If you plan to visit Thailand, it's important to know that you have to get a visa before your arrival. You will need one to be able to enter the country. The best place to go and get this is at the UAE embassy in your home country or the airport when you fly into Dubai.
To get an e-visa, you must fill out an application on their website and pay with either cash or a credit card. After that, it will take about three days to receive your e-visa via email. If this isn't possible, there are many other ways of getting a regular visa. You can also go through an agent in your home country, but this may cost more than going through the Embassy or airport. There are three different types of visas available: tourist visas, business visas, and transit visas.
Tourist visas allow up to 90 days inside the country. Business visas allow up to 30 days inside the country unless otherwise specified by the visa holder's employer. Transit visas allow travellers who only want to stop in Dubai while travelling from one destination to another by air (for example, from Tokyo - Bangkok). All these categories have different rules and regulations that must be followed according to the type of Visa you're applying for.
However, all of them require certain documentation. When you go through the Embassy or airport, all documentation needed should be provided; if not, the consulate has links to websites where you can download what you need. Another thing that's required is your passport which needs to have validity for at least six months after your intended stay, and two recent photos. Payment methods are strictly cash or credit card only, so come prepared!
