Thailand to introduce e-Visa from 2015
BANGKOK: --
Thailand plans to introduce e-Visas in 2015 in order to improve immigration security and make it easier for tourists and Non-Immigrants to apply for visas online, Thai TV Channel 3 reported today.
E-visa, an alternative way of applying for a visa instead of going through a Thai Embassy or Consulate, certain types of visas can be applied for online. The service will be available to holders of passports from certain countries.
Unlike ordinary visas, when electronic visas are issued, no stamp or other documentation is affixed inside the traveller's passport; the computer-based system links the passport number to the electronic visa and is accessible by immigration officials and airline carriers.
Further details about the upcoming e-visas are expected to be announced shortly.
