Thailand eVisa Official Website: the Government Channel (US Travelers)
Navigation: ← Thailand hub · eVisa guide · TDAC · Start on my-evisas.com
For US travelers: which site is the Thai government e-Visa channel, what counts as an impersonator, and how a disclosed private helper (my-evisas.com) fits. There are two valid paths to the same electronic visa: government DIY, or assisted filing. An impersonator is a site that pretends to be the Thai government — not “any site that is not .go.th.” Updated: 15 September 2026.
Short answer — official services, impersonators and private assistance
| Bucket | What it is | What you do |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Official government | The Thai e-Visa channel named by the Embassy and titled as the official website of Thailand Electronic Visa | You may file yourself on that government channel |
| 2. Impersonator | A site that pretends to be the Royal Thai Government / MFA / Embassy | Do not pay it or hand over a passport because it looks “official” |
| 3. Disclosed private help | my-evisas.com — a private company, not affiliated with the Thai government | Assisted electronic filing; government fee and service fee are separate; only the government grants or refuses |
- The Royal Thai Embassy in Washington, D.C. states that visa applications go through the e-Visa portal at thaievisa.go.th.
- my-evisas.com does not replace the government. Only the government grants or refuses. We cannot speed up government processing.
- TDAC is a separate Immigration form — see TDAC. Rules and timing: eVisa guide. Help: my-evisas.com.
Official government channel
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs site at thaievisa.go.th presents itself as the Official Website of Thailand Electronic Visa.
The Embassy FAQ adds:
- All visa applications must be submitted through that e-Visa portal.
- Applicants are no longer required to mail documents; the Embassy does not accept walk-in or drop-off for visa services at the moment.
- You are only able to apply if you are currently not in Thailand.
- After approval, a confirmation e-mail is sent — print it for airlines and Thai immigration.
Assisted filing on my-evisas.com supports that same electronic path. It does not turn a random form into the government site.
Impersonators (sites that pretend to be the Thai government)
Treat a site as an impersonator when it claims to be the Thai government, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a Thai embassy, or the official e-Visa office — and it is not.
Red flags (structure, not a domain-suffix rule):
- A promise that the visa will be granted no matter what, or a claim to be the embassy’s partner
- A domain or layout that imitates government branding so you think you are on MFA / Immigration
- No company name, address, or disclosure that it is a private business
- Asking you to mail a physical passport to a private address for an e-Visa
- Presenting a service fee as if it were the only government visa fee
A .com address is not the definition of fake. my-evisas.com is a .com and is a disclosed private helper (bucket 3). A disclosed service fee alone does not establish fraud or legitimacy. Check the business, terms and payment recipient before sharing documents or paying.
If you are unsure, compare the address bar with the government channel named above, then start with help on my-evisas.com or read the eVisa guide.
Disclosed private help (my-evisas.com)
my-evisas.com is a private facilitator. We are not affiliated with the Royal Thai Government, Thai embassies, or Thai Immigration.
- We are not here to replace the government.
- Only the government grants or denies the visa. Submission does not necessarily mean a visa will be granted. The Embassy or Consulate-General may request an interview or extra documents. Visa fees are non-refundable.
- If you use assisted filing, expect two amounts: the government visa fee (paid as the portal requires) and a service fee for help. They are not the same line.
- We cannot speed up the government’s decision. Any faster internal review on our side (if offered) is our queue, not MFA processing time.

TDAC is a separate official form
The Thailand Digital Arrival Card is not a visa. From 1 May 2025, the Embassy states that all non-Thai nationals entering by air, land, or sea must complete TDAC online within 3 days prior to arrival — including visa-exemption travelers. Exceptions include transit without immigration clearance, Border Pass entry and crew; see the TDAC guide below.
Thailand Immigration’s user guide points to tdac.immigration.go.th and repeats that the Digital Arrival Card is not a visa.
my-evisas.com can assist with TDAC filing where offered — that is a form-help product, not a substitute visa. It is not the same as “avoid every site that charges for TDAC.” Official TDAC registration is free. Any optional private assistance fee is separate.

FAQ
What is the official Thailand eVisa website?
The Embassy names the e-Visa portal at thaievisa.go.th. The MFA site titles itself the Official Website of Thailand Electronic Visa. Full apply rules: eVisa guide.
Is my-evisas.com a fake site?
No. Government impersonation is one warning sign; a private-service disclosure alone does not establish that any site is trustworthy. my-evisas.com is a disclosed private company. We do not claim to be MFA or an embassy.
Can a private company file my eVisa?
Yes — that is bucket 3. The government still decides. Start on my-evisas.com.
Is TDAC the same as the eVisa site?
No. TDAC is an Immigration arrival form. eVisa is a visa channel. You may need both. See TDAC.
Do US tourists always need an eVisa?
No. From 15 September 2026, eligible U.S. passport holders visiting for tourism can generally use visa exemption for up to 30 days. Start with the exemption guide.
