Thailand e-Visa for citizens of Rwanda: online application, fees and processing time 2026

Yes. Holders of a Rwanda passport must have an e-Visa or electronic authorisation obtained online before travelling to Thailand. Do not plan to complete this formality on arrival. Follow the process set out on the official Thai portal before departure.

• Government fee40 USD
• Agency or online serviceOptional, added on top

The documents to upload are listed during the application process on the official portal, thaievisa.go.th. Do not assume that a general document list applies to every file: check the portal or the relevant embassy for documents required in your case. The observed official fee is 40 USD.

Submit the application online at thaievisa.go.th. Follow the application journey provided on the portal, enter the requested information and upload the required documents. For rules or circumstances not detailed in the online application, consult mfa.go.th or the relevant embassy.

The regime follows your nationality, not where you live. If you reside in Rwanda 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.

The observed processing time is 5 business days. Submit a complete application through the official portal before departure, and review the entered details and uploaded files carefully. The associated stay is 60 days, extendable once by 30 days.

Do not confuse the processing time of 5 business days with the associated stay of 60 days, which is extendable once by 30 days. Avoid unofficial intermediary websites, as they may add extra charges. Use thaievisa.go.th and consult mfa.go.th if you need official clarification.
