Thailand e-Visa Online Application

What is the Thailand e-Visa?

The Thailand e-Visa is an electronic visa that allows travelers to enter Thailand for various purposes, such as tourism, leisure, transit, and more.

Thanks to the online system, it's possible to submit applications and receive approved visas electronically.

Travelers don't need to do it all alone, as at Passporta, we can help them with the visa formalities and entry requirements.

To obtain an online visa to Thailand, it's essential to prepare the required documents, complete the application form, and cover the processing fee.

Once it's issued, the Thai e-Visa permits a 60-day stay in Thailand.

Depending on the travel plans, applicants will receive a single-entry visa (valid for 90 days) or a multiple-entry permit (issued for 180 days).

Important Update

The Thai authorities have introduced the Digital Arrival Card scheme. All travelers need to complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) before their entry into the country.

It is essential to note that the document is not a visa to Thailand.

If you are a national of a non-exempt country, you will need to apply for both a visa and a TDAC.

Common Visa Rejection Reasons

Thai visa applications can be rejected for various reasons, but many are easily avoidable if you complete the application carefully.

A frequent issue leading to an electronic visa denial is incomplete or inaccurate information on the application form. Always double-check your answers and make sure they match your passport details.

Applicants sometimes submit documents of bad quality (blurred, with unreadable texts), which leads to a rejected application. It's best to save the files as PDFs and check if they are legible.

FAQs

• Do I need a Thailand e-Visa?

  You can easily access this information by selecting your nationality in our eligibility checker available at the top of the website.

• Can I work in Thailand with an electronic visa?

  Tourist visas don't allow employment in Thailand – to work abroad, you need a suitable permit (work visa, business visa).

• How long does it take to process a Thailand e-Visa?

  Thailand e-Visa gets processed within around 10 business days (weekends are not included) and may take up to 4 weeks. Please make sure to submit your application well in advance of your planned travel date.

• How will I receive my e-Visa after approval?

• My application status shows "Finished" – where is my e-Visa?

  Once your application status shows "Finished", the e-Visa will be sent to your email address as a PDF attachment. Please check your inbox. Remember to check your SPAM or junk folder as well.

• I was asked to submit additional documents – why?

  In some cases, the Thailand Immigration Office may request additional documents to verify your application. If this happens, please provide the requested documents as soon as possible. These may include: proof of accommodation in Thailand for the entire stay (with your name visible), a recent bank statement showing sufficient funds, an employment letter or company registration certificate, confirmed flight tickets showing departure from and return to your country of residence, a copy of your personal ID, a cover letter with your travel itinerary, full passport pages, police clearance, or proof of previous travel history.

• I need to provide a letter of consent to change my visa from multiple entry to single entry. What does this mean?

  The immigration office may sometimes request a letter of consent to change the visa type if they identify an issue with your application. In such situations, Thailand may only issue a single-entry visa instead of a multiple-entry visa. If this happens, the difference in the visa fee cannot be refunded. To continue processing your application, you must provide written consent confirming that you agree to change the visa type to single entry.

• What should I do if my e-Visa has been rejected?

  Unfortunately, the Immigration Office has determined that you do not meet the requirements for the Vietnamese e-Visa. In this case, you should contact the nearest embassy or consulate of Vietnam to apply for a traditional visa.

• I applied on the government website, but my application was rejected. Can I apply again through you?

  If your application has been rejected by the Immigration Office of Thailand, we cannot guarantee that a new application submitted through our platform will be approved. We strongly recommend contacting the nearest Thai embassy or consulate to explore alternative visa options.
