Hi, I am looking to get a Thai tourist visa in Ho Chi Minh City next month (UK citizen) Does anyone have experience of this? I would like to know about their strictness on requirement such as ticket out of Thailand. Also just about how easy/mindfuckingly difficult it might be there? I am also open to using an agency if its possible and worth it. Thanks!

TLDR : Answer Summary

The discussion highlights the varying experiences of UK citizens applying for a Thai tourist visa in Ho Chi Minh City. Most commenters agree that a ticket out of Thailand is required, along with other details like flights into Thailand and, in some cases, a bank statement. Some found the process straightforward and without much hassle, while others recommend being prepared with all the specified documents as requirements can differ greatly.

They wanted all the details specified on the website when I went. Tickets, bank statement, the lot. I’d have it all, just in case. This was about 12 weeks ago.

I did it 4 weeks ago. Very easy. They ask for both flights into and out of Thailand. No financial evidence 🙏👍. K

My turnover was 1 day, and that gave me time to buy a ticket out of Thailand! I decided to get a return ticket to HCMC as that was the cheapest and was able to cash it in before I left Vietnam.

Thats awesome! I have another question mate... sorry! I plan to get there in time to hand in before noon on a Wednesday, do you think it will be ready for pickup on Friday? Normally a 2 day turnaround right?

Do you know if they were OK with the flight being past 60 days? bearing in mind I will just go to immigration and extend the visa an extra 30 days?
