No, this is visa UPON arrival.
If you don’t want to wait for 30 minutes to 1 hour waiting time, you can apply for tourist visa at the Thai embassy in your home country before flying to Thailand.

Hello!
Is it possible to apply for a Single Entry Tourist Visa after arrival inside Thailand? I’m not able to apply in my homecountry.
Thank you!
Dear Mikhail,
The Single Entry Tourist Visa can only be issued at the Thai Embassy outside Thailand. You cannot get it inside Thailand. What you can get inside Thailand is only the 30 days extension.
Thank you.

Hello,
I am preparing to extend my stay in the Kingdom, as requested by the immigration officer at Nakhon Si Thammarat, to prepare 3 sets of my travel documents, along with my landlady who is to provide documents of her homestay where I currently stay.
The hiccup is the delay in the embassy letter from the Malaysian Consulate, Bangkok which I requested on Fri, 18th Sept. Due to technical fault, the officer in charge informed me that he could not trace my e-mail when i called today to follow up.
Your helpful advice is most appreciated, thank you.
James
Dear James,
I believe that your extension will solely based on the embassy letter, without a printed copt of this letter, you may not be able to get the extension. I recommend that you contact the local immigration office in your province to check if they are able to give you the “under consideration” stamp and you can present the letter when you pick up the remaining of the 30 days extension.
I hope they will be lenient regarding this matter.
Thank you.
Hi
I have an OA visa ( I’m from Ireland) and it’s up end of August . I have a few questions
1. Do I need to leave Thailand to get my visa renewed?
2. Do I need insurance ?
3. I have the funds in bank . That is enough to get my visa?
4. Although I’m in thailand do I still need police check? And medical certificate
5. Proof of where I’m living?
I then just go to immigration and all is done? Or something else.
So sorry for all the questions . Just a bit confused
Thanks
Dear Imelda,
Please see my comments below:
1. If your Non Immigrant OA visa was previously issued in Ireland or UK, you do not necessarily need to leave Thailand to renew it. You are able to extend it for another year.
2. Yes, health insurance is needed to extend it for 1 year at your local immigration office.
3. 800,000 THB in a Thai account is needed to extend for 1 year.
4. Police Check and medical check may not be required.
5. Yes, copy of the lease or contract is needed.
You will do the extension at Samui Immigration Office.
Thank you.

I want go to holiday in Thailand .
And I have Travel document from Netherlands (Reisdocument for refuge) , Do I need visa for Thailand??
At this moment, there is still a ban on international passenger flights. There is no timeline yet to lift the ban, but when it happens, you will need a proper Thai visa, certificate or entry and a fit to fly certificate from Thai embassy. Upon arrival in Thailand, must then do a 14-day mandatory quarantine on arrival at the government facility.
Is there currently a fee for a visa on arrival for someone with Indian citizenship? If so, is the fee still 2000 Baht that must be paid in cash?
The visa on arrival has been canceled. Therefore there is no fee at the airport. You need to contact and apply for a Thai visa at the Thai embassy or consulate in India. You will be asked to pay for the visa fee and require the usual visa application documents and the additional documents such as the COVID-19 health certificate and health insurance.
Hi Team,

Hello, my wife and I retired in Thailand four years ago, and have a have a Thailand retirement visa, which we renew every year. During Covid we were in Canada. With the Thai border closed to internationally flights, we are unable to return to Thailand to renew our retirement visa which expires August 18. As we want to continue our retirement life in Thailand, what is the policy concerning reirement visa holders who are unable to renew their retirement visas because the border is closed to to international flights? Thank you.
Dear Charles,
At the moment, the government has not issued any guideline for the visa holders whose visas have expired outside Thailand. However, it is safe to assume that you will have to redo the process in getting your retirement visa. It would mean that you have to get the 90-day non immigrant O visa at the Thai Embassy in Canada and then you travel to Thailand and convert it to a retirement visa.
Thank you.
