Hello! Anyone applied for Thai e-visa these days? My payment isn't going through, no matter what card I use. Anyone else faced the same issue?

TLDR : Answer Summary
Many users are experiencing payment issues when applying for the Thai e-visa, as noted in a recent post. Common solutions include using alternative payment methods such as PayPal, and contacting banks to authorize charges if payment fails due to security checks like Verified by Visa or Mastercard. Additionally, a user reported that calling the bank resolved their issue. There was also an inquiry about the duration of the visa approval process, indicating further concerns about timely processing.

Yes, the Verified by Visa or Mastercard checks the billing address verses the account information, the E Visa system does not provide the Billing Info so it will fail. Call the credit card fraud department and they will authorize the charge.

I was in USA and I called my credit card company, but they said it was being stop by Bangkok Bank in Hong Kong. The embassy uses BKK Bank. Try calling the bank.
