Frequently Asked Questions

The eVOA (Electronic Visa on Arrival) is an online travel authorization issued by the Thai government. It allows eligible citizens to enter Thailand for tourism purposes without applying in person at a Thai embassy or consulate. The visa is approved and sent to you electronically before travel.
The eVOA itself cannot be extended. However, once you're in Thailand, you may be able to apply for an extension at the Thai Immigration Bureau for an additional stay (subject to approval and fees). It's best to plan your stay within the 15-day limit provided by the eVOA.
The eVOA is obtained online before your trip and is valid upon arrival. A regular VOA is obtained in person at the airport upon arrival in Thailand. The eVOA is faster, more convenient, and has fewer documents required. Some travelers prefer the eVOA for peace of mind and easier processing.
The eVOA is accepted at all major airports in Thailand, including Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK), Phuket International Airport (HKT), Chiang Mai International Airport (CNX), and Krabi International Airport (HKT). It's also accepted at some seaports. Check with your airline or airport to confirm.
Yes, proof of a return flight or onward travel is required for your eVOA application. This confirms you don't intend to overstay in Thailand. A flight booking (not necessarily a paid ticket) is acceptable.
