Thailandentry requirements

Choose the passport you will travel with to see the visa route and its conditions.

Foreign visitors submit the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) for entry by air, land or sea.

Airside transit without immigration, Border Pass entry and crew have exemptions. Foreign permanent residents and long-term visa holders still submit.

Visa exemption: Have confirmed proof of departure by air, train, bus or boat for the ordinary tourist visa-exemption route. Leave within the stay permitted for your entry route.

Visa on Arrival: Have a paid departure ticket and leave within the permitted 15-day stay.

Source clarification: The Thai Embassy in Doha mentions a ticket usable within 30 days. This does not extend the 15-day stay allowed by Visa on Arrival.

Travel insurance is recommended for ordinary short tourist visits. A general compulsory requirement for all such visitors has not been confirmed. Special long-stay visas can require insurance; check the conditions for your visa or entry route.

These conditions are for a regular tourist visit. Where you live, your visa status and the route you take can change what applies to you.

• General visitor guidance requires at least six months of passport validity and one blank page; the Visa on Arrival checklist can require two blank pages.
• Financial evidence is required, but current official pages disagree on a universal visa-exemption cash threshold. Check the conditions for your specific route.
• Health requirements depend on recent travel and transit, including yellow-fever risk areas and current disease-control measures. Passport nationality alone does not determine exposure.
