Thailand does not publish a list of reasons for saying no to a tourist visa. So these grounds come from two places. The first is the list of papers the e-Visa site and the Thai embassy in Abuja ask for. The second is the list of people Thai law says may not enter, as the foreign ministry sets it out. Nigerians also need an NDLEA clearance and a police clearance from POSSAP. The Abuja embassy asks for a bank balance of at least 2 million naira. You apply online only. The fee is not paid back if you do not get the visa.

Where does your application stand?

Answer a few questions and see how each requirement usually reads on your facts.

  1. 1 Why are you going?

    The purpose has to be one the visa permits, and the rest of the application has to match it.

  2. 2 Who is paying for the trip?

    Money that is not yours has to be evidenced by the person whose money it is.

  3. 3 What do you do at home?

    This is the tie the officer weighs most heavily, and the one most often left unevidenced.

  4. 4 What is your travel history?

    Travel you completed and returned from is the single most useful thing you can show.

Answer all 4 questions to see the result. Nothing you choose leaves this page.
