Answer 1

It means that to those that it applies, no advance arrangements are necessary to procure an entry visa - it can be had upon arrival at the border/airport/seaport immigration office.  Generally the passport must be valid for 6-months from the date of entry into the country.

India is one of 14 countries whose citizens are allowed to apply for visas upon arrival; stay must not exceed 15 days:

         - The applicant must possess instrument of means of living expenses 10,000 Baht per person and 20,000 Baht per family accordingly.

         - The applicant must produce instrument of means of transport (full paid ticket) which is usable within 15 days since the date of entry.

         - Visa on arrival is provided at 23 designated international checkpoints and applicants should produce the application form to which his/her recent photograph (2 1/4 inches)  is attached. The application fee is 300 Baht.

         - Visitors who enter the Kingdom with Visa on Arrival generally cannot file an application for extension of stay except in special cases...
