Whether you are eligible for a Thailand eVisa, a regular visa, or visa-free travel, Thailand offers streamlined options to match your journey. Please verify your country’s status, collect the necessary documents, and begin your tropical escape today.
In some cases, it is possible to extend your Thai eVisa while you are in the country. Visit the Thai embassy or consulate for comprehensive details on the extension procedure.
To keep track of the status of your eVisa application, use the Thailand eVisa Status Check tool. For a status check, enter your passport number and order ID.
Overstaying your eVisa in Thailand is a serious offence. Penalties include fines, detention, and possible blacklisting from re-entering Thailand for a specific period. It's crucial to extend your eVisa or depart before its expiration.
An arrival stamp is an ink mark in your passport by immigration officials upon entry, indicating your arrival. A visa is a sticker or electronic authorisation obtained in advance, which then facilitates the arrival stamp process upon entry.
