Going on vacation on a whim, landing a job contract with a large company, etc.: so many reasons can force you to travel urgently to a given destination. For Thailand, it's a bit complicated when it comes to emergency travel.<\/p>\n
Can you get an emergency visa for Thailand?<\/h2>\n
Are you forced to go to Thailand immediately? I have to tell you right away: it is impossible to obtain a visa urgently<\/strong>. Moreover, the Thai embassy recommends that travelers apply for a visa 3 months before the date of arrival in Thailand<\/strong>. It is even requested to do it one month before D-Day at the latest. What is certain therefore is that it is impossible to obtain a visa on the day of your application for example, and whatever the reason.<\/p>\n
When should you submit your visa application?<\/h2>\n
As we have just mentioned, it is recommended to make your request, at the latest, one month before the date of your arrival in the country. This is for administrative reasons. Indeed, the Thai authorities wish to reduce consular overload.<\/p>\n
It is advisable, on the other hand, avoid filing your application on weekends and public holidays<\/strong>. The sooner you start, the better it will be for you. Additionally, technically speaking, the Thai embassy only accepts visa applications within 3 months prior to your arrival in the kingdom.<\/p>\n
How to get a visa for Thailand?<\/h2>\n
It would therefore be best to submit your visa application in advance, respecting the legal deadlines. Before proceeding with this, you need to prepare a package of documents:<\/p>\n
\n
A color ID photo<\/li>\n
A scan of your passport. The latter must be valid at least 6 months before the date of your arrival in Thailand<\/li>\n
A photo of you with your passport next to your face<\/li>\n
A pay slip at least 30 days old<\/li>\n
A bank statement that shows a credit balance of 1,500 euros or more<\/li>\n
Proof of address<\/li>\n
A copy of your passport and stamps relating to your previous trips to Thailand<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
