Application for Thailand visa!

Both expats and UAE nationals can apply for a Thailand visa from Dubai without any restrictions. As long as you hold a valid passport and are currently residing in the UAE, you're eligible to submit your application through us at Green Apple Travel & Tourism. We process applications for all nationalities and visa statuses, whether you're on a work visa, visit visa, or hold UAE citizenship. Simply contact us via WhatsApp or visit our office in Bur Dubai to get started.

You'll need your original passport (valid for at least 6 months), a completed TM.6 form, one 4x6 cm passport-sized photograph, a copy of your visa page and passport details page, proof of onward travel (flight confirmation), proof of accommodation in Thailand, and proof of financial stability (bank statement showing minimum AED 15,000 or equivalent). If you're employed in the UAE, we also recommend including an employment letter on company letterhead. Our team at Green Apple will guide you through the exact checklist when you contact us, and we offer free document pickup and delivery across Dubai to make the process hassle-free.

Standard processing through the Royal Thai Embassy in Dubai takes approximately 4–5 working days from the date your application reaches the embassy. Express processing (if available) can reduce this to 2–3 working days but may incur additional fees. Our team at Green Apple will submit your documents to the embassy or VFS Global centre and keep you updated throughout the process via WhatsApp. Once approved, we'll arrange free delivery of your passport with the visa sticker back to your Dubai address.

Our service package starts at AED 850, which covers our visa consultation, document review, form completion assistance, and submission to the Thai embassy or authorised visa centre in Dubai. This fee includes our FREE pickup and delivery service across Dubai—we'll collect your documents from your home or office and return your passport with the visa. The actual Thai embassy visa fee (approximately AED 440–500) is separate and paid directly to the embassy; our consultants will clarify the exact breakdown when you contact us.

Yes, absolutely—this is one of our key services at Green Apple Travel & Tourism. We can submit your complete application on your behalf to the Royal Thai Embassy or VFS Global centre in Dubai, meaning you never need to visit in person. We handle the entire process: collecting your documents from your Dubai location, preparing and submitting the application, tracking its status, and delivering your passport with the approved visa back to you. Simply WhatsApp us your details or book an appointment at our Bur Dubai office to begin.

A Thailand e-visa is an online approval valid for 90 days from issue and allows single entry; it's faster to obtain (1–2 days) and can be printed at home, but is less commonly recognised at some border points. A sticker visa (the traditional visa stamp in your passport) is issued by the Thai Embassy and is valid for 60 days with single or multiple-entry options; it's more widely accepted and our recommended choice for most travellers applying from Dubai. We primarily process sticker visas through the embassy as they offer greater flexibility and are the safest option for international travel.

Yes, Thailand offers multiple-entry tourist visas that allow you to leave and re-enter Thailand multiple times during the visa validity period (typically 6 months). This option is more expensive than a single-entry visa—expect to pay approximately AED 1,200–1,400 total (including our service fee of AED 850 plus the higher embassy fee) compared to the standard single-entry package. Multiple-entry visas are ideal if you plan to visit neighbouring countries like Cambodia, Laos, or Malaysia during your trip and want to return to Thailand afterwards. Contact us via WhatsApp to confirm current pricing and whether this option suits your travel plans.

Rejections are rare with proper documentation, but if it happens, the Thai Embassy will provide a reason—typically insufficient financial proof, incomplete forms, or discrepancies in your documents. You can absolutely reapply, and we'll help you strengthen your application by addressing the embassy's concerns, such as providing additional bank statements, a stronger employment letter, or clearer travel itineraries. There's no official waiting period between rejections, and our team at Green Apple will work with you at no additional consultation fee to prepare a stronger second application. We'll also ensure your resubmission includes all feedback from the first attempt.

A visa on arrival (obtained at Thai immigration upon landing) is convenient but comes with drawbacks: it's only valid for 15 days, costs slightly more (around THB 2,000–2,500, approximately AED 200–250), and requires you to queue at the airport—risking delays if you're travelling during peak hours. A tourist visa obtained from Dubai before travel gives you 60 days, is processed smoothly without airport queues, and costs roughly the same amount overall (AED 850–1,300 with our service). We recommend applying from Dubai before you travel, especially if you plan to stay longer than 15 days or want the peace of mind of having your visa already approved in your passport.

No, the duration or type of your UAE work visa does not affect your Thailand tourist visa eligibility—the Thai Embassy only cares that you have a valid passport, proof of funds, and genuine travel plans. Even expats on visit visas or limited-duration employment contracts can apply successfully. What matters to Thai immigration is showing financial stability (a bank statement showing sufficient funds) and a clear itinerary, both of which we'll help you prepare. If you're concerned about your UAE employment status, simply mention it when you WhatsApp us or visit our Bur Dubai office, and our experienced consultants will ensure your application is structured to address any potential concerns.
