Do You Need a Visa to Visit Thailand?

Friday, July 10th, 2009

Thailand visit, requires only one pass for the visits, 30 days or less. This applies to U.S. citizens. Citizens of other countries have in their country’s embassy or consular section and see what the rules.

For the Americans, a passport and a visa is required if you have a vacation of 30 days. You can use the visa at the consulate in your area or to the embassy in Thailand. The online forms and information are on the pitch, which allows the information and better prepared.

The normal requirement is a passport, a visa form and two photos. There is a price of about $ 50, but you must check and see that the taxes are underway. If your passport is currently being run in the next six months of May you need to buy a new one.

If there is no consulate in your area you can create a visa upon arrival at the airport or visit the Immigration Office in Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket, Chiang Mai or. The easiest and recommended, while the visa prior to departure, so that you can not worry about when you are in Thailand.

There are other types of visas for foreigners. You will receive a work visa if you use in Thailand. Read the rules and regulations in this regard. There are severe penalties, without a visa to work in Thailand.

If you plan to retire in Thailand, you can use a visa for one year. It remains to consider with Thai immigration every 3 months, but the visa was a stroke of luck for the majority of emigrants. It thus proposes a visa for a short-term quarterly Laos or Cambodia. You must be at least 50 years in order to enjoy this visa. There is also the medical and financial needs. Check the last, because it seems that the rules for amending the visas per year.

It was also a mass of uncertainty about some changes, which in 2007 the number of days abroad in Thailand could be the extension of the visa. Again, for the latest updates and be ready for change. Let us hope that the new Prime Minister is for foreigners.

Thailand visit, a wonderful experience and can be done by the verdict, even longer than the normal 2-week vacation. For most countries, obtaining a visa for a longer stay is a minor bureaucratic and requires only one form, 2 photos and a little money. With the cost of fuel and air fares, I prefer to stay longer than shorter.
