Is it still possible to get a tourist visa for Thailand as a walk-in in Penang, Malaysia, or is the eVisa now mandatory?
Ian *********
im pretty sure the e visa start has been put back anyway ,found it .!!- The ETA was initially set for a December 2024 launch but has been delayed until between December 2024 and June 2025 due to the government's coordination efforts, as reported by the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Immigration Bureau on 23 September.
