Overview

Thai visa for witnesses and contestants in judicial proceedings, extendable throughout litigation.

This visa is for individuals required to participate in Thai judicial proceedings as witness or contestant. You must obtain formal documentation from the relevant judicial authorities. A passport valid for at least six months is required, plus proof of adequate finances (20,000 THB per person, 40,000 THB per family).

Processing takes 15–30 business days. Single entry costs 2,000 THB; multiple entries cost 5,000 THB. Initial stay of up to 90 days is extendable while proceedings remain active. No work authorization is granted.

This visa is ideal for witnesses, defendants, or plaintiffs who need temporary residence to satisfy legal obligations or participate in Thai court proceedings.
