Visa rules for tourists travelling to Thailand

Whether or not you need a visa for Thailand will depend on a number of factors. This includes your nationality and your length of stay in Thailand. The information here is aimed at tourists. If you aren’t visiting as a tourist or are planning to stay long-term in Thailand, there are different visas available depending on your circumstances.

There is no one-size fits all policy when it comes to immigration and visa issues in Thailand. Visa regulations are also subject to change. Please check with the Royal Thai Embassy or Consulate in your home country for the latest information.
