Common Mistake

Details & Tips

Submitting Blurry or Incomplete Documents

Many applications are refused because of unclear or incomplete file uploads. Make sure every document (especially passport, employment letter, and photo) is:

• Scanned in color, not black and white.
• Fully visible — no cropped edges or blurred text.
• Uploaded in the correct format (PDF or JPG) and under 3MB.

✅ Tip: Before submitting, zoom in to check readability of every uploaded page.

Mismatch Between Passport and Application Details

• Even a small typo in your name, passport number, or date of birth can delay processing.
• Always double-check your online application form against your passport.
• If any information doesn’t match, the system or the embassy may request a re-submission.

Forgetting Proof of Residence in Vietnam

• Applicants who live in Vietnam (especially foreigners) often forget to attach temporary residence confirmation or valid Vietnam visa page with latest entry stamp.
• Without this document, the Thai eVisa system may mark your application as “outside eligible location.”

Submitting Too Late or Too Close to Travel Date

• Many travelers apply only a few days before departure — which is risky.
• The Thailand working eVisa processing time is typically 5–10 working days, but it can take longer during peak periods.

💡 Recommendation: Submit your eVisa at least 2 weeks before your travel date.

Ignoring Email Notifications from the Embassy

If additional documents are required, you’ll receive an email from the system. Ignoring or missing this message may cause your application to expire. Check your inbox and spam folder daily during the processing period.
