Overview

The Royal Thai Embassy in Brasilia (Embaixada Real da Tailândia) is Thailand's diplomatic mission to Brazil, located on the Avenida das Nações in the embassy sector of Brazil's capital. The embassy also covers Guyana and Suriname. Brazil is South America's largest country and Thailand's most important trade partner on the continent. The Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) is mandatory since May 2025 for all travellers to Thailand.

Visa Services

All visa applications must be submitted online via thaievisa.go.th. TDAC mandatory since May 2025. Consular/visa email: consular.bra@mfa.go.th. Appointments required for all consular services.

Consular Services

The consular section works by appointment only, arranged in advance through consular.bra@mfa.go.th — there is no walk-in counter. Thai nationals in Brazil, Guyana, and Suriname use it for passports, civil registration, legalisation, and consular assistance; general enquiries go to thaiembassy.bra@mfa.go.th.

Service Area

The embassy covers Brazil, Guyana, and Suriname.

Appointment Information

The chancery on Avenida das Nações, Lote 10 — Brasília's embassy row along the lake — keeps office hours Monday to Friday, 09:00-12:30 and 14:00-17:00, closed on the embassy's holidays. Consular business happens strictly by prior appointment via consular.bra@mfa.go.th. One phone line answers: +55 61 3224 6943. The two mailboxes split cleanly: thaiembassy.bra@mfa.go.th for general enquiries, consular.bra@mfa.go.th for visas, consular matters, and the appointments themselves.

Special Notes

Brazilian ordinary passports enter Thailand visa-free for 90 days under a bilateral agreement — the same generous arrangement Argentina, Chile, and Peru hold, a month longer than the standard 60-day exemption. It covers tourism only; work and study still need an e-Visa. Residents of Guyana and Suriname handle Thai affairs through Brasília — there is no resident Thai mission in Georgetown or Paramaribo.

Frequently asked questions

How long can Brazilians stay in Thailand without a visa?

90 days with an ordinary passport, under a bilateral agreement — a month longer than the standard exemption most nationalities receive. It covers tourism; the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) still must be registered online within three days before arrival, and work, study, or retirement need an e-Visa regardless.

How do I apply for a Thai visa from Brazil?

Entirely online: create an account on the official e-Visa portal thaievisa.go.th, select the visa type, upload the documents, and pay by credit card — the approved visa arrives by email for printing. The embassy accepts no paper applications; questions go to consular.bra@mfa.go.th.

Can I just walk into the Thai embassy in Brasília?

Not for consular business — the section works by appointment only, arranged in advance through consular.bra@mfa.go.th. Office hours run Monday to Friday, 09:00-12:30 and 14:00-17:00, on Avenida das Nações, Lote 10, in the embassy sector.

Does the Brasília embassy also cover Guyana and Suriname?

Yes — the Thai foreign ministry accredits it to both, and neither Georgetown nor Paramaribo has a resident Thai mission. Residents there apply through the online e-Visa system naming their country of residence; Brasília processes the applications and handles consular matters by appointment.

What is the TDAC and do I need it with a Brazilian passport?

The Thailand Digital Arrival Card is a free, mandatory online arrival registration for every foreign traveller since May 2025, completed within three days before arrival — visa-free 90 days or not. It is not a visa and does not extend any right of stay.
