most foreign tourists are concentrated in Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang, with an average of 6,000-7,000 people entering Thailand every day. The staff of the Immigration Bureau will check according to the prescribed steps, such as checking the application materials, interviewing, checking whether the cash carried with them is up to standard, booking hotels and travel materials, etc. And then view them. If they pass, they will charge the tourists a handling fee and issue documents.

The processing time for each visitor is about 3 minutes. After completing the formalities, tourists will queue up at the entry checkpoint. Although the staff have tried their best, if the passenger plane arrives at a certain time, long queues are inevitable. After all, tourist information needs to be strictly checked to prevent criminals from taking the opportunity to enter the country.

I would like to remind you that it is ok to try landing visa in Thailand at ordinary times, but during festivals, it is best to get a visa in advance before going out, and don't waste most of your time at the airport.

Go to Honglian Lake in Thailand to see the sea of flowers during the Spring Festival.

Apart from Bangkok or Chiang Mai, where are you going to play in Thailand during the Spring Festival?

Wulongtani, located in the northeast of Thailand, is a world-famous archaeological shrine. There are beautiful river views and magnificent temples here. In 20 16, the Nonghan Lake in its territory was rated as the 15th wonder of the world by CNN. "Thousands of red lilies in the lake bloom once a year, and the lake is covered with endless red, just like a dream."

From June+10 in 5438, shortly after the rainy season, about 20,000 red lilies were in full bloom in nearly 50,000 mu of Nonghan Lake, which lasted until March of the following year. When the lotus flowers are in full bloom, local villagers will take a boat and enjoy wonderful poems among them.

There are two ways to get to Honglian in the middle of the lake: charter a boat or buy a ticket to take a covered boat. The former is equipped with a boatman and can take two more people.

The best viewing time of Lotus Lake is 6:00- 1 1:00 in the morning, when the buds begin to bloom, which is the most touching.
