Fee-exempt entry permit for diplomatic personnel and government-invited individuals, valid for 30-90 days depending on entry type and sponsoring agency.
The Courtesy Visa is a specialized entry permit issued by the Royal Thai Government as a gesture of diplomatic goodwill, designed for holders of diplomatic, official, or UN passports traveling for non-official purposes, or for ordinary passport holders invited by the Thai government for official tasks.
The visa is fee-exempt and grants 30 days on single-entry permits or up to 90 days on multiple-entry visas. It is renewable and typically processed within 3 to 10 business days. Dependents may accompany the primary visa holder if they meet documentation requirements. No work authorization is granted.
This visa is ideal for diplomats, UN officials, and government-invited guests requiring formal entry to Thailand for temporary official or diplomatic purposes.
