Do Nepali Citizens Need a Visa for Thailand?
Yes. All Nepali passport holders must obtain a pre-approved visa before departing for Thailand.
Nepali citizens are not eligible for a Thailand Visa on Arrival (VoA) at Suvarnabhumi Airport, Don Mueang Airport, or land borders. Your visa must be processed and collected from the Royal Thai Embassy in Kathmandu or via an authorized visa agency prior to departure from Nepal.
At SPEEDY Tourism & Travels (an IATA-certified agency operating since 2010), we provide complete end-to-end processing—from document review and online form filling to flight ticket reservations, hotel vouchers, and embassy submissions.
