Visa Required to visit Thailand?
By Rob | September 14, 2006
In order to visit Thailand for MinistryNet: Bangkok 2007 you will certainly need your passport! You may need a Visa also.
For many visitors staying less than 30 days, Thailand doesn’t require a Visa. However, you may be from a country that Thailand requires a Visa no matter how long you visit. To find out, please consult this Thailand Visa requirement list and check with your local Embassy.

Obtaining a visa can be a long process, and often there is a lengthy first step; obtaining a letter of invitation from the host country. Participants should begin checking NOW to see if they need a visa for Thailand, and they should allow a minimum of 60 days to obtain one. It may take less time than that, but 60 days is not unusual to complete a letter of invitation and then a visa application.
Getting all participants their required visas for MinistryNet: Budapest 2005 was one of the biggest hurdles and stories of that event!
Remember Austin? He took a 7-day epic journey through three different countries to obtain his. Oumar traveled through three as well.
