Thailand Visa Requirements for Bangladeshi Citizens
Thailand is one of the most popular tourist destinations for Bangladeshi travelers. The Royal Thai Embassy in Dhaka requires a confirmed flight reservation as part of the tourist visa (TR) application.
A dummy ticket showing your round-trip flights is accepted for the visa application. You don't need to purchase actual airline tickets before getting your visa.

For a Thailand tourist visa from Bangladesh, the embassy checklist includes:
- Completed visa application form
- Valid passport with at least 6 months validity
- Two passport photos
- Confirmed round-trip flight reservation
- Hotel booking for the duration of stay

Tips for Thai Visa Application
Always Book Round-Trip
The Thai embassy specifically requires a round-trip reservation. A one-way itinerary will not be accepted for a tourist visa.
Keep Stay Duration Reasonable
Tourist visas are typically granted for 60 days. Your itinerary should show a stay within this limit — 1-2 weeks is most common for Bangladeshi tourists.
Show Hotel Bookings That Match
Your hotel booking dates should match your flight itinerary dates exactly. Discrepancies can lead to additional questions or rejection.
Processing Time and Fees
The Thai embassy in Dhaka typically processes tourist visa applications within 3-5 working days. The visa fee is approximately BDT 4,000-5,000 depending on the type.
