Thailand visa information

For most nationalities a visa is not required prior to arrival in Thailand

Citizens of Australia, UK, US, EU Countries, New Zealand and Canada are not required to obtain a visa prior to arrival in Thailand for stays of up to 30 days. All other nationalities should check with the Thai embassy or consulate in their country of residence.

Tourist visa on arrival

To enter Thailand you will require a passport valid for at least six months beyond the date of your departure from Thailand. Tourist visas for stays of thirty days or less are issued upon arrival by air, but please note that you must carry proof of your onward travel arrangements, confirming that you will depart Thailand within 30 days, to present at immigration upon request.

Those travellers planning to enter Thailand via an overland border crossing will only be given a 15 day tourist visa. If you wish to stay longer than this you must apply for a tourist visa before you arrive in Thailand or leave and reenter Thailand before the end of the 15 days.

It is your responsibility to ensure all visa and entry requirements are met prior to your arrival in Thailand.
