Applying for a Thailand tourist visa from India is straightforward if you know the process. This step-by-step guide walks you through the application — from form download to passport collection.
Step 1: Choose the Right Visa
First, decide what you need:
- Visa-Free (30 days): Just show up with a return ticket and hotel booking — no application needed
- Single Entry Tourist Visa: Stay up to 60 days, apply at a Thai consulate
- Double Entry Tourist Visa: Two entries, 60 days each
- METV: Multiple entries over 6 months, 60 days per stay — best for frequent travellers
Step 2: Find Your Nearest Thai Embassy or Consulate
| City | Office | Phone |
|---|---|---|
| New Delhi | Royal Thai Embassy | +91-11-26118103 |
| Mumbai | Royal Thai Consulate-General | +91-22-23632888 |
| Chennai | Royal Thai Consulate-General | +91-44-28338101 |
| Kolkata | Royal Thai Consulate-General | +91-33-22890836 |
Step 3: Download and Fill the Application Form
Download the tourist visa application form from the Royal Thai Embassy website (thaiembassy.in). Fill it in block letters using a black or blue pen. Do not leave any fields blank — write “N/A” where a field does not apply to you.

Step 4: Gather Your Documents
- Completed application form (signed)
- Passport (original + photocopy)
- 2 passport-size photographs (white background, 4×6 cm)
- Return flight itinerary
- Hotel bookings
- Bank statement (last 3 months, min ₹1 lakh balance)
- Salary slips / ITR / employment letter
Step 5: Submit at the Consulate (or via Agent)
Walk-in submissions are accepted at most Thai consulates. Timings are typically 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM (Monday to Friday). Check the specific consulate’s website for appointment requirements, as some locations now require prior appointments.
Alternatively, use a IATA-registered travel agent or Vismora to submit on your behalf — useful if the consulate is far from your city.
Step 6: Pay the Visa Fee
| Visa Type | Consulate Fee |
|---|---|
| Single Entry Tourist Visa | ~₹2,000 |
| Double Entry Tourist Visa | ~₹4,000 |
| METV | ~₹6,500 |
Payment is typically in cash or demand draft. Credit/debit cards are usually not accepted at the consulate counter.
Step 7: Wait for Processing (3–5 Working Days)
After submission, your passport will be processed in 3–5 working days. You’ll get a collection slip at the time of submission — bring it when collecting your passport. Most consulates offer collection between 2:00 PM – 4:30 PM.
Step 8: Check Your Visa Before You Travel
When you collect your passport, verify the visa details immediately: your name, nationality, passport number, validity dates, number of entries, and duration of stay. Report any errors to the consulate on the spot.
