Get faster entry into Thailand with eVisa.
It is well known Thailand gives visa on arrival to many
nationalities around the world. You can simply hop on a flight, arrive in
Bangkok, flash your passport and enter Thailand. Sounds very simple, but it is not.
Availing Visa on Arrival facility at Thailand’s airports is often a time
consuming process. Arriving passengers will have to stand in line for hours
till their turn comes, provide lots of evidence- more than 10000 baht per
person in cash, hotel reservations, return tickets and other information to the
satisfaction of visa officers and then be admitted inside Thailand. Those who
fail to provide proof of funds or stay are likely to be turned back. Depending on time of the day, number of flights arriving along
with yours and number of people wanting to avail visa on arrival, the wait time
at airport can easily range from an hour to even 3-4 hours on busy days &
hours. If you have a domestic connecting flight to somewhere else in Thailand-
say Phuket- delay in visa processing can result in missed connection, spoiling
your holiday plans.
A smart traveler like you can plan your trip better- by
availing eVisa before leaving for Thailand. Opt for eVisa on Arrival for

Why Visit Thailand?
Thailand offers something for everyone. It has pristine
beaches, mountains and evergreen forests, tasty tender coconut, amazing
shopping opportunities, mouth watering food, temples and historic sites (like
Bridge over river Kwai), various cultural experiences and events (such as
lantern festival, Phuket Bike festival), long distance biking/road trip
opportunities and much more. Thailand is
very affordable to visit, can be visited around the year and local hospitality
is great. All the more reasons why Thailand is one of the most popular tourist
countries in the world. Thailand has
very affordable air connectivity with several budget airlines- Thai AirAsia,
Thai Smile etc operating lots of domestic and international flights in and out
of Thailand. Road and train network is great too. I have had 4 different trips
to Thailand so far and have enjoyed each one of them. Grab your passport and book your tickets to
Thailand.
