What's the best place to get a E visa, that you don't have to pay
Answer summary
The inquiry discusses obtaining a visa for Thailand without fees. Most commenters clarify that while many countries do not require a visa for short stays (visa exemption), any necessary visa typically incurs a cost. The TDAC, which is a free arrival card, is mentioned but is not an actual visa. Several commenters suggest checking embassy resources for affordable visa options.

If you can't even afford the fees, I suggest you stay put in your country.

What sort of visa do you want? Embassies charge for visas. You can't apply without paying for the visa you want.

Free visa? That’s called a visa exemption.

If you need a visa you will have to pay. Cheapest is look at the Thai embassy website for your country.

your visa exempt, no visa required for stays up to 60 days, you will have to fill out online the TDAC, Thailand digital arrival card, Thailand embassy website is where to do it, don't be fooled by sites that charge as it's free, must be done from 3 days before you arrive in Thailand

yes, but bear in mind that it's can be time consuming, especially during high season, which has just begun. Much better to do it prior to arrival
