How to do Thai Tourist VISA in Guangzhou (China)

Application for Thai tourist visa in Guangzhou seems to be not so easy, but it was very simple. In compare with Laos or Malaysia doing Thai visa in China are better. It has only one minus – you need to go or to be in China. If you have money limit or only want to do a visa run, Laos will be better. If you already in Guangzhou or going to, and want to do Thai tourist visa in China, you will find this information useful.

Thai Consulate in Guangzhou

First, look at the Documents Required on The Royal Thai Consulate in Guangzhou. The requirement for passport, application form and photo for Thai visa are same as in others countries.

Next point is working certificate (in English) – they do not ask it, if you have Chinese Business Visa (M). You can apply for visa without any documents from China, but they can ask for police registration form in China. They do not ask to do a copy of your Chinese visa, do not ask about what you doing in China, seems they do not care about this. Only if you are not from short list of countries (please check information carefully on the site of the embassy). If your country in the list – you will need Foreigner Resident permit in China and Foreigner working permit in China (and more copies) for getting Thai tourist visa in China.

You will be asked for the round-trip air tickets, if you do not have, you will not get Thai visa. When was a double entry tourist visa in Thailand, they asked all four tickets (now you can’t do double tourist visa to Thailand, only one entry).

Financial documents in any form, you no need official bank statement for tourist visa to Thailand (print from your internet Bank will be ok), but it must be on paper, so print it before going. Also you will need two copies of the passport, not one, you need 2 copies of your passport (page with photograph).

Rest applying same as in others Consulates of Thailand: take a number – wait – apply for visa – wait – pay and collect your Thai visa.

Note!

• You can collect your visa only on second day (not on next day).
• If you do not have all copies you can do it in the shop, near the Thai Consulate in Guangzhou, just ask the guard to show.
• If you have financial document for one person, but you applying for family, you can be asked for marriage certificate.
• The Royal Thai Consulate in Guangzhou located in so empty place, you can find nothing (if you come before opening, you can’t find where to sit). Take umbrella – you will need it in any case (sun/rain) if you come early. If you will have time, you can walk to Canton Tower, it is not too far from The Royal Thai Consulate in Guangzhou. If you use taxi before going – be sure, that taxi driver knows where to go.
