Foreign Affairs Minister Maris Sangiampong said the e-Visa system would be available across 94 Royal Thai Embassies and Consulates-General worldwide starting January 1, 2025.
He said the system is a significant upgrade to Thailand’s visa processing framework, offering a more modern and efficient solution.
With the e-Visa system, applicants can apply online for various visa types, including tourist, work, business, study, and media or film crew visas.
“This initiative aligns with the government’s policy to modernise the country’s visa framework. It aims to facilitate various types of visitors, revitalise Thailand’s global image, and boost international confidence.
At present, Thailand offers a 60-day visa exemption for travellers from 93 countries, including Malaysia, while visa-on-arrival facilities are available for nationals of 31 countries and territories.
“Only individuals intending to stay for purposes such as work, study, or business beyond the current visa exemption or visa-on-arrival arrangements will need to apply through the e-Visa system,” he explained.
As of December 8, Thailand has welcomed 32.7 million international tourists, generating approximately 1.54 trillion baht in tourism revenue, according to the Ministry of Tourism and Sports.
