Thailand visa processing time, explained
Standard processing for a Thailand visa is 3–7 working days (e-Visa) once your documents are received.
During peak travel season portals can slow down; we file early and, where the destination offers it, can request express or priority processing at a higher fee.

Why Thailand visas get refused — and how we prevent it
Most refusals come down to avoidable mistakes. Explera pre-screens every application against each of these before we file:
Incomplete, inconsistent or poorly-scanned documents
Insufficient or unexplained bank balance and unclear funding
Passport valid for less than 6 months or without blank pages
Mismatched traveller details between passport, photo and application
Unconfirmed or unrealistic itinerary, tickets or hotel bookings
Tips for a smooth Thailand visa
- ✓Keep your passport valid at least 6 months beyond your Thailand travel dates, with 2+ blank pages.
- ✓Have a clear return ticket and confirmed accommodation ready — they strengthen even simple applications.
- ✓Apply early: start your Thailand visa at least 10–14 days before departure to absorb any delay.
- ✓Bundle your visa with flights, hotels and insurance through Explera — a complete, consistent file approves faster.
