Er kan natuurlijk altijd verandering optreden!!??

[Khon Neua]

klopt ik dacht altijd dat de visa exempt entry een VOA was maar dus niet .

VOA Visa on Arrival is voor nederlanders 30 dagen !

Bedoeld wordt een visa exempt entry, wat heel wat anders is dan een visa on arrival. een visa on arrival is alleen beschikbaar voor onderdanen van bepaalde landen en heeft slechts een geldigheid van 15 dagen.

Omdat je langer dan 30 dagen gaat heb je officieel een visum nodig. De Thaise immigratie controleert dit echter zelden. Vliegmaatschappijen controleren dit echter vaak wel en als ze iemand zonder visum meenemen zijn ze verplicht je terug te vervoeren naar Nederland en moeten ze bovendien een boete betalen. Je loopt dus kans dat je niet verder dan Schiphol komt als je geen visum hebt. Neem dus een visum voor alle zekerheid.

Vlieg je met China Airlines, dan kun je een verklaring ondertekenen dat mocht je door de Thaise immigratie geweigerd worden je alle kosten aan China airlines zal vergoeden (5000 Euro voor de boete).
Zoals gezegd is de kans dat je door de Thaise immigratie zal worden teruggestuurd klein.

Je hebt een visa on arrival en een visa exempt entry, welke je hier door elkaar haalt. Een visa on arrival is slechts beschikbaar voor onderdanen van een bepaald aantal landen en geeft recht op een verblijf van 15 dagen. Nederlanders kunnen en hoeven hier geen gebruik van te maken. Zij kunnen gebruik maken van een visa exempt entry voor maximaal 30 dagen.
