Thailand to launch e-visa for Bangladeshis on Jan 2; here’s how to apply

Thailand is simplifying travel for Bangladeshis with the introduction of its e-visa service, making the visa application process more convenient and efficient.

The e-visa service will be launched for Bangladeshis from January 2, The Royal Thai Embassy in Dhaka said in a statement yesterday.

Bangladeshi official passport holders will be exempt from visa requirements starting December 19, 2024, it also said.

The official passports are issued to Bangladesh government employees, government officials and individuals representing the Bangladeshi government on official business.

Applicants will be able to fill out the application form and upload required documents on the website https://www.thaievisa.go.th without the need to submit their passport.

With this new system, the applicants will receive the approved visa by e-mail which should be printed and presented to the Thai immigration at the port of entry.

Due to certain technical limitations, applicants in Bangladesh are unable to pay the visa fee directly on the e-visa website. After submitting the application, the system will generate a "Payment Info Summary" sheet, which includes the application reference number, QR code, and the visa fee amount. Applicants must transfer the payment to the Thai Embassy's bank account via thaievisa – Commercial Bank of Ceylon PLC and upload the "Payment Info Summary" sheet for verification. Cash payments at the bank will not be accepted.

The e-visa will typically be processed within 10 working days. Detailed instructions on how to apply for the Thai e-Visa are available on the website.

To prepare for the new e-visa system, the Royal Thai Embassy in Dhaka will stop accepting applications through the four visa application centers from December 24, added the statement.​

This is wonderful, now that patients and tourists are unable to go to India due to Visa ban, they can go to Thailand instead.

Thais are welcoming our business with open arms.

Thais are not ungrateful like the Indians. They appreciate our business and thank us. Long live Thai-Bangla friendship.

I have several friends who are Thai and Bengali friends with Thai spouses as well. They see us differently than they see Indians. I have a lot of admiration for Thai culture and their aesthetics. Thai alphabet is almost identical to the Bengali alphabet (Ka, Kha, Gha etc.). Names are identical to our Pali language forebears.

Many bhikkhoos from our Vanga desh area travelled to Thailand and Burma to teach them Buddhist precepts under Tripitaka which was written in Pali. The modern Thai language is based on Pali, just like Bengali.

We have cultural affinity with Thailand. I hope more and more Bangladeshis visit Thailand for medical and other reasons. I see Thailand as an alternative to India for medical tourism.
