TOURIST VISA FEE – Temporary Concession

The Thailand Ministry of Foreign Affairs has today decided to re-introduce the waiving of the £28 fee for the Tourist Visa with Single Entry for the period 25 June 2009 to 04 March 2010. This concession does not apply to any other visas. During this period of 25 June 2009 to 04 March 2010 there will be an administration charge of £15 for the issue of the Tourist Visa with Single Entry.

The Tourist Visa with Single Entry allows a single stay in Thailand for a maximum of 60 days or 30 days (see below) from date of entry. Please note that the day you enter is counted as day one. If you exit Thailand at any time during the 60 or 30 days you will loose all the remaining days and you may not be able to re-enter Thailand without another visa. If you think this may apply to you, you should consider applying for a Tourist Visa with Two Entries (fee £56) or a Tourist Visa with Three Entries (fee £84). If you wish to spend more time in Thailand or wish to have a visa without restriction on the number of entries you may be able to apply for the Non-Immigrant Visa with Multiple Entries (fee £100) which is valid for one year.

Pity they didn't go the extra mile and waive the administration charge of £15 though

[Bagel]

Haha so they waive the visa fee but introduce an administration fee instead? Good one. £15 instead of £28. Oh well £13 saved is better than nothing.

[billycotton]

Yes it is a saving ,I can live with £15 and dont forget you can always cross the border and get another  month added on.

A visa run from Pattaya is going to cost you B2,000+ and you will only get another 15 days.

dont leave the country to get a 30 day extension on a 60 day tourist visa
just go to any immigration office and apply for an extension.

if you left the country your visa would be finished unless it were a double entry
which they are not offering in this promotion, i think.

Surely you don't need a visa at all if you time the cambodia trip right - 30 days on arrival free at airports (for most countries), 15 at land borders.

[Goldfishpie]

A lot of news kicking around that this will force consulates to close as they will have no income.

[shirker]

Pretty sure all Tourist (single/multi, 30/60 day) Visas are free in Australia.

[AjarnBill]

I was in Vientiane a couple of weeks ago doing the visa deal. The dual entry tourist visa is also free. That is what most of the westerners were getting.
