Getting a Thailand visa is the biggest worry for most Pakistani travellers — but it doesn’t have to be. In this step-by-step guide, we explain exactly how to apply for a Thailand Tourist Visa from Pakistan, what documents you need, how long it takes, and how much it costs in 2026.
At ThailandTrips.pk, we handle the complete visa process for every customer who books with us. But if you want to understand the process — read on.
Do Pakistani Passport Holders Need a Visa for Thailand?
Yes. Pakistani nationals are required to obtain a Tourist Visa (TR) before travelling to Thailand. Thailand does not offer visa-on-arrival or visa-free entry to Pakistani passport holders.
The good news: the process is straightforward, processing times are fast (3–5 working days), and ThailandTrips.pk can handle it all for you when you book a package.
Thailand Visa Types for Pakistani Travellers
| Visa Type | Duration | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Tourist Visa – Single Entry (TR) | 60 days stay, valid 3 months | Most travellers — holidays, honeymoon, family trips |
| Tourist Visa – Multiple Entry (METV) | 60 days per entry, valid 6 months | Frequent travellers visiting multiple times |
For most Pakistani travellers visiting Thailand for a holiday, the Single Entry Tourist Visa (TR) is the right choice.

Collect all mandatory documents listed above. Make sure your passport is valid for at least 6 months beyond your travel dates. Get your bank statement stamped and signed by your bank.
Step 2: Book Flights and Hotel First
The embassy requires confirmed flight and hotel bookings. Book these before applying, or let ThailandTrips.pk handle this as part of your package.
Step 3: Fill the Application Form
Download the Tourist Visa application form from the Royal Thai Embassy website. Fill it in clearly — use block letters. Do not leave any section blank.
Step 4: Prepare the Fee Payment
Pay the visa fee in cash at the time of submission. The embassy does not accept cheques or online payments.
Step 5: Submit Your Application
Visit the Royal Thai Embassy (Islamabad) or Consulate-General (Karachi) between 9am–12pm on weekdays. If you’re from another city, your travel agent can submit on your behalf.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a Thailand visa on arrival from Pakistan?
No. Pakistani passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival in Thailand. You must apply for a Tourist Visa in advance from the Royal Thai Embassy in Islamabad or the Consulate-General in Karachi.
How long can I stay in Thailand on a Tourist Visa?
A Thailand Tourist Visa (TR) allows a stay of up to 60 days per entry. It is valid for 3 months from the date of issue, meaning you must enter Thailand within 3 months of the visa being granted.
How much bank balance do I need for Thailand visa?
The embassy typically looks for a minimum of PKR 50,000–100,000 in your bank account as evidence of sufficient funds for the trip. Higher balances improve your application strength. If your balance is low, a sponsor letter from a family member can supplement your application.
Can I extend my Thailand visa?
Yes, a Tourist Visa can be extended by up to 30 days at an Immigration office inside Thailand. The extension fee is 1,900 Thai Baht (approximately PKR 17,000).
How many days before travel should I apply?
Apply at least 2–3 weeks before your travel date. Standard processing takes 3–5 working days, but it’s always better to apply early in case of any queries.
