Do the Details Match?

One of the most useful checks is to compare the application against the supporting documents.

Passport Details

The applicant's name, passport number, nationality and dates should match the passport.

Travel Dates

Arrival and departure details should remain consistent across the application and travel bookings.

Accommodation

The accommodation entered in the form should match the hotel booking, host details or other submitted proof.

Travel Purpose

The selected purpose should correctly describe what the applicant plans to do in Thailand.

What Happens After Submission?

Once the applciation is submitted and the visa fee is paid, it moves to the processing step.

The applicant should continue monitoring the registered email address because the embassy or consulate may request additional documents, clarification or other information before reaching a decision.

Applicants should:

Applicants having any query can contact Thailand visa support at anytime via email or live chat.
