I'm going to Ubon Ratchathani for a few days, as I still need to get the Thai visa from Visa on arrival – I'm just wondering is there any such service at the airport in Ubon, or I still need to transfer in Bangkok first, get the visa there (i know there's a visa on arrival counter at the airport there).
p.s: I'm on a trip now, so cant get the visa from the thai consulate from the country i live.
any port of entry in Thailand has visa on arrival …. 30 days.
Ubon Ratchathani is not an international airport. You will need to get your visa on arrival when you land in Bangkok.
If you fly into UR on an international flight, which I sort of doubt, there will be customs and immigration; then you get the visa. Otherwise the airport would not have an immigration officer.
Most likely you'll fly into BKK, and get your automatic visa there.
First of all to be pedantic. You don't get e visa on arrival. What you get is a stamp in your passport giving you 30 days visa free, and that will happen in Bangkok, Suvanaphum airport, And then as far as I know this still applies, you will then have to get transport to the domestic airport at Don Muang ( The old international airport ) to fly to Ubon
Yes you probably fly into Bangkok.
What you need to know though is that there is no such thing as a visa on arrival (it's an improper term). It is a visa exemption. You can only obtain a visa outside Thailand's borders.
This is important if you stay or plan on staying more than 30 days.
Also the 30 day rule has changed last year. If you fly to Thailand you will still get your 30 days but if you enter Thailand overland you will only be granted 15 days.
If you plan on staying longer than 30 days, get a visa in the country you are in now. Best would have been your home country but get a tourist visa, double or triple entry in the country where you are at if they have a Thai embassy.
