It’s not a scam, just bad website
It’s not a scam, it’s the original website to apply for e-visa. That’s really sad, though.
Uploading the documents didn’t work, took me more than 5 trys. You’ll have to enter all data again. After more than two hours I completed a process that usually takes about 10 minutes.

do not use this website also do not use…
do not use this website also do not use any visa agents in Bangkok, both approaches are just scams. the only way to get a visa extension honestly in Thailand is walking inside the Immigration office and playing their games and do not pay 1 penny more than the official price or you are a sucker.

Scam
Bad website. No subsequent viewing of documents possible. Claim that the number of my passport does not match the picture sent. Visa application rejected, EUR 70 lost. No telephone number, no e-mail address for complaints. Fraud.

Administration for eveeeeeer….
Administration for eveeeeeer….
Rarely found people so picky for a visa application: cannot read properly this time, send me some more proof that time, bank details need to be signed and stamped, all in pdf please, but nothing more than 700Ko… Seriously?
I did quiet a few visa for various country, and here, it really feels they do not really want us to get it!
On the phone they ask me to send mails, and by mails each reply is a BOT, or a person who is not really considering the mail content.
Last year i submit an application for a 6 months visa (175 euros), but they did not deliver it to me in time, and wrote me a mail THE DAY AFTER MY ARRIVAL (that was amazing!!!) telling me to send them a new flight ticket and new reservations for hotels…
I asked them not to reject my demand (as they wished to docause i was already gone) but to keep it in their system for me to complete it and renew it for my next trip when i’ll be back in my country.
As my new trip was coming up i sent them a mail telling them that my application was still valid, and asked them which documents did they want me to renew: i received a BOT mail telling me that everything should be in pdf and each one ot more than 700Ko… (so… which documents sir??? hummm). So i bought my ticket and did all what was needed to renew ALL of it.
I finally received a mail kind of: “sorry but we cannot access your application anymore, and you will have to proceed for a new one” WHAT??? (175 euro for the new one…)
So nope, also i really appreciate thai people and their amazing kingdom, i’m not neither happy, neither convinced about the efficiency of this company.
But wait, as i had my new flight, i paid again, did all good (more or less), and after 2 months, i’ve got it…
I’m sure they’ll do better for you! Might just have been bad luck, isn’t it?

Scam and rip off
Scam and rip off. They pretend they don’t understand what you are sending them, asking nonsensical questions to prevent you from getting visa for 60 days or more. In result you have to fly out of the country and back every 30 days. They are stealing your $200 application fee.

Very frustrating.
Payment sent but no confirmation. Fingers crossed this works!
Below are the analyze and conclusion of us about above reviews
Review 1 (Karzov): This review expresses extreme dissatisfaction, giving the website a 1-star rating. The user claims the service is only useful for individuals residing in their home country, questioning its overall purpose and labeling it “stupid” and “pointless.” This is a strong negative signal and indicates a significant limitation or misunderstanding of the service provided. It lacks specifics about the user’s situation or what they were trying to accomplish, making it hard to fully assess the validity of the claim. However, the strong negative language suggests a genuine negative experience.
Review 2 (Cryst): This review provides a neutral rating of 3 stars and offers a clarifying statement. The user identifies the site as the “official Thai government website” but warns about a fraudulent site, “thaievisa.org,” which pretends to be the official source. This review doesn’t critique the legitimate site’s functionality but highlights the presence of a phishing scam attempting to exploit users. It’s valuable as it confirms the legitimacy of the domain in question while simultaneously cautioning users to be wary of imitations.
Review 3 (Didi Peilo): This review, while also assigning a low 1-star rating, states that the site is the “original website to apply for e-visa.” However, the user details significant usability issues, including problems uploading documents and data re-entry, turning a 10-minute process into a multi-hour ordeal. The review suggests the website is technically legitimate but poorly designed and frustrating to use. The specific details provided, such as multiple upload attempts and data re-entry, add credibility to the complaint.
Review 4 (Dan): Another 1-star rating, this review advises against using the website and visa agents in Bangkok, claiming both are scams. The user suggests the only legitimate way to get a visa extension is by going directly to the Immigration office and paying the official price. This review alleges widespread fraudulent practices within the Thai visa system, which goes beyond just the website’s functionality. The user suggests alternative direct method is a red flag for potential issue from other channel.
Review 5 (German Visa Applicant): This review strongly condemns the website as a “Scam,” assigning a 1-star rating. The user reports issues with document viewing, a passport number mismatch claim, visa application rejection, and financial loss (EUR 70). They also cite the lack of contact information for complaints as evidence of fraud. The level of detail, including the financial loss and specific issues with document verification, lends weight to the scam accusation. The lack of contact information is also a red flag.
Review 6 (jean): This review is lengthy and details a very frustrating experience. The user assigns a 2-star rating. They describe overly picky administration, repeated requests for documents in specific formats, and unresponsive customer service. The user also recounts a previous application that was delayed and ultimately unusable, resulting in a financial loss (175 euros). While they eventually received a visa after reapplying, the overall tone is negative, highlighting inefficiencies and a lack of consideration for the applicant. The specifics, such as file size limitations and the delayed application, add to the credibility of the negative experience. The final statement of receiving the visa can indicate this is just a bad experience and not a fraud website.
Review 7 (Gianni Rodari): This review assigns a 1-star rating and labels the website a “Scam and rip off.” The user claims the website intentionally creates obstacles to prevent users from obtaining longer-term visas, forcing them to leave and re-enter the country frequently. They allege that the $200 application fee is being stolen. This is a serious accusation of deliberate deception and financial exploitation.
Review 8 (Ben M): This review is short and to the point, assigning a 1-star rating. The user reports trouble uploading documents, page freezes, and a lack of payment confirmation. While brief, the description of technical difficulties aligns with some other negative reviews. The user’s uncertainty about whether the payment went through is a significant concern.
thaievisa.go.th likely legit but problematic
Note: The above statement is just my personal opinion, you should check carefully at the sources and make the right decision for yourself.
