Thai Non-Immigrant B Visa Form Guidelines

Thai Non-Immigrant B Visa Form Guidelines

The Thai visa application form is one of the primary documents you must submit when applying for a Thai Visa.

The Thai Visa application form isn’t complicated, but it needs to be completed accurately; otherwise, your visa application can be refused.

The specific application form can change depending on the Thai embassy/consulate, as they like to add the name of the institution on it.

However, the layout and the requested data are the same everywhere. Use the application form provided by the Thai embassy or consulate you are applying to, as it will help you circumvent mistakes.

The visa form requires you to submit your personal information and details about your visit. The paper should be completed in English, and there are six sections. I will give you a full rundown on how to complete each unit and provide images as examples.

Thai Non-Immigrant B Visa Form-Section One

On the top right of the application form, you must attach two photographs taken within the last six months. In section 1, tick the type of visa you are applying for - in most cases, for people reading this guide, it will be “Non-Immigrant.”
