Local rules
Stay lengths, fees and conditions
- Since 15 September 2026, Thailand's visa exemption permits a 30-day stay for most eligible nationalities and is limited to tourism — short-term business and ad-hoc work are no longer covered. Entries via a land border are limited to two per calendar year (this limit does not apply to Malaysian, Bruneian, Indonesian or Singaporean citizens, nor to arrivals by air). Travellers who entered before 15 September 2026 keep the stay they were originally granted.
About this data
How to read these categories
Visa-free means no permission is needed before or on arrival; visa on arrival and eTA are granted at the border or online in minutes; eVisa and consular visa must be approved before you travel.
Data last verified: September 19, 2026. How we count
Openness reflects visa policy only. It says nothing about safety, government travel advisories, flight connectivity or how easy the trip actually is.
No destination-specific primary source has been recorded for Thailand yet — this column comes from the general dataset sweep rather than an individual re-verification.
