About the Thailand visa

Thailand is one of the most popular destinations for Indian travellers, from Bangkok and Pattaya to the islands of Phuket, Krabi and Koh Samui and the hills of Chiang Mai. Indian passport holders can currently visit Thailand visa-free for tourism.

Under the current exemption, Indians can stay up to 60 days, which can be extended once by 30 days in Thailand. Every visitor must complete the free Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) online before arriving. For longer or other kinds of stay, the Thai e-Visa is available online.

Thailand visa types for Indians

Visa options, stays and fees are set by Thailand immigration and can change. We confirm the current options when you enquire.

Who can apply

• You hold an Indian ordinary passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your date of arrival, with at least two blank pages.
• Your visit is short-term, such as tourism, a family visit or business meetings. Work, study and residence in Thailand need a different visa.

• TDAC: Confirmation is instant and free once the online form is submitted.
• e-Visa: Usually about 1–2.5 weeks, depending on the visa type.
• Plan ahead: Complete the TDAC within 3 days before arrival. Apply for an e-Visa at least 2–3 weeks before travel if you need one.

Before you travel

• Thailand reviews its visa exemption rules from time to time, and stays may change. Check the current rules before you travel.
• Some websites charge a fee for the TDAC. The official form is free.
• The Thai baht is the local currency. Cards work in cities, but carry cash for markets and islands.
