Anyone having trouble paying for the Thai E-Visa? I am ready to submit, when I try to pay, I am either logged out, or receive “Payment failed or was declined”. I am using a Visa debit/credit card. I even went out to purchase a Visa prepaid card. No luck with that either. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Is the processing time longer now in vietnam after holidays? Or still 4 - 5 days?

Apologies for my dimness... but... Having got a DTV, is there anything else one has to do when entering or staying in Thailand? (I mean in order to secure one's right to enter & stay in the country.). I got an email with a single page document entitled "THAI E-VISA" attached... (The document has a QR code on it.) I have printed that out and could of course show the electronic version on my phone...

Anything else? Thank you for any help/ instructions you can give me on this....

Does anyone know whether I can change location of the application while it is proceeding? Who should I contact?

During this past week, several Thai Embassies and Consulates around the world have officially announced and posted Notices that they will go to the Thai E-Visa website [members only]/ system to accept Thai E-Visa applications, process, and issue Thai E-Visas starting on the New Year, 01 January 2025.

Generally, they will stop accepting in-person visa application submissions and stop issuing Thai Visa Stickers on Christmas Eve, 24 December 2024, with a few Thai Embassies/Consulates stopping before that on 20 December 2024 or earlier. At Taipei, they will stop on 27 December 2024.

Do note the processing times with Thai E-Visa are longer than before with many announcements stating 10–15 working days to process and issue Thai E-Visas.

Also, some Thai Embassies/Consulates will NOT be accepting card payments via the Thai E-Visa website, but will instead be accepting payments in Cash after submitting an Thai E-Visa application via the website.

Those Thai Embassies/Consulates that have announced this different method of payment (Cash) are: Vientiane, Savannakhet, Yangon, India, Brunei, Pakistan, Tel Aviv, Jordan, others....

These announcements are in line with the stated goal of the Thai Government to change all 94 Thai Embassies/Consulates around the world to the Thai E-Visa website system by December 2024.

I’m trying to complete the Thai E-Visa. I’m at the point where I need to upload a photo. “The photo must be under 3MB!”

I am stuck at this part. I’ve tried taking the lowest res photos that I can. Still cannot proceed past this point.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Call me old-fashioned & old-school and the fact that, previously, in-person Thai visa application submission + issuance of a physical Thai Visa Sticker in the passport = processing times seem to be quicker than current Thai e-Visa processing times; but, don't think anyone waiting for a Thai Visa Sticker ever exited the country and then re-entered the country to go to a Thai Embassy/Consulate during the wait for their Thai visa sticker issuance

So, the same concept/principle should apply for Thai e-Visa issuance = just stay physically in the country until the Thai e-Visa PDF is issued, even if it is a long processing time....

Also, this whole thing about being too lazy or cheap to physically print out the Thai E-Visa PDF:

Things happen in life, even in a fully digital world and humanity should be conserving paper and not wasting paper, but relying on showing something on a smartphone where some technical glitch could possibly happen and the smartphone becomes inoperable or one accidentally drops their smartphone, anyone would be wiser and more prepared with a simple sheet of paper with their Thai E-Visa printed on it....
