Thailand Visas and Immigration
Do you need a visa for Thailand? - Most nationalities can obtain a
30 day visa free entry stamp sometimes called ‘visa
on arrival’ without the need to apply at a Thai
embassy/consulate abroad (due to recent rule changes this is now only available on entry by air and if you cross into Thailand by a land crossing you will only be granted 15 days). If you want to stay longer
in Thailand then you can apply for a tourist visa
in advance at a Thai embassy or consulate abroad. A
single entry tourist visa is valid for 60 days
