Thailand to introduce e-Visa from 2015

BANGKOK: -- Thailand plans to introduce e-Visas in 2015 in order to improve immigration security and make it easier for tourists and Non-Immigrants to apply for visas online, Thai TV Channel 3 reported today.

E-visa, an alternative way of applying for a visa instead of going through a Thai Embassy or Consulate, certain types of visas can be applied for online. The service will be available to holders of passports from certain countries.

Unlike ordinary visas, when electronic visas are issued, no stamp or other documentation is affixed inside the traveller's passport; the computer-based system links the passport number to the electronic visa and is accessible by immigration officials and airline carriers.

Further details about the upcoming e-visas are expected to be announced shortly.

This is a simplified system and it works like clockwork for Cambodia (would work even better if e-visas were accepted at every point of entry).

HOWEVER, in Cambodia the e-visa system is only used for one month tourist visas - Thailand is visa exempt in those circumstances.

I cannot imagine that the e-visa system could be used for Non-Immigrant 'Ó's etc
