Thailand moved its visa system fully online, and for once a government digitisation project has made things genuinely better. No passport drop-off, no consulate queue, no courier. There is one wrinkle, and it is worth knowing.
Proof of onward travel is now enforced
It always existed on paper. It is now checked at the gate, by the airline, because airlines have been fined for boarding passengers without it. A one-way ticket to Bangkok will get you turned away at check-in in Dubai, visa or no visa.
Do you even need it?
Many nationalities get 30 to 60 days visa-free. Before you pay anyone (us included), send your passport nationality on WhatsApp and we will tell you whether you need a visa at all. We turn away paid work on this every week and we would rather that than sell you something you do not need.
Send your file to DD Visa Hub and we will tell you what is missing before you submit.
