2hr connection in BKK and VoA is needed..
Hi Folks,
Couple of friends arriving at 6am at BKK.. then have connecitng flight on same airline ( TG) to Krabi at 8am.. the whole trip on same itinerary ..
They will be requiring VoA..
I guess they can get the VoA within 1 hr right ? I have instructed them to use the priority channel by paying thb 200 extra.. any other suggestions ?

By VoA...do you mean Visa on Arrival?
Not really sure if anyone can answer without knowing some more details. What passport will they be entering Thailand with?
Also, I would strongly recommend checking (or at least confirming) with government site when it comes to any questions about entry requirements / Visa needs.
FlyerTalk can point you in the right direction but it would be up to you to confirm the correct info.

We are aware that they will need a VoA.. Apologies for making the initial post feel like its a question..Indian citizens..
My question was more on since they would need VoA , is this short transit feasible.. any time saving suggestions other than asking them to take the priority channel by paying THB 200 extra ?

OK. Thanks for clarifying.
I am sorry but I do not have any experience with Visa on Arrival at BKK.
Hopefully someone with some experience will post soon.

Judging by the huge scrums that I see at VoA and minding that they have to clear immigration, good luck in an hour with all that.
Fast Track service might help. At least after the visa it is pretty quick at immigration.
I think for VoA they just say they will hang around while the VoA applicant suffers through that process then take them to Fast Track after that.
