Thailand is one of the most loved holiday spots for Nepali travelers. Beaches, temples, food and shopping are all just a short flight away. But getting a Thailand visa from Nepal has changed recently. Visa on arrival is no longer available for Nepali passports. This guide shows you the documents you need and the simple steps to apply.
Can Nepali Travelers Get a Thailand Visa on Arrival?
No. Thailand removed Nepal from its visa on arrival list in 2026. Many older websites still say you can get a visa at the airport. That information is now outdated. You must get your visa before you fly. Nepali travelers apply for a Thailand tourist e-visa online. Airlines may refuse boarding if you do not have an approved visa.
Please also remember the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC). It is a free online form. Fill it in within 72 hours before you arrive.
Documents Required for Thailand Visa from Nepal
Keep clear digital copies ready. You need these four things:
- Passport scan: front page and address page
- Bank statement: last 3 months (90 days), with a minimum closing balance of Rs. 100,000 per person. A mobile banking PDF is preferred.
- ID photo: citizenship, NID or driving license
- Passport-size photo: one recent color digital photo, 35×45 mm, taken against a white background
Applying as a family or group? Each person needs their own set of documents and their own bank balance.
