Entering Thailand

Foreign nationals may enter the country through various land checkpoints, airports and seaports all over the country. The most direct way to get to Bangkok is to fly using commercial airline to Suvarnabhumi Airport (IATA code: BKK) or Don Mueang International Airport (IATA code: DMK). These are well-connected airports servicing many major carriers from all over the world.

Currently, citizens from a selected number of nations may enter Thailand for tourism purposes without a visa for a limited time period. That being said, many nationalities are still required to apply for a visa upon arrival or from their home country.

We strongly advise to check entry and visa requirements related to visitors from your country before making travel arrangements. For accurate information please contact the Royal Thai embassy/consulate in your home country or visit the Thai Immigration Bureau official website HERE.
