    Thailand: current 60-day ordinary-passport visa exemption

    The current Consular Affairs schedule gives these ordinary-passport nationalities visa-exempt admission for tourism and short-term business engagements for up to 60 days.

    • For tourism and short-term business engagements only, with a stay not exceeding 60 days.
    • The current schedule is used because it remains linked by the 31 March 2026 Consular Affairs index. The 19 May 2026 revision notice says its changes begin only 15 days after a Ministry of Interior announcement appears in the Royal Gazette; recheck before travel.
    • TDAC must be submitted by non-Thai nationals up to three days before arrival; it is an arrival declaration, not a visa or ETA.
    • Does not establish work, residence, transit, crew, diplomatic/official/special-document, border-pass, extension, repeat-entry, security, or discretionary-admission rights.
  2. Current official routeVisa-free

    Current preferred 60-day waiver remains in force pending Gazette transition

    Thailand's current Consular Affairs schedule continues to give these ordinary passports a 60-day exemption while the five replacement notices remain unpublished and non-operative.

    • This is the preferred current baseline for the listed valid ordinary national passports, for tourism and short-term business engagements for a stay not exceeding 60 days.
    • Thailand's 19 July government notice says all five replacement Ministry of Interior notices remain pending Royal Gazette publication and that current entry conditions remain in place until the new measures take effect.
    • The announced replacement is not current law. It must not be applied, end-dated or used for ranking until the Gazette texts are published, the stated 15-day commencement period elapses and their exact scopes are independently reviewed.
    • Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Myanmar and Timor-Leste retain separately modeled bilateral ordinary-passport routes and are not duplicated in this preferred-route policy.
    • The Thailand Digital Arrival Card remains a separate arrival declaration, not a visa or ETA. Work, residence, special documents, extensions and final admission remain outside this policy.
