What should I do if my payment for a Thai tourist e-Visa using a Visa card keeps failing?

Question

Payment
I’m trying to pay the fee for my Thai tourist e-Visa using a Visa card, but the payment keeps failing. I’ve tried two different Visa cards, but neither has worked.

Has anyone experienced the same issue? What should I do next? Should I wait and try again, or contact the Thai Consulate? They are not responding.

I’d really appreciate any advice or suggestions. Thank you!

You should phone the Visa card company for their advice. I also heard there was some issues with card uses in Australia because something to do with the Government ban on the % surcharges??

The way I used a Visa card to purchase an Esim and account for my mobile with AIS in Australia, was with a Revulot account Visa card, where Aus$ were already converted to thb in the app at the best rate with no fees. This should work with an e-visa payment as well and will be like a tap and go debit card that worked at [mention redacted] and other stores and bars.

Some banks have an option to do payments / purchases only for approved countries by you (can be done in revolut app for revolut, as example). It's made to avoid fraud / money stealing. Check if this could be an issue with your bank (I assume both cards you tried to use are frome same bank).

Refresh and use a different browser. Maybe you are using a VPN so you could try not using it for the transaction
