Thailand Tourist Visa (e-Visa) Requirements for UAE Residents

Required documents

• Passport

  Valid passport

  A passport valid for at least 6 months from the date of intended entry into Thailand.

• Photograph

  Recent passport-size photograph

  A recent passport-size photo uploaded to the e-Visa application meeting the format guidelines published on the official e-Visa portal.

• Residence Proof

  Proof of current UAE residence/immigration status

  Evidence of the applicant's current legal status in the UAE (the 'document indicating current location') — a valid UAE Residence Visa (for those employed, studying, or a family member of a UAE national/resident) or a valid Emirates ID. The exact acceptable document varies with the applicant's residence category.

• Travel Itinerary

  Confirmed round-trip flight booking

  A confirmed round-trip air-ticket itinerary issued directly by the airline; travel-agency bookings or unofficial email confirmations are not accepted.

• Accommodation Evidence

  Proof of accommodation in Thailand

  A hotel booking confirmation for the trip, or alternatively an invitation letter from family/friends in Thailand, consistent with the dates on the travel itinerary.

• Bank Statement

  Bank statement — multiple-entry tourist visa

  Applicants for a multiple-entry tourist visa must submit an original 6-month bank statement showing a balance of at least AED 25,000.

• Application Forms

  Completed online e-Visa application

  The visa application itself is completed and submitted entirely online through Thailand's official e-Visa portal, with all supporting documents uploaded there; in-person submission at the embassy/consulate is no longer accepted.

• Arrival Card

  Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

  A separate, free, online arrival card that every non-Thai traveller — visa holder or visa-exempt — must complete (available from 3 days before travel) before arrival; it is not part of the visa and does not replace it.
