We are planning a trip to Thailand and are wondering if there's a way of avoiding a trip to the Thai embassy in Madrid to get a 60 day visa ( we want to stay longer than the 30 days given on arrival in Thailand with no visa). Does anyone know of a reliable service from the Costa Blanca using couriers ??

It's probably six and two threes but you might be able to get it done at the consulate if a day in Barcelona is any more appealing than Madrid.

I think you can apply when you are there but just get the 30 days on arrival..thats what we did but that was a few years ago.

maybe they'll know over in the Thai forum?

Thanks for the suggestion. It's at least 2 days because you have to leave it then pick it up the next day.

I have already posted on there about the 30 day on arrival visa and flight booking required etc. I posted on here in the hope that someone had obtained a visa without a trip to Madrid (or Barcelona)

You can get it done by post to the Cardiff Thai consulate if you want to risk your passport to the Spanish and British postal systems

Thanks for the information but I don't think so!
