Option 1: Visa in advance from India (Single entry or Dual entry)
1) Passport with 6 months validity
2) Return tickets
3) Copy of your credit card or copy of 6 months bank statement
4) 2 Passport size photographs with white background
5) Thai visa application form
Cost (for single entry): INR 2000 (Thai visa cost) + 600 (VFS cost) + 0-500 (your visa agent cost)
Validity: Visa is valid for 3 months from date of visa at embassy and you will be allowed to stay for 2 months in Thailand. If you have dual entry visa, then 2 months as a whole in 2 separate visits within 3 months.
You can either go through any of the visa agencies or go directly through the Thai embassy.
At immigration counter: No questions are asked, though sometimes they might ask you for hotel address and $500 USD or equivalent cash.
Option 2: Visa on Arrival (works for those who are on short trip)
1) Passport with 6 months validity
2) Return tickets within 15 days
3) Copy of your credit card or copy of 6 months bank statement
4) 2 Passport size photographs with white background
5) Currency of 500 USD or equivalent
6) Accommodation vouchers
Cost: 1000 Thai Baht
Validity: 15 days on a single entry
At immigration counter: Fill immigration form on aircraft. Stand in VOA queue. Fill VOA form. Take Token. Stand in VOA queue. Pay money. Get VOA. Stand in immigration queue and get stamping.
All this information is dated today – Nov 24, 2012 as I landed in Bangkok’s Don Mueng airport and got first hand information of the process.
Personally, I would recommend VOA if you are on a short trip and visa in advance if you are on a longer trip or planning multiple entries. VOA might take a bit more time and payment will have to done only in Thai Baht.
Thanks or this useful info.

ReplyDeleteI got VOA on land-border at Sadao, it was seamless. Just it took 10minutes. But I was asked to make 1500Bhat and not tendered any receipt for my payment. Not sure I was taken for a ride, for me if i would have applied in India it cost the same price around 2900Rs. So I was Ok. Just ensure you are at the designated land border between 09 00 AM - 09 00 PM, after this time you need to wait for the officer. I think officers works in two shifts per day. So stay careful if you arrive at the land border in middle of night and also a shared transportation.. I crossed to Thailand from Malaysia.
ReplyDelete1000 THB is the fee. at the land border, you get VOA only at 2 or 3 places and not at all borders. And again, the maximum you get is 14 days.
