Thai e-visa system expanded, upgraded
Thai e-visa system has expanded and been upgraded so tourists from around the world will soon be able to apply for Thai visas more easily.
The Foreign Ministry has been tasked with refining the e-visa system so that it can handle the very large number of tourists who want to use it.
The e-visa system allows foreign nationals to submit visa applications and copies of passports online instead of having to visit a Thai embassy or consular office in their country. Once their applications are approved, they receive an electronic visa stamp that they can print out to show to their airlines and immigration officials upon arrival.
