So I called the Thai consulate in Boston (Thailand Consulate 41 Union St. Boston, MA 02108 617-720-8424) and learned that I can get three 60 day visas — ie. 6 months worth of visas. For FREE! The have waived the fees for tourist visas for the time being. Gotta love a country that wants tourists. They were so lovely when I went in and I got 6 months worth of visas in 20 minutes, despite the fact that I neglected to fill out applications in advance or bring passport pics! Love them!
By contrast, Russia wants $131 for 4-20 day turnaround for a 3 month single-entry, business visa. Or $250 for 3 days.
Here’s China’s visa fee schedule — yup that’s right $130 even if you are going for a 10 day vacation:
