Business Travel Requirements for a Thailand Visa for Canadian Citizens

  1. Mandatory Arrival Card

    All travellers to Thailand are required to apply for the mandatory Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) within 3 days prior to arrival, including the day of arrival. The TDAC can be applied here free of charge.


    The following categories are not required to submit TDAC:
    • Travellers holding a Border Pass
    • Travellers transiting Thailand without leaving the transit area

  2. Visa May Not Be Required

    Visa exempt for a stay of up to 30 days. The traveller must:

    • Hold a passport valid for the duration of intended stay with one blank visa page
    • Hold proof of a confirmed onward/return flight
    • Hold documents showing proof of purpose of trip
    • Hold all documents required for the next destination
    • Confirm with the airline that boarding will be permitted without a visa as these conditions are subject to change

Thailand visa FAQ

  1. When is the best time to apply for my Thailand visa?

    The best time to apply for your Thailand visa is 1-2 months before your travel date.

  2. Do I have to send you my passport to get a Thailand visa? Is it safe to send a passport?

    Yes. You will need to send your actual passport, not a copy of it. The Thailand visa is stamped on your passport and will become one of your passport pages. Visa request cannot be processed without your original passport. Because of the importance of your passport, we strongly suggest that you send your application in a secure way, using a traceable courier such as FedEx.
