I called Thai Consulate to inquire abuot requirements for tourist vias for Nepali nationl with US Green Card. They said needing bio data, including additional $75 dollars (to mail the documents to Thailand). That was quite weird. Has anyone in the Sajha been told like that? It also asked for employment verification letter. Looked like too stringent requirements, no?

Would be interested in hearing of your experienves with Thai visitor visa application...

Thanks, Jyapoo

Hi. Am curious what consulate you applied at. On F-1 and H1B visas I've gotten Thai visas without problem in KTM, NYC and Boston. The only fee was $20/entry for a transit visa, $25/entry for a tourist visa. Tourist visas allow you to stay 2 months, transit visas allow 1 month. For a tourist visa you need a return ticket, for a transit visa an onward ticket. You might want to call a different Thai consulate and see if you get a different answer. Requirements are not always consistent. For example according to the website the NYC consulate covers Massachusetts, but I have often gotten my Thai visa at the Thai consulate in Boston. It might also be that the person you called was confused about your status....
