### Documents Thailand asks Nepali applicants for
- Passport — Valid for at least 6 months beyond entry date, plus a clear copy of the bio page.
- Visa application form (3 copies) — Fully filled and signed.
- Passport-sized photographs (3) — Recent, white background.
- Proof of residence in Nepal (if applicable) — For non-Nepali passport holders only.
- Bank statement (6 months) — Min THB 20,000 per person / THB 40,000 per family.
- Confirmed accommodation booking — Hotel reservation in the applicant's name.
- Travel itinerary — Detailed day-by-day plan within Thailand.
- Confirmed airline ticket — Showing arrival and departure dates.

### Proof of funds for the Thailand family visa
Thailand expects Bank statement (last 6 months) showing at least THB 20,000 per person or THB 40,000 per family (≈ NPR 80,000 / NPR 160,000) for this class. As a Nepali applicant, show a 3–6 month bank statement plus income proof matched to your source: salary slips and an employer/leave letter if you're employed, business registration (PAN/VAT) and tax clearance if self-employed, or a sponsor's bank statement and a notarised sponsorship letter if someone funds your trip. Money that lands suddenly just before you apply is a common refusal trigger — keep the balance steady for months.

### Processing time, validity & extension
Plan for Minimum 7 working days after payment submission once Thailand has a complete file. The visa is valid Single entry: 3 months; Multiple entry: 6 months from issuance and lets you stay Up to 60 days per visit (Single or multiple). Apply at least 3–4 weeks before departure; festivals and embassy holidays in both countries can stretch the window. If you need longer in Thailand, ask about the in-country extension rule before your stay expires — overstaying jeopardises every future application.

### Before you apply: the Nepal-side prep
Every Nepali-language document — citizenship certificate, birth or marriage certificate, property papers, income proof — must be submitted with a notary-certified English translation. Family applicants need proof of relationship (marriage/birth certificate) and the sponsor's residence/status documents. Carry the original plus one photocopy of each, and make sure your name is spelled identically everywhere: passport, ticket, hotel booking and bank statement. A single mismatch is enough to trigger a query.

### Why Thailand files get refused — and how to avoid it

- Inconsistent funds — a balance that jumps right before applying.

- Missing translations — Nepali documents submitted without certified English versions.

- Mismatched dates — the flight, hotel and itinerary don't line up.

- Weak ties to Nepal — no job, study, property or family pull to return to.

- Wrong visa class — applying as a tourist for a work or study purpose.
