Visa information

From 22 November 2021 onwards, Belgian and Luxembourgish residents wishing to request a Thai visa must apply for their visa only via the E-Visa system: https://www.thaievisa.go.th/ / Visa Exemption Scheme: https://brussels.thaiembassy.org/en/page/visa-exemption

*Please read ALL the information before submitting the visa application because the visa fee cannot be refunded in any case.*

The Embassy does not accept applications submitted at the Embassy or by mail in any case.

Once your visa is approved, E-visa will be automatically sent to the registered email or can be downloaded on the application platform once it has been issued. The granted visa will be a stickerless E-visa which DOES NOT require passport submission at the Embassy for sticker attachment. E-visa can be printed from the email or E-visa system and presented to the airline office or the Immigration Officer.

Attention: VISA PROCESSING TIME AT LEAST 3 WEEKS (UP TO 5 WEEKS DURING HIGH SEASON)

Applicants are recommended to apply for the visa in advance, at least a minimum of 3 weeks and maximum 10 weeks before the expected date of your departure.
The application will be considered only once you have completed the submission of all required documents. Please note that it is your responsibility to allow sufficient time for the visa process.

**The Embassy will not assume any responsibility if your visa is issued before/after your planned departure date.**

***Explanation: The period of visa validity is NOT the permitted period of stay. ***

Visa validity, as indicated on the e-visa (“Valid from - Valid until"), is the period during which a visa can be used to enter Thailand, not the length of time that the visa's holder can stay in Thailand. In general, the validity of a visa is 3 months. The validity of a visa is granted with discretion by the Royal Thai Embassy.

Permitted Period of Stay: This is the maximum amount of time you’re allowed to stay in Thailand for each entry which indicate in each type of visa. For example, a transit visa allows up to 30 days, a tourist visa allows up to 60 days, and a non-immigrant visa allows up to 90 days starting from your arrival date.

If you want to stay longer or change your visa type, you need to apply for an extension at the Immigration Bureau in Bangkok or at an immigration office in other provinces. The extension is at the discretion of the immigration officer. For more details, visit the Immigration Bureau’s website at www.immigration.go.th

The applicants must be able to confirm that the applicants are residing in Belgium or Luxembourg during the time of visa procession.
