Hi guys…just want to confirm, now all visas be it tourist/business/study/non-o etc, are all e-visa??

We dont have to go to the Embassies to bring passport or any documents or pick up the visa when approve???? 😳

Answer summary

The conversation confirms that most Thai visas, including tourist, business, study, and non-O visas, can now be processed online as e-visas. However, there are exceptions where some consulates require in-person visits for payment or interviews. It's also crucial to be physically present in the country where the visa application is submitted until approval or rejection is confirmed.

The only THREE embassies I know of that still require an in person visit are Vientiane & Savannakhet in Lao and Yangon in Burma. You have to GO to those consulates to pay in person after you file the online eVisa application

All the rest have the online application and pay portal meaning you don't go to the consulate

You DO have to be in the country of the thai consulate you're applying at and you do have to remain in that country until the visa is approved or rejected before you come back

you can't apply without your passport. Embassies require you to be in the country of the embassy you apply through and can ask for entry stamps, copies of all pages of your passport and so on. They can also ask you in for interview where you would need to show the passport
