Dear Ronnie,
I have a question regarding a visa for Thailand. I would like to know experiences of others regarding the application of a tourist visa for Thailand.
After searching the internet there are so many options that I don't know which is the best anymore. On the internet it says that you have to go to the embassy (which is only open for a short time every day) and the other says that you can also do it online through an agency or ANWB shop.
Now I would like to know how you did to get a 60 day visa.
Bedankt,
Regards,
Ridge
Dear Ridge,
You always apply for a “Tourist visa” at a Thai embassy or Thai Consulate. The only difference is that you can do it yourself, or have an office do it for you. It's really not that hard.
Read this in advance:
TB Immigration Info letter 015/19 – The Thai Visa (5) – The Single Entry Tourist Visa (SETV)
TB Immigration Info Letter 015/19 – The Thai Visa (5) – The Single Entry Tourist Visa (SETV)
TB Immigration Info letter 018/19 – The Thai Visa (6) – The “Multiple Entry Tourist Visa” (METV)
TB Immigration Info Letter 018/19 – The Thai Visa (6) – The Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (METV)
But readers can always share their experiences with you.

ANWB or visa service or visa shop etc. are just your messenger and that costs (but you don't have to take time off).
I have often obtained 60-day tickets through Consul A'dam (Lairesserstr and Prinsengracht for a while with Thai surly ladies) - go there, fill in the form, photo + copy of the ticket and sometimes something else, pay and pick it up a few days later. then there is a full-page sticker in your pass, which does not even clearly state that it is for 60 days (it only says tourist-single entry).
I have submitted the visa application (NI-O) in recent years (3x) via VisaCentral. It cost me €47,43 last time.
Fill in forms, make copies and bring them to ANWB store. If more information is needed, it can (until now) be handled by email.
When ready, you will receive a message and you can pick it up again at the ANWB shop
Turnaround time in 2018 was 9 working days (between delivery to and collection of ANWB store).
I live about 100 km from The Hague and this method saves a lot of travel time!
The Thai embassy in The Hague is indeed only open for a few hours a day (9-12) and you have to wait with many people in a very small stuffy room until it's your turn.
Moreover, there are all kinds of discussions between the applicants and the staff that increase the waiting time considerably.
To prevent this (having become wise through experience), I make sure that after my 30th exemption I go to the emigration office in Krabi and arrange the extension there, costs 1900 THB and is quickly arranged.
Dear Ronny, I admire you for your courage and perseverance in repeating the same thing over and over again.
What you have explained with love so many times and yet the same questions keep coming up. that you explained a few days or weeks before. Cheers Ronny!!!!!!! ADMIRATION
Ronny indeed has some patience. Compliment!
Sorry I mean angelic patience, didn't pay attention to the automatic correction...
Picked up my tourist visa for the umpteenth time today at the Thai consulate in Amsterdam.
-Complete a copy of the visa application correctly (can be downloaded from their website)
-1 passport photo
-Copy/screenshot of your flight details (ticket)
-€30,- (cash)
2 working days later your passport will be ready with the requested visa in it, a child can do the laundry!
Good luck with and applications, and enjoy your stay in Thailand!
Depending on where you live. Consulate of Thailand in Essen.
If you are there at 9.00 am and you are the first customer.
Can you realize by, having already completed the application form,
http://thai-konsulat-nrw.euve249425.serverprofi24.de/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Antragsformular-Februar-2015.pdf
Passport photo with you. Income can be demonstrated by bank statement or statement by authority or employer. Are you married with a Thai marriage certificate?

Are you over 50 oops even if you are younger. Bring a passport and I thought 60 Euros for non-immigrants which can be converted to a one-year visa in Thailand.
30 euros for a 90-day tourist visa.
Know on which day you will depart or arrive in Thailand.
Check on the consulate site.
If you have everything with you, you will be outside at 9.15 with a visa.
Because all my data have been stored in the computer for years, it takes me no more than 5 minutes.
In November I will go to Thailand for the 3rd time this year (all times shorter than 30 days). Do I have to arrange a visa in advance?
Sometimes I read that you can enter Thailand 2x without a visa, sometimes it says 6x per year and sometimes unlimited.
I have emailed TAT, they say twice per calendar year, the Thai embassy says that the local officer determines on the spot how often I can enter Thailand visa-free.
This is an interesting question and partially given.
I come in my record year 2008 7 times. Has been a little longer
Then worked on a Project in Batu Gajah in Malaysia.
Then drove to Nakhon Si Thamarat once every 2 months for a long weekend.
Received a new stamp every time at the border.
Oh, the car had a Malaysian license plate, but I had a Dutch passport.
In 2016 I flew up and down to the Netherlands 4 times. Each time with a 3 months visa.
I've never heard of a maximum. Maybe that applies to a 30 day visa?
Nice question. Who has the correct answer.
Could be someone who often drives up and down and / or lives at a border and regularly goes to Myanmar, Laos, Cambodia and or Malaysia.
As??
You do not need a visa if your stay in Thailand is less than 30 days.
You can then enjoy the “Visa Exemption”.(Visa Exemption)
When entering through an international airport, there is no rule that imposes a maximum number of entries.
What can happen is that after a few short-term arrivals, you will be taken aside and you will be asked some questions about what you are actually doing in Thailand.
As a guideline figure, people often talk about 6 arrivals per year, but it may also happen faster. Don Mueang has a reputation for acting quickly in this area.
Usually this is an informative conversation and has no consequences. It then remains a note or warning that you must take a visa next time, even if your stay is less than 30 days.
Immediately returning and first obtaining a visa is also possible in principle, but is very rarely applied. Perhaps in people who have already received a warning for this.
Another tip. Make sure you can always show sufficient financial resources. This means 20 Baht per person or 000 Baht per family (or the equivalent in other currencies).
For Visa Exemption is actually 10 000 per person/20000 for family but you better play it safe)
For land entries, “Visa Exeption” entries are limited to 2 entries per calendar year. This has been the case since December 31, 2016.

Hoi
Live in Eindhoven. Go to consulate in Germany
At Essen.
Amsterdam.
-Complete a copy of the visa application correctly (can be downloaded from their website)
-1 passport photo
-Copy of your flight details (ticket)
-€30,- (cash)
Immediately ready or drink coffee for 1 hour.
I already stated at 22.05.
I think a METV is no longer possible. Stood on the old site of the consulate
It said that this is no longer possible in the Thai consulate in Amsterdam.
This has been since August 2016.
You cannot apply for a single “Multiple entry” visa there, so not even a Non-immigrant “O” Multiple entry.
https://www.thailandblog.nl/visumvraag/geen-multiple-entry-verkrijgbaar-thaise-consulaat-amsterdam
But that does not mean that an METV would no longer be possible.
You can still apply for this at the Thai Embassy in The Hague.
