enter Thailand. Generally, the validity of a visa is 3 months, but in some
cases, 6 months or 1 year visas can be issued. The validity of a visa is
granted by the Embassy of Thailand in Washington DC and is shown in the
visa. The period of stay depends on the type of visa and is granted by an
immigration officer upon arrival at the port of entry. For example, the
period of stay for a transit visa does not exceed 30 days, for a tourist
visa does not exceed 60 days and for a non-immigrant visa does not exceed
90 days for the arrival date. Travellers who wish to stay longer than such
period may apply for extension of stay at Offices of the Immigration Bureau
