Several times already did a single Thai visa in Moscow, sharing experience Many people write about how difficult it is and better make it in a country neighboring Thailand. But this is not quite the case. I have experience getting in Laos and in Malaysia. Damn not so bad as it is described on the internet. Getting a visa in Russia, at least cheaper than doing it in another country. Therefore my personal conclusion is: if the traveler lives in Moscow / St. Petersburg, has the ability to do all the paperwork then you have to do Thai visa in Russia.

Registration of a single entry visa in Moscow
I have a separate post about visa in St. Petersburg. All the nuances concerning Peter, in that post, and in This post does not exist. All questions, too, write there.
general information
Absolutely anyone can apply for a visa in Moscow person and from any city, personal presence or power of attorney is not are needed. Anyone can receive too, the main thing is to show receipt obtained when submitting documents.
You have decided to issue a tourist visa. First read My main post about visas to Thailand. In it, you will learn what types visas exist, what is the validity term of the visa, what is the corridor entry, why do you need a vizaran, how much you need to pay for overstay. Already At this stage, some of your questions will disappear.
Single entry visa is given for 60 days with the right to extend for another 30 days in place (how to extend). Total 90 days. There are multivisa, allowing to live a total of 180 days, and such a visa is also possible get in Moscow, but much more difficult and it is not very convenient.
Alternatively, you can enter the usual stamp for 30 days, and then go to Laos for a visa. This is a working scheme, but more expensive. and long in time. Only relevant to those who live far from Moscow and St. Petersburg. Separately, I wrote about the visa in Laos.
There is another way how to live in Tae for 4 months on a single visa, but I have not verified it. Visa is made in Moscow, but to enter Tai must stamp for 30 days, that is, do not fill in departure card visa number and ask the guards to put it stamp. And then go to the borderland in a month to activate the visa
Thai visa obtained in Moscow
Consular fee, term of registration
Consular fee – a one-time visa of $ 40, multivisa $ 200. Accepted ONLY in dollars and cash. Torn crumpled bills, even slightly worn bills will not accept. Bills should be no older than 2009. They say they started giving back, but I would better without putting brought.
Registration term – 3 working days, including days filing and issuing. But they can last even longer if there is something wrong with the documents. okay Just in case, keep this in mind and make a visa in advance. The entry corridor opens on the day of filing visa
How to fill out a migration card. She will give you in plane, regardless of whether you have a visa or you are going enter the stamp. Just in case, save yourself pictures on phone.
Consulate opening hours
Electronic queue – you can submit documents only through Record on the site. Out of season there is enough space and you can make an appointment in a couple of days. At the peak of visa processing (November-December) places fly quickly, therefore in advance attend to the visa issue. Otherwise, the alternative – a visa through travel agents.
Read about the work hours of the Thai consulate in Moscow. There in the same post map, map and photo of the embassy for the best recognition.
List of documents for visa in Moscow
– ALL submitted documents must be in ENGLISH / Thai languages, or made their notarized translation into English tongue. That is, a notarized copy in Russian + a notarially certified translation.
– It is better to make photocopies of documents, rather than print them to printer, as they must be STRICTLY in the middle of A4 paper, and size as originals.
- In case the electronic record on the site works and you go through it, then printed confirmation of your record. Record for a certain day / time, for each passport – one record
- Passport with a validity of at least 6 months at the time application submission + photocopy of the main page. If you not a citizen of Russia, but you need to show the documents to your right stay in Russia: visa, residence permit.
- Filled visa application form. It can be filled on the site where an electronic queue is being made, or skip this step, and the questionnaire fill in the usual pdf file. The fact is that the site may fail and it does not save the draft. Here you have the questionnaire template as a file, it from the site. Application for a visa is filled in English. Hand-filled questionnaires are not accepted.
- 1 photo is strictly 4×6, if submitted through the visa application center, through the consulate is not so important. Photos will need to stick on questionnaire.
- Original bank statement with wet stamp (not facsimile, as Tinkoff sends by default), currency Help is not important. Everywhere it says that the bill should be $ 700 per per person or $ 1,500 per family, but in fact you need 50-60 thousand rubles for man minimum !. The statement is valid for a month. Ask in the bank statement in English immediately, so as not to translate. Passport details in the statement are optional, but the last name must be exactly as in passport.
- Certificate of employment or docks on the PI (translated into English) sort of like optional. But I would do if there is such opportunity, then you will be less carping. But if help No, in the Occupation column, you need to write “freelancer” or The “programmer” does not like disabled people. Workers write a post. Students or retirees can show retirement and student. Translation into English pension / student is better to do, but when with this.
- Sponsor letter from the sponsor in English (download). Sponsorship letter is written by hand or on a computer, only the signature need to put by hand. Written for those who do not have their own personal Bank statements. The original is attached to this letter. statements of the sponsor and a copy of his passport (you are the same number zagrana specify in the sponsorship letter). Be sure to specify degree of relationship in the letter. If the sponsor is traveling with you, then the original Extracts he puts in his batch of documents, and you put in your copy of statement. Alternatively, you can take a few in the bank at once. original statements for each server. Marriage certificate not need to.
- Paid flights to Thailand and back to Russia or third country (again you can), completely in English (without Russian). Try to print such ones by switching to the site. airline to english. I advise to buy Aviasales.ru and Skyscanner.ru, I use it myself. The return ticket must not be more than 90 days after arrival. But! Can provide return ticket and more than 90 days, but then you need provide more and tickets for intermediate departure / entry from Thailand If you are flying a charter, they usually issue electronic tickets a couple of days before departure, will have to beg for travel agencies payment receipt, as a ticket voucher is not a rental. If not want to buy a return ticket, you can buy a return ticket for return fare (for example, Economy Premium FLEX from Aeroflot), to return it immediately after making a visa. Tickets from AirAsia and they will not be able to break through other low-cost carriers, so immediately a printout from the bank with this operation, as confirmation that you are This ticket is really bought. In electronic tickets can not being your passport data is fine.
- Consular fee of $ 40 for each visa. Only bills from 2009 and younger, only new ones will not take even the crumpled ones.
- Confirmation of residence. This may be a canceled hotel reservation. from Booking (you will have to do several of them, since it’s impossible to do it in times more than 30 days). You can show a rental agreement for a house, but then you also need a copy of the channot (property certificate), which is not every owner will want to give.
Bucks better to buy in advance, but in extreme cases there is Sberbank, what is located 5 minutes from the embassy (Garden Ring switch). You can also go to the 1st Koptelsky lane (next after Bolshaya Spasskaya street in the direction of the metro), there is Bystrobank, in ATM can withdraw money and exchange them at the bank dollars. Only you can not make it, and buy bucks, and a visa to file.
List of documents for a Thai visa in Moscow
Documents for a child on a Thai visa
This section is for those who decide to make a visa for a child. I supplement the post, and then ask in the comments. Per child the same set of documents as for an adult, plus several documents. And also translations are needed.
And also just in case I will write here if you will drive into Thailand stamped (not on visa), then birth certificate child’s transfer, as well as permission to leave the second parent, you do not need.
- A separate application form is filled out for the child in the English language, if him his passport. And a separate entry in the electronic the queue.

- Sponsorship letter in English from the sponsor.
- 1 photo 4×6.
- Birth certificate + notarized and translated copy.
- Help from the school (if the child is of school age) that he is released. As I understand it, this is something like an analogue of help with work for an adult. I don’t know if I can say that I’m not studying or at home education. Logically possible, because it will not no papers.
- Permission from the second parent to leave (translated and notarized) and a copy of the first page of his zagran a passport if his passport is not served on a visa in the same set documents. For each child, their permission and their translation.
- If the child’s birth certificate has a different last name moms / dads, you still need a document (also translated and certified) from the registrar of the last name change. In English.

Example of filling in the questionnaire
In what order to put the documents
It’s better to do that because they quibble. Order of documents invested in the passport, a set for each person. Documents all checked immediately upon submission.
– Consular fee of $ 40. – Listing of the invitation (registration) – Questionnaire with pasted photo – Copy of the first page of the foreign Passports – Bank Help or Sponsorship Documents – Help with work (if indicated that you work) – E-ticket – Housing reservation
To do a visa in Moscow or in Laos / Malaysia
Let’s calculate how much a visa is issued in Moscow with person, if you live in Moscow or nearby. Consular fee 40 USD is not taken into account, it is always there and the same everywhere.
– 4 trips by metro – 200 rubles – Fare to Moscow
Total it turns out that a single entry visa in Moscow will cost quite a bit, and the cost increases with your distance from Moscow
If you do a visa in Laos, then, first, you have to spend two days on the trip (and time = money), secondly, the cost will be: Overnight at the hotel 500-1000 baht, and transfer by bus back and forth 1500-2000 baht (more expensive by plane), that is, somewhere 3000-5000 baht depending on the degree of comfort which you need on this trip.
In my opinion, despite the additional documents that Moscow requires a visa here to make it somewhat easier / cheaper, if you are a resident of Moscow or region.
P.S. Simple questions have become frequent. Before asking read carefully the entire post, in it 99% of the answers to your questions If the answer is in the post, I will not answer it in comments, respect my time, read the post.
