Tourist Visa
Journey in Thailand – procedure & formalities
When coming to Thailand, you must apply for a visa at a Thai embassy or consulate located in your home country.
The duration of the transaction does not exceed 48 hours. Ensure that you own all the required documents when you apply for a visa; the list is available on the official websites of embassies and consulates. Beware that conditions and terms vary constantly from one establishment to another. Indeed, the information we update may change.
