Islamabad, Dec 12: Starting January 1, 2025, at 10:00 AM (UTC+7), foreign nationals in Pakistan and Afghanistan wishing to apply for a Thai visa will need to use the new online e-Visa platform at https://www.thaievisa.go.th.
The Royal Thai Embassy in Islamabad announced that applicants will no longer need to submit passports or original documents in person.
However, since online payment is not yet available, applicants must pay the visa fee at the embassy located at Plots No. 1-20, Diplomatic Enclave, Sector G-5/4, Islamabad. Once an e-Visa is approved, applicants will receive a confirmation email, which must be printed and presented to the airline at departure and to Thai immigration upon arrival.
To ease the transition, the embassy will continue to accept in-person visa applications until December 24, 2024. For further inquiries, applicants can email the embassy at consular.isb@mfa.go.th.
This shift to a digital application process highlights Thailand’s dedication to modernizing its visa procedures while maintaining efficient consular services for travelers in Pakistan and Afghanistan.
