1. What is a Thailand Tourist Visa?

A Thailand Tourist Visa (TR) allows you to stay in Thailand for up to 60 days, with a possible 30-day extension. It can be obtained from a Thai Embassy or Consulate in your home country, or — in some cases — via e-Visa.

• Completed visa application form
• Passport-size photo (4x6 cm)
• Proof of financial means (bank statement or cash)

• Proof of accommodation (hotel booking or Airbnb)

4. Step-by-Step Application Process

1. Visit the Thai Embassy or Consulate in your home country
2. Submit your documents and application form
3. Pay the visa fee (~60 USD in most cases)
4. Wait 3–5 business days for processing
