Overview
Sixty-day visa-exempt entry for citizens of 93 countries with proof of 20,000 THB in funds, covering tourism and business.
Thailand's Visa Exemption offers 60-day visa-free entry for citizens of 93 qualifying countries, providing a streamlined gateway for tourism, business visits, and short-term professional activities. Available at no cost, this scheme eliminates pre-departure visa applications, requiring only a valid passport, proof of sufficient funds (20,000 THB per individual), and evidence of onward travel.
The entry is granted immediately upon arrival and is extendable once for 30 additional days (1,900 THB fee). Remote work is permitted, but primary employment is prohibited. Spouses accompanying the applicant cannot work. Processing takes only 1–5 minutes at the immigration counter upon arrival.
This visa is ideal for tourists, business travelers, and digital nomads seeking short-term access to Thailand without bureaucratic delays.
