Yes. A visa service can prepare and submit your Thai tourist visa application for you, and we do this for the single-entry (SETV) and multiple-entry (METV) tourist visas. You pay two separate amounts: our service fee of 3,000 THB by bank transfer (3,090 THB by card), and a government fee set by the Royal Thai embassy you apply through.
You can also apply yourself. At the Singapore embassy, for example, the application is made online through the official Thai e-Visa system [1].

What you pay: two separate figures
1. Our service fee. 3,000 THB by bank transfer or 3,090 THB by card. This is our fee for preparing and filing your application. It is not a government charge.
2. The government fee. This is paid for the visa itself and depends on the embassy. It is a separate figure and is not part of our service fee. Two examples:
| Embassy | SETV government fee | METV government fee | SETV bank balance | METV bank balance |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Singapore | SGD 50 (about 1,500 THB) [1] | SGD 250 (about 6,500 THB) [1] | SGD 800 over the past 3 months [1] | SGD 8,000 over 6 months, plus an employment verification letter [1] |
| London | GBP 30 (about 1,500 THB) [2] | GBP 150 (about 6,500 THB) [2] | 20,000 THB equivalent | GBP 5,000 over 6 months [4] |
Embassy fees at Singapore are non-refundable [1] and, at London, payable in pounds sterling [2]. Other embassies set different amounts, and your embassy may be different. Use find-my-visa to see yours before you pay anyone.
Your total is both figures added together, for example (Singapore SETV, bank transfer): 3,000 THB service fee + about 1,500 THB government fee.
