The Royal Thai embassy in Abuja set the applications’ start date at January 1 after announcing they
were no longer accepting physical applications.
The policy also applies to citizens of Ghana, Cameroon, Benin Republic, Central African Republic,
Congo, Equatorial Guinea, São Tomé and Príncipe, and Chad.
In a statement, the embassy said all applicants must be residing within the aforementioned countries
when applying for the visa.
The embassy said it has the right to cancel the visa applications should the applicants fail to provide
evidence of their presence within the aforementioned countries.
“Travel booking confirmation must be provided upon submission of your visa application. This
includes return flight details showing applicant’s name, departure and return date, all flights en route
from the aforementioned countries to Thailand,” the embassy said.
“Upon receiving your application, it takes within 5 working days to get your visa.”
The embassy said the processing time can take longer in certain cases.
Intending travellers were advised to apply for a visa at least 4-6 weeks before the departure date but
not more than three months before.
