TORONTO — The Tourism Authority of Thailand (Canada) has launched a new Tourist Visa that eligible Canadians can apply for, effective immediately.
Once the approved Tourist Visa (TR) is issued, applicants are then able to apply for a Certificate of Entry (COE), which will allow them to visit the destination and stay for up to 60 days.
The TR visa requirements include the following:
- Original passport with 6 months validity
- Completed visa application form
- 1 passport size photo (2×2 or bigger) taken within the last 6 months
- A copy of the applicant’s bank account statement indicating a minimum balance of 500,000 THB (equivalent to approximately Can$23,000)
- For non-Canadian citizens, a copy of permanent resident card or a copy of valid Canadian visa with a letter stating proof of employment or letter stating proof of full-time student status
- A copy of an e-ticket indicating confirmation of airline booking and departure and return dates
- Visa fee: $50 Single entry (money order only in Canadian funds payable to “Royal Thai Embassy”)
Once the TR Visa is received, applicants can then apply for the Certificate of Entry online. Guidelines for the COE application can be found by visiting the Royal Thai Embassy website.
Upon entry to Thailand, visitors will be required to comply with all travel, health and safety protocols, which currently include a 14-day quarantine in an approved Alternative State Quarantine (ASQ) hotel.
For a complete list of entry requirements, contact the Royal Thai Embassy in Ottawa at visa@thaiembassy.ca.
