Compared with tourist visas, landing visa is more flexible. You can leave after buying a plane ticket, but it takes 3- 10 working days to apply for a tourist visa, so it is more expensive to apply for a tourist visa in landing visa.
The application fee for tourist visa is 230 yuan RMB, the visa is valid for 90 days, and the stay time in Thailand is no more than 60 days (it can be handled at the Thai Embassy in China or a treasure agency). The cost of handling landing visa is 2,000 baht (about 445 RMB), and the stay in Thailand should not exceed 15 days.

Last year, when domestic compatriots entered Thailand to handle landing visa, they had physical conflicts with local staff due to the issue of fast-track charges, and once boarded a hot search. As a result, domestic news reported that Thailand cancelled the fast-track charges and put up various "no tipping" signs.
In fact, Suvarnabhumi Airport still has a fast track, or the original formula, the cost is 200 baht. However, there is no obvious sign on the fast track site, so the site staff should be consulted. If you meet a lot of people, it is recommended to take the fast track. If you really can't finish it, it is possible to queue for a few hours.
As for the stricter material review, it is indeed stricter than in previous years, mainly to strengthen the review of accommodation addresses, and hotel orders need to reflect names. Therefore, it is best to have a name for each of these travel itineraries.
Materials that landing visa needs to prepare.
1. Fill in the entry card (with template);
2. Fill in the visa application form on arrival (with printing method);
3. Passport valid for not less than 6 months;
4. A 2-inch standard photo with a white background (4cm*6cm) should be posted on the application form, preferably taken within half a year (prepare as much as possible to prevent falling off). If you forget to bring it, there is a machine next to the visa on arrival that can take pictures. It costs 200 baht.
5. Round-trip air ticket order (please clearly print the confirmed air ticket order in black and white or color, with emphasis on name, date and order number).
6) Hotel orders. Although official website, the embassy, didn't ask for hotel orders, this time in landing visa, we saw that the list of materials at the counter indicated that hotel orders in both Chinese and English were needed. So we suggest that you can book a hotel or a hotel that can be cancelled first. It is better to prepare this material to avoid unnecessary trouble.
7) Individuals must bring foreign currency with a value of not less than 10000 baht (about 2000 RMB), and families must bring foreign currency with a value of not less than 20000 baht (about 4000 RMB). You can check the cash you carry with you when you enter the country. Although the probability of random inspection is not great, once it is found that there is not enough cash, it will be refused entry.
How to quickly apply for a visa on arrival Many people fill out an application form for a visa on arrival at the airport, but the disadvantage is that they need to queue up. If they fill in the wrong form, they have to queue up again (the key is to fill it all in capital letters, and there will always be clerical errors).
In order to save the time of queuing to fill in the form, you can find the page of the visa application form on arrival, take photos and upload your passport, which avoids the mistakes of manual filling. After filling it out, you can save it in an album and print it out, which saves the time of queuing at the airport to fill out the form. When others are filling out the form, you have already entered the country with the form. Think about it. Isn't it cool?

Now it has been replaced with a new one. The entry card and exit card are combined into one page, and the front contains the exit card and entry card. The exit card is on the left and the entrance card is on the right. The customs will nail the exit card to your passport when you enter the country and hand it over to the customs directly when you leave the country.

1) According to passport information, visa page information and flight information, fill in in capital English and figures.
2) For the part with options, use "x" instead of "√".
3) The signature should be in English, that is, the pinyin of the corresponding name on the passport.

1) The entry and exit cards are not prepared by yourself, and the flight attendants will issue them in turn during the flight.
2) Before filling out the visa on arrival or going through customs, there is also a counter for handling entry and exit cards, which can be collected at will.
Customs clearance process for visa on arrival 1) If you are going to Thailand for the first time, you will definitely be confused. How can I get to landing visa?
According to my past experience, I summed up two methods. Method 1: Follow China people (simple and convenient). Method 2: Go to the visa window on arrival according to the blue guide "passport inspection and baggage claim".
2) The guide for visas on arrival will not appear at first, but don't be confused. It will appear when you walk. In this process, you will encounter the foreign currency exchange window, and the exchange rate is not good. It is not recommended to exchange Thai baht here except in an emergency.
3) Follow the crowd for about ten minutes and you will see "VisaonArrival”(200 baht, about 40 yuan RMB).
At this time, you only need to prepare all the information mentioned above in the document.
Check the files in the file search window, give all your materials to the staff, and they will return them to you after they have passed the examination, and then give you a number to wait for the call.
During this period, the staff may check your cash at any time. If so, they will point out the documents with this clause. Open your wallet and show it to him They won't count carefully. )
4) Get your passport, entry and exit card and air ticket back, and queue up at the immigration office for entry.
5) Go to the luggage office, get your luggage, and then you can enter the country.
Landing visa FAQ 1, passport is invalid for half a year, can you successfully run landing visa?
Thailand's official requirement is half a year's validity, so it's best to meet the conditions and don't take risks.
I didn't change Thai baht. Is there an ATM for landing visa to withdraw money?
Answer: There is no ATM before entering the country, but there is a foreign currency exchange point, so if you don't prepare Thai baht in advance, you can only exchange money at the exchange shop (I suggest you exchange enough money in landing visa, the exchange rate will be better after customs clearance, and ATM can withdraw money directly).
3. Is it possible to go through customs directly without booking a hotel?
Yes, as long as the landlord of the hotel sends an English confirmation email.
4. Do children need to fill out the visa application form separately?
If the child has an independent passport, he needs to fill out one. If you use the same passport as your father or mother, you need to fill in the child's name, date of birth and place of birth in the application form of your father or mother.
