Entry requirements

A return or onward ticket and proof of accommodation may be requested at border control or at check-in. The exemption covers tourism only: working, studying or relocating still requires an appropriate visa.

Common mistakes

Do not pay any website claiming to sell a "visa" for this route: none is needed for tourist stays. Beware of unofficial intermediaries. If your purpose of travel is not tourism (work, study, long stay), check the appropriate visa with the authorities of Thailand.

A tourist stay is not the only purpose. These are the other permits the destination issues and that your nationality is eligible for, each with its own fee and processing time.
