      Hello, Anurag Khurana.

      You will need a passport with a validity of at least 6 months or more to travel to Thailand on a Tourist Visa.

      Hello, Jose Luis.

      Unfortunately you will not be able to come to Thailand through the Visa on Arrival or through the Visa Exemption Scheme, as Guatemala is not one of the listed countries. If you wish to come to Thailand, you will need to apply for a Thai visa.

      Hello, Apurba Sarkar.

      If you’re only intending to stay in Bangkok for 5 days, then a Visa On Arrival will be the easier way around, as you will be permitted to stay in Thailand for a period of 15 days.

      Dear Navjot,

    hi i m Sujata from India, planning to travel to Phuket in Aug 2022 along with my 4 year old baby, I have been vaccinated with 2 doses of Co-vaxin but have not taken booster dose, is it fine or do i have to take it before coming

    • July 26, 2022

      Hello Sujata,

      You are considered fully vaccinated if you have already your second dose vaccine. Just provide your proof of vaccine for your travel requirement in Thailand.

      Thank you.

    • June 17, 2022

      Dear Rinchen,

      Yes, all of you will pay 2000 THB each for the visa on arrival. You will pay for it when you land in Thailand. Also, please make sure you register for Thai Pass before you come to Thailand.
      Thank you.

    hello, I live in Dominican republic but Haitian by origin, I’d like to apply for a tourist visa but there’s no Thailand embassy where I’m living so how do I do that please?

    • September 10, 2020

      Dear Isabelle,
      If there is no Thai Embassy in Dominican Republic, you may check the Thai Embassy in your neighbouring countries if they can process your visa next year when the travel ban is lifted.
      Thank you.

    My friend is 17 and from Bulgaria, I am 18 and I am from India. Can my friend still get visa on arrival being 17 years old, provided she has all the other requirements?

    • April 27, 2020

      Visa on Arrival for Indian and Bulgarian has been suspended until September 30th. As for the age requirement, it is actually a requirement of the airline for an adult to accompany the minor to travel.

      Thanks

    • May 11, 2020

      Yes visa on arrival has been suspended until September 30 and also, no foreigners will be allowed to enter Thailand for the whole month of May. If you wish to stay in Thailand more than 14 days, it is recommended that you will apply for a Thai tourist visa issued at Thai Embassy in Saudi Arabia.

    Hi, I want to go to Thailand. Can I go now or do I need a medical certificate? I’m 67 years old.

    • In order for you to enter Thailand you need the following: present a valid Health Certificate with a negative COVID-19 laboratory test result issued within 72 hours of flight departure upon check-in. The lab test and examination date must be clearly stated on the health certificate and health insurance document that provides at least USD 100,000 COVID-19 coverage in Thailand.

    My friend holds a Russian passport and he needs to do VISA on arrival or he can come to Thailand without VISA because I see in the list of Visa on arrival have Russian on the list please make it clear. Thank you.

    • Russian passport holders may still enter Thailand under the 30-day bilateral agreements between Thailand and Russia. Aside from the passport, the traveler must present a valid Health Certificate with a negative COVID-19 laboratory result issued within 72 hours of flight departure (applicable to all nationalities) upon check-in. The lab test and examination date must be clearly stated on the health certificate and health insurance document that provides at least USD 100,000 coverage in Thailand.

    Hi
    We are Danish citizens going for a package trip to Phuket with TUI for one week, my son’s password expires on 03JUN2019, will that be ok for visa on arrival?

    • November 13, 2018

      For the Thai immigration, it will be fine. Kindly contact the airline company if they will allow your son to board with nearly expired passport.

      If you have work visa in Malaysia, you can apply for a Thai tourist visa at the Thai embassy in Malaysia. You must have a visa before flying to Thailand.

    Hello,

    I am a confused about the requirements.In some websites the dimensions for photo is 4×6 but in some others is 3.5×4.5 . Also, the amount of cash in some websites is 10.000per person and 20.000 per family but in some others is 20.000 per person and 40.000 per family. Is there any change to the requirements? Which one is the correct?

    Thank you
