Where to apply
Applicants can choose to apply for a Thai visa either through the official Thailand e-visa website or by submitting a paper application to the relevant Thai consulate, embassy, or visa application center (VAC).
Thailand Visa Processing Time
Thai visa applications submitted in person typically have a processing time of 3 to 5 business days. For applications sent in by mail, the processing time is also 3 to 5 business days, not including mailing time. However, in certain cases, the processing time may be longer than the usual time frame.
For approved visa applications:
After the approval of an e-visa application, it is important for the applicant to print a physical copy of the visa and save an electronic copy to a mobile device or tablet. This is because the visa needs to be presented to the officer at Border Control. It is crucial to review the information on the visa and confirm that it matches the details on the passport.
