Thailand Introduces E-Visa for Indian Travelers Starting January 2025
The Royal Thai Embassy in New Delhi has announced the launch of Thailand’s Electronic Visa (E-Visa) system for Indian travelers, set to roll out on January 1, 2025. This move is expected to significantly enhance travel convenience for Indian citizens, aligning with the growing demand for seamless international travel.
Key Highlights of the E-Visa System
- Visa Exemption for Indian Passport Holders: Indian citizens will continue to benefit from a 60-day visa exemption for short stays in Thailand.
- Online Application Portal: Travelers can submit their E-Visa applications through Thailand’s official visa portal at www.thaievisa.go.th.
- Offline Payment Options: While the application process is fully digital, payments can be made offline at the Royal Thai Embassy and Consulate Generals in India for added flexibility.
Announced via the Embassy’s official social media platforms on December 11, 2023, the introduction of the E-Visa system aims to streamline the visa process, reduce paperwork, and make Thailand more accessible for Indian travelers.
This development underscores Thailand’s commitment to fostering tourism and strengthening ties with India, a key market for the country’s tourism industry. By simplifying entry procedures, Thailand aims to attract more Indian visitors and enhance their travel experience.
