Thailand Tourist Visa for Pakistanis: What to Prepare

Thailand offers some of the best value holidays in Asia — busy Bangkok, lively Pattaya, and the turquoise islands of Phuket and Krabi. Pakistani passport holders need a visa before travelling, and Thailand now runs its visa applications through an official online e-Visa system.

Documents usually required

• Passport valid for at least six months, with blank pages
• Recent passport-size photograph
• Confirmed return flight booking
• Hotel bookings for your stay
• Bank statements for the last six months, showing enough funds for the trip
• Employment letter, or business documents if self-employed
• For students: an enrolment letter, plus the parents' financial documents

Tip: Upload clear colour scans, not phone photos taken at an angle. Unclear documents are one of the most common reasons for delays.

How to apply

1. Register on the official Thai e-Visa website.
2. Choose the tourist visa category and fill in your details.
3. Upload your documents and pay the fee.
4. Wait for approval by email, then print your e-Visa and carry it with you.

Apply at least three to four weeks before travel, and earlier during school holidays.

Planning your Thailand trip

• 7 days: Phuket and Krabi — the Phi Phi Islands and Krabi's 4 Islands tour
• 7 days: Bangkok and Pattaya — city tours, a Chao Phraya cruise dinner and Coral Island
• 12–13 days: Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket and Krabi — the complete Thailand experience

Moving between Bangkok and the islands is quickest by domestic flight, while Bangkok to Pattaya is a short road transfer.

Travel tips

• Carry some cash in Thai baht; small shops and boat tours often don't take cards
• Dress modestly when visiting temples — shoulders and knees covered
• Use sunscreen and stay hydrated on island tours
