If you’re a Nepali citizen planning a trip to Thailand for tourism, medical treatment, education, or business, you’ll need to apply for a visa before departure. Thankfully, Thailand now offers an eVisa system, making it more convenient than ever to apply from Nepal.
Thailand eVisa Information for Nepali Citizens
Nepali passport holders are required to obtain a visa before traveling to Thailand. With the introduction of the Thai eVisa system, travelers can now complete the application process online or through authorized agents without visiting the Thai Embassy.
Latest Update for 2025
As of 2025, the Royal Thai Embassy requires all Nepali travelers to apply through the official Thai eVisa portal or authorized visa agencies. Visa applications are accepted only from Nepali citizens or foreign nationals who are legal residents of Nepal.
Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)
Thailand has modernized its border entry procedures with the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC), replacing the old paper-based TM.6 form at major international airports and entry points.
What is the TDAC?
The TDAC is an electronic entry–exit form, used to gather essential traveler information—such as name, passport number, flight and accommodation details, purpose of visit, and duration of stay—through digital systems linked to airline and immigration databases.
