Thailand Visa Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I apply for a Thai visa on arrival with a white passport to exit customs?

Q: Is it better to apply for a sticker before departure or a visa on arrival?
A: From a price point of view, it is more cost-effective to apply for a visa before departure! The embassy process is 230 yuan, please find an agent. You only need to add an additional handling fee of 20-50 yuan. If you apply for a visa on arrival, it will cost 400 yuan.
Although visa on arrival brings great convenience to travel, the processing time is short, but the stay time is relatively short, so if you want to apply for a visa on arrival, confirm your stay time in Thailand.

Take Suvarnabhumi Airport as an example:
The first thing to say is, feel Students who are not good at English don’t need to worry. There are Chinese signs at Suvarnabhumi Airport, and there are Chinese-speaking staff at the visa-on-arrival location. After getting off the plane, follow the signs pointing in the direction of passport control. It feels like you are in China. If you continue walking forward, you will see the direction of Visa

The next step is to fill in the entry-exit card and visa-on-arrival application forms. There is a table where you can find blank forms and form-filling templates.

The method of obtaining the immigration card is also very easy:
1. During the flight, the flight attendant will hand out immigration cards in turn. card;
2. Fill in the visa on arrival, or before passing through customs, there is an entry-exit card issuance counter. Friends, don’t be polite, just take it! (Of course, it’s useless to take too much).

Look at the picture below:
Haha, is it a little annoying, so annoying that it gives you a headache? It doesn’t matter, look at the picture below in Chinese and English. The table is clearer!
Here are a few points to remind you, be sure to pay attention:
1. When filling in information, be sure to use uppercase English and numbers (for those who are not familiar with it) You can practice first);
2. If there are options, be sure to fill in with "X"! Fill in with "X"! Fill in with "X"! Instead of "√"! !!Say important things three times!!!
3. The signature should be consistent with the passport signature (friends who show calligraphy will be miserable);
4. Entry The card will be taken away when you enter Thailand. Be sure to keep the exit card, otherwise there will be big problems when leaving Thailand;
5.
A special reminder , for those who are going to Thailand for the first time, it is best to fill it out carefully. Although it will take a certain amount of time, it will be more troublesome if you fill it in wrongly.
As an aside, let me talk about the first time I went to Thailand. For two people, I filled out seven or eight entry cards before I could get it done. So when I filled it out incorrectly several times and went to the counter to get a new card, I was confused. I felt like the lady at the counter gave me that awkward yet polite smile. Half an hour has passed since I filled out the card. If there weren't so many people, I might have cried lying on the table where I was filling out the card.
Difficulty 5: How to fill in the visa on arrival application form
After completing the entry card, fill in the visa on arrival application form. The form may look like this, see the picture below:

The counter on the right is a regular channel. After paying the materials and visa fee, you will be given a number, and then you can go to the seat in front. Continue to wait for your number to be called. The queue in this queue is slow. The window on the left is a fast lane. You can fast pass by adding 200 baht.
After getting the passport with the visa (actually a stamp), go to the passport inspection counter next to you and hand in your passport and immigration card. The lady at the airport may ask some questions, just answer them truthfully. Remember to take off your eyes and jewelry. After stamping, you can go to the luggage carousel to pick up your luggage.
Difficulty 7: What to do if there are too many people queuing up for a visa on arrival
The whole process of applying for a visa on arrival is not complicated. It should be noted that the queuing situation may be serious during holidays. 3-4 hours is also common.

Is it easy to apply for a Thai visa?
It is super easy to apply for a Thai visa. Even if it is a white passport, it does not matter. No proof of property is required at all. You only need to provide the original passport valid for more than 6 months+ Two recent 2-inch photos with a white background are enough. If you need to apply for it, any travel platform can handle it. The price is about 240, and it will take about 5 days to send it back.
I do not recommend a visa on arrival in Thailand. First, it is more expensive than applying in advance. A visa on arrival costs 2,000 baht, which is equivalent to about 400 RMB. Moreover, you have to queue for about 1-2 hours after getting off the plane. Come to think of it, who doesn’t want to go out and waste time when we’ve arrived at our destination? So if it’s not a very short-term trip, it’s better to apply for a visa in advance.
Tips:
When applying for a Thai visa, the visa consular district is divided into different consular districts. For example, the Beijing consular district includes these places: Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, and Liaoning , Jilin, Heilongjiang, Henan, Hubei, Tibet, Qinghai. When you go to a travel agency online to apply for the specific consular district you belong to, you can ask the customer service and find a store that can handle the consular district where your household registration is.
