Thailand Tourist Visa from Pakistan 2026: Complete e-Visa Guide

From Bangkok’s temples and markets to the beaches of Phuket and Krabi, Thailand is a top holiday choice for travellers from Pakistan — and thanks to its online e-Visa, applying is more convenient than ever. Here’s your complete guide to the Thailand tourist visa for Pakistani passport holders in 2026.

You’ll need a tourist visa

Pakistani passport holders are not eligible for Thailand’s visa exemption, so you need a visa for every visit. For holidays and sightseeing, that’s the tourist visa, now issued through Thailand’s official e-Visa system. The best part: you don’t have to submit your physical passport — the whole application is done online with document scans.

How to apply

• Create an account on the Thai e-Visa portal
• Complete the online application
• Upload passport scan & photo
• Add flights, hotel & funds proof
• Pay the fee online
• Receive the e-Visa by email

You apply on Thailand’s official e-Visa website. Applicants across Pakistan — from Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi and other cities — can also route applications to the Royal Thai Embassy in Islamabad, including through authorised drop-box services. Processing usually takes about 3–5 working days.

Fees, stay and validity

The tourist e-Visa fee is around US$40 for single entry, and a Thai tourist visa typically permits a stay of up to 60 days. Your passport must be valid for at least six months and have two blank pages. Because it’s an e-Visa, only high-quality scans are needed — there’s no need to hand over your passport during the application.

Documents to prepare

• Passport valid 6+ months
• Recent photograph
• Confirmed return flights
• Hotel booking
• Bank statements / proof of funds
• Employment or business proof

Frequently asked questions

Can I get visa-on-arrival? Pakistani passport holders should arrange the e-Visa in advance rather than rely on arrival options. How long can I stay? A tourist visa typically allows up to 60 days. Do I send my passport? No — the e-Visa uses scans, so your passport stays with you.

Thailand is a wonderfully easy trip once the visa is done right. If you’d like help preparing your e-Visa application and getting your documents in order, we’re happy to guide you.

Choosing the right Thai visa

For a holiday, the single-entry tourist visa is what most travellers from Pakistan need — it covers sightseeing and leisure for up to 60 days. Thailand also offers other categories (such as multiple-entry tourist options and longer-stay visas) for specific needs, but for a standard trip the single-entry tourist e-Visa is the simplest and most affordable choice. Pick the option that matches your actual travel plan rather than over-applying.

On arrival and immigration

When you land in Bangkok, Phuket or another Thai airport, immigration may ask for proof that you can support your stay — commonly a return ticket, confirmed accommodation and evidence of funds. Having these ready (printed or on your phone) makes entry quick and stress-free. Keep a copy of your e-Visa approval accessible too.

• Carry return ticket & hotel booking
• Keep proof of funds ready
• Have your e-Visa copy on hand
• Note your permitted stay

Tips for a smooth trip

Apply a couple of weeks before travel so processing and any document requests don’t rush you. Make sure your passport has at least six months’ validity and two blank pages, and that your scans are clear. Book refundable flights and hotels until your visa is approved, and never overstay your permitted days — Thailand fines overstays daily. Simple preparation keeps your holiday exactly that: a holiday.
