Planning to travel to Thailand from Bangalore? Indian passport holders are visa-exempt for Thailand but must obtain a Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) before travel (required from January 2025). The TDAC permits a 60-day tourist stay, extendable by a further 30 days at a local immigration office. This page explains the visa information, documents required, the application process, fees, processing time, and how to avoid rejection - and how DocuPro can help you apply from Bangalore.

Documents Required

• Passport valid for at least 6 months from arrival
• Recent passport-style photograph (digital)
• Confirmed return or onward air ticket
• Proof of accommodation for the stay
• Proof of sufficient funds (if requested)

Visa Process

1. Complete the Thailand application online before travel.
2. Upload your passport details and photograph.
3. Submit and wait for approval (typically 3–7 working days).
4. Receive the TDAC electronically and carry a copy (printed or digital).
5. Present your passport and TDAC at Thai immigration on arrival.

Fee and Processing Time

Fee: ~₹740 (THB 300)

Processing time: 1–2 working days

Precautions to Avoid Rejection

• Apply for the TDAC well before departure — do not leave it to the last day, as approval can take up to a week.
• Ensure passport details entered exactly match your passport; mismatches cause rejection.
• Use the TDAC within its validity window (15 days from approval to enter).
• Carry proof of onward travel and funds — immigration can still check these on arrival.
• Do not overstay; the initial stay is 60 days, extendable by 30 at a local office.
