Media & Press Visa

There are two types of Media Visa's in Thailand as follows:

• • Short Term (For specific events, less than 90 days)

  • Long Term (Up to 1 year, renewable)

You must allow about 1 full month at least to go through the application process. Below are the various links that will guide you through the process. Be aware that you need lots of documents.
