Travel to Thailand

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

Thailand is one of the most sought-out travel destinations on the planet. The Kingdom of Thailand (once known as the Kingdom of Siam) is home to some of the most beautiful beaches and best cuisine on the planet. Many people traveling to Thailand wish to stay for an extended period. Sometimes this can be difficult due to visa restrictions imposed by Royal Thai Immigration.

There are a number of visas available to foreign nationals wishing to enter Thailand. That being said, the amount of time that the visa will be valid depends on many things. Firstly, a one year mutiple entry visa application is usually rejected at posts in Southeast Asia. A possible explanation for diplomatic missions near Thailand being reluctant to grant one year visas is probably due to the fact that applicants in the past abused the system. That being said, there are still a few posts around the world which will approve an application for a 1 year Thai visa.

If a foreign national wishes to enter the Kingdom of Thailand in order to conduct business, then the Thailand Business Visa is probably the best choice for this purpose. The business visa does not provide a right to work in the Kingdom of Thailand, but instead provides the right to apply for a Thai work permit. Employment permits are promulgated pursuant to approval by the Minstry of Labor in Thailand.

For those seeking to remain in the Kingdom of Thailand due to a family connection then the Thailand O Visa is probably the best option. The “O” indicated in this visa category signifies “other.” This travel document could be employed by those foreign nationals with Thai kin. It is something of a “miscellaneous” category. It may be possible to obtain a Thai work permit on this visa, the work permit application might be rejected due to the fact that the Thai Labor Ministry requires one obtain a Thailand business visa.
