What a Thailand eVisa fee quote should include
Thai visa fees can depend on the visa category, entry type, currency, and the mission that handles your application, so a single universal number can mislead you. Before you pay, separate the government fee from any private assistance charge, and make sure the eVisa fee shown belongs to your passport and trip. Use the checklist below to verify each element of the quote.
| Fee element | What the official process establishes | What you must verify |
|---|---|---|
| Visa category | The amount is linked to the visa category and entry type selected | Confirm the quote is for a Tourist Visa or Tourist eVisa, not another category |
| Responsible mission | Thai missions may publish fee schedules in their own local currency | Use the mission responsible for your application location |
| Government fee | This is the consular charge set or published by the Thai authority | Check whether it is non-refundable once processing begins |
| Assistance charge | A private service may add a separate handling or assistance fee | VistoRoute is independent; do not confuse any private charge with the Thai government fee |
| Refund rule | Refund treatment follows the official process and the payment channel terms | Do not assume an unsuccessful application creates an automatic refund |
Government fee and assistance charge
In its general visa information, the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs publishes a Tourist Visa rate of 1,000 Baht per entry, with the double-entry rate at 2,000 Baht. Treat these as published reference figures: the amount displayed at the payment step of your Thailand eVisa application, by your responsible mission, is the amount you must pay, and fees may change without prior notice. If you plan a longer stay, the same published rate can also be paid for an extension inside Thailand, and our Thailand tourist eVisa guide covers the standard stay rules.
If you use a private assistance service, its handling charge is separate from the consular fee and is not set by any Thai authority. Ask for an itemised quote so the two amounts never arrive mixed into one line, and check our Thailand tourist eVisa processing time page if you are working to a travel date.
| Visa type | Published rate | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Single entry | 1,000 Baht | Per entry, as published in general Thai visa information |
| Double entry | 2,000 Baht | Two entries within the visa validity |
| Other categories | Separate published rates | Multiple-entry and non-tourist categories follow their own schedules |
| Local-currency equivalent | May be published | Your mission payment step shows the final payable amount |

Thailand eVisa fee FAQs
How much is the Thailand tourist eVisa fee?
The Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs publishes a general Tourist Visa rate of 1,000 Baht for a single entry and 2,000 Baht for a double entry. The payment step of your mission eVisa process shows the final amount you must pay, which can differ by mission and currency.
Is the Thailand eVisa fee refundable?
Do not assume so. Once processing begins, the consular fee is generally treated as non-refundable, and an unsuccessful application does not create an automatic refund. Any refund decision sits with the official process and the payment channel terms.
Do I pay a private assistance charge as well?
Only if you choose paid assistance. A private service charge is separate from the Thai consular fee. Ask for an itemised breakdown so the government fee and the assistance charge appear on separate lines.
Can I pay the Thailand eVisa fee in my own currency?
Thai missions may publish payable equivalents in local currency. The payment step shows the currency for your mission, and your bank may add conversion or cross-border charges on top of the amount shown.
Does the TDAC arrival card cost money?
No. The Thailand Digital Arrival Card is a free official entry form, submitted within 72 hours before departure. Any paid TDAC offer comes from a third-party service, not the Thai authority.
Will the fee stay the same until I travel?
Fees can change without prior notice. Verify the amount on the same day you pay, and re-check before you travel if your payment was made weeks in advance.
