Thai e-Visa available for all nationalities.
Thailand e-Visa for Pakistanis — overview
Thailand is famous for its beaches, islands, temples, food and vibrant cities, and it is increasingly popular with Pakistani travellers and honeymooners. Ordinary Pakistani passport holders need a visa to visit Thailand, but the application is made online through the official Thai e-Visa system, which became available for all nationalities in 2025. A tourist visa typically allows a stay of up to 30 days, depending on the visa type granted.
How to apply for a Thailand e-Visa
- Visit the official Thai e-Visa website and select the Royal Thai Embassy in Islamabad (or the relevant mission) as your application location.
- Choose the visa type — usually a Tourist Visa for holidays.
- Complete the form with details exactly matching your passport.
- Upload supporting documents as requested (see below).
- Pay the visa fee online and submit your application.
- Receive your e-Visa by email once approved, and print it for travel.
Documents commonly required
- Passport valid for at least six months with blank pages (scanned bio page)
- Recent passport photograph
- Confirmed round-trip flight booking
- Hotel booking or proof of accommodation for the entire stay
- Bank statement showing sufficient funds (typically the last six months)
- Employment letter or business documents (NTN, registration) to show ties to Pakistan

Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)
Foreign visitors arriving in Thailand are required to complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) online before arrival. It replaces the old paper arrival card. Complete it through the official website within the allowed period before your flight and keep the confirmation with you.
On arrival
Present your passport, printed e-Visa, TDAC confirmation, return ticket and hotel bookings. Immigration officers may ask about your plans and funds. Entry and length of stay are decided by the officer.

Tips for Pakistani travellers
