Our guide to the Thailand visa from the Dominican Republic

Yes: Dominican citizens travelling to Thailand must now apply for an e-Visa online before departure. The official Thai portal processes it for 40 USD, with an observed processing time of 5 business days.

Holders of a passport from the Dominican Republic planning a trip to Thailand need to fit this step into their schedule, because the rule changed in September 2026. The e-Visa grants a stay of 60 days (extendable once by 30 days), and the whole application is handled on the official portal.

Do you need a visa?

Yes. Until 14 September 2026, nationals of the Dominican Republic could enter Thailand visa-free for 60 days. Since 15 September 2026, the Dominican Republic no longer appears on the list of 60 exempt countries published by the Royal Thai embassies. Dominican citizens must therefore obtain an e-Visa before travelling, including for a short tourist stay.

How to apply

Go to the official portal thaievisa.go.th, the only channel for filing a Thai e-Visa. Enter your Dominican passport and trip details, select the appropriate visa type, then upload the requested documents and pay the fee. If any step is unclear, the guidance on mfa.go.th or from the Thai embassy responsible for the Dominican Republic is the reference.

Where do you apply for a visa for Thailand from the Dominican Republic?

An e-visa for Thailand is filed entirely online: there is no counter to visit and no file to hand in. The only address that matters is the official portal.

The application, the supporting documents and the payment all go through the official portal, from any country.
Lookalike sites copy the portal’s name and layout, then resell the same application with a margin. Check the domain before you type in a passport number.
The authorisation arrives by email. Keep a printed copy, some airlines ask for it at boarding.

Using an online service

You never have to use an intermediary. If you would rather have a service fill in and file the application online for you before departure, iVisa does it for a service fee, charged on top of the official fees. It does not change the decision.

You live in the Dominican Republic on another passport?

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in the Dominican Republic but travel on another country's passport, the rule on this page is not yours. Filing usually still happens from your country of residence, at the post competent for it, but the requirement itself comes from your passport.

How long does an e-visa for Thailand take?

5 business days

Indicative time, counted from a complete file. Peak season can be longer.

Processing time and tips

Allow for the observed processing time of 5 business days, plus some margin in case the portal asks for an extra document. The permitted stay is 60 days (extendable once by 30 days): this is not the same as the visa's validity or the processing time. Keep a copy of the approved e-Visa, on paper or on your phone.

Common mistakes

A common mistake among Dominican travellers is still relying on the former 60-day exemption, which no longer applies since 15 September 2026. Another trap is unofficial intermediary websites that look like the Thai portal and add a markup on top of the official 40 USD; make sure the address is thaievisa.go.th before paying. Finally, an application filed the day before the flight leaves no time for processing.
