How to apply for the Thailand Tourist eVisa as a DRC citizen

How to apply for a Thailand Tourist eVisa

How long can I stay in Thailand with a Tourist eVisa?

Your visa validity (shown as “valid until” on your eVisa) is how long you have to use the visa to enter Thailand. For most Tourist eVisas, this is 90 days from the date of issue. This does not mean you can stay in Thailand for 90 days.

The actual length of stay is determined by an immigration officer when you arrive. For a Tourist eVisa, the maximum stay is typically 60 days per entry. The exact duration will be stamped in your passport at the port of entry.

To avoid overstaying, always follow the date stamped on arrival, not the expiration date on your visa.

“I liked that I could complete the application form in French. That made it easier to get everything right on the first try.” — Patrick M, DRC
