Royal Thai Embassy in Abuja has launched an electronic visa application system, making it easier for Nigerians to apply for visas.
Gatekeepers News reports that the new system which began on January 1, replaces the old process of physically applying for visa to the country.
The embassy in a statement released noted that eligible applicants must be residing in the following countries: Ghana, Nigeria, Cameroon, Benin Republic, Central African Republic, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, São Tomé and Príncipe, and Chad.
The embassy noted that it has the right to cancel the visa applications should the applicants fail to provide evidence of their presence within the aforementioned countries.
It added, “Travel booking confirmation must be provided upon submission of your visa application. This includes return flight details showing applicant’s name, departure and return date, all flights en route from the aforementioned countries to Thailand.”
“Upon receiving your application, it takes within 5 working days to get your visa.”
The embassy also noted that the processing time typically takes 5 working days, but may take longer in certain cases.
It urged intending travellers to apply for visa at least 4-6 weeks before the departure date but not more than three months before.
All applications must be completed online via www.thaievisa.go.th
