TLDR : Answer Summary

A family of four from Namibia asked if they could apply for a Visa on Arrival since their tourist visas had not yet arrived, and their flights were approaching. Responses indicated that they could obtain a Visa on Arrival for 2,000 baht each, allowing a 15-day stay. Additionally, since they applied for tourist visas, they might be able to activate those later if needed.

Are you travelling on Namibian passports?

As you will be able to prove that you applied for your tourist visa while you were present and also left from Namibia, you’ll probably be able to do a border bounce and activate your tourist visa when you receive it also if you need/want more time as well.

You can indeed get a visa on arrival. It will cost 2,000 baht each and you’ll get stamped in for 15 days.
