Thailand Visa Exempt Entry
U.S. citizens carrying a tourist passport and in possession
of an onward or return airline ticket do not require a visa to enter Thailand.
The passport must have at least six months validity remaining to be allowed
entry. Upon entry, Thai immigration officials
will place an immigration stamp in the passport permitting a 30-day stay in
Thailand if arriving by air or a 15-day stay if arriving by land. This time
limit may subsequently be extended for an additional 7 days by paying a 1,900
baht fee to the Thai Immigration Bureau office.
NOTE: The Embassy
recommends that U.S. citizens carrying a diplomatic or official passport obtain
a visa prior to arriving in Thailand. It
is sometimes possible for diplomatic or official passport holders to enter
without a visa, but it is up to the discretion of the airline and/or
immigration personnel and you may be denied entry.
Tourist Visas
If an individual wishes to remain in Thailand for more than
30 days, he/she may wish to obtain a tourist visa at the Royal Thai Embassy or
Consulate in the United States, prior to arriving in Thailand. The tourist visa
must be used within 90 days from the date of issue and allows an initial stay
of 60 days. After arrival in Thailand, a tourist visa may be extended twice,
each time for an additional 30 days.
There is a 1,900 Baht fee for each extension.
American citizens who wish to remain in Thailand for longer
than 90 days during any six-month period will be required to obtain a valid
Thai visa from a Thai Embassy or Consulate that is authorized to issue visas.
The U.S. Embassy advises all American citizens who wish to obtain a Thai visa
to contact the Thai Immigration Bureau for exact visa requirements and
regulations. Persons who do not comply with visa regulations risk being denied
entry to Thailand at the border.
Work Visas
All foreigners interested in working in Thailand must obtain
a Thai work permit and a Thai work visa.
In order to receive a work permit, a company, foreign government, or
other organization in Thailand must file an application on the behalf of the
work visa applicant. Once obtained, the work visa is valid for one year.
Retirement Visas
Retirement visas for Thailand are available to foreigners 50
years of age or older. These visas are valid for only one year and employment
of any kind is strictly prohibited.
According to Thai immigration, applicants must meet the following
qualifications:
Applicant must be able to provide proof of a pension or
other regular income from a source outside of Thailand;
Applicant’s pension or other regular income must be no less
than the equivalent of 65,000 Baht per month.
Alternatively, the applicant may meet the financial
requirement by maintaining a Thai bank account with a minimum amount of 800,000
Baht. (Applicants will need to show that they have 800,000 Baht in savings each
year when they renew their visa.)
Any applicant married to a Thai citizen may be able to
receive a visa on that basis rather than retirement.
Visa Overstays
If an individual does not depart Thailand prior to
expiration of his/her airport permit or visa, the individual is in the country
illegally. In order to depart Thailand, it will be necessary to pay an overstay
fine. The fine for overstaying a visa is 500 Baht per day, up to a maximum of
20,000 Baht. The fine is payable to the Immigration Bureau, the Suvarnabhumi
Airport Immigration office, or other departure point.
Thai police have been known to sweep areas frequented by
low-budget travelers and arrest those who have overstayed their visas. Those arrested may be held in the Immigration
Detention Center until they can pay for their fines and pay for tickets out of
Thailand. Those who overstay their visas for more than 200 days may be required
to serve time in the Immigration Detention Center before they are deported. It
is highly advisable to avoid visa overstays.
Expired short-term visas can be extended after paying a
fine, but the number of days elapsed since expiration is subtracted from the
extension period. Application for extension must be made by the next working
day after Thailand
Visa expiration to avoid a fine.
Please note:
applications for extension cannot be made on Saturdays, Sundays, and Thai
holidays.
Thailand’s entry/exit information is subject to change
without notice.

At Airport
Payment for Duty Free
Items
While buying duty free items at Suwarnabhumi Airport,
Bangkok, please ensure that payment for each selected item is made at the
nearest counter. Items selected from shelf should not be put in any of your
personal belongings (such as a carry bag) till payment is made, as recordings
by CCTV installed at each outlet could convey a different perspective. Also, do
not carry any item outside the designated shop area (as marked on the floor)
before making payment.
·
Safe
custody of Passport
Avoid keeping passport and money together in same bag. It
might be better to keep passport in a secure pocket of personal clothing to
minimize risk of it getting lost. As per Thai regulation a visiting foreigner
is required to carry his/her passport as proof of identity.
Always carry a photocopy of your passport (copy first page,
last page, current visa page and any page with renewal information) and keep it
separately from your passport. If passport is lost or stolen, lodge a report at
Police Station of the area and get its English translation done. Apply for
Emergency Certificate at the Embassy afterwards with requisite documents as per
details given on Embassy website.
·
During
your trip
Be careful while strolling in crowded markets/shopping malls
and in public transport to avoid incidents of pick-pocketing and petty theft.
Take care of your belongings and do not leave them
unattended, for example on shopping carts.
Avoid brokers and touts offering unsolicited advice, services
and unrealistic offers.
Be careful while hiring speedboats/jet skis at Pattaya or
other beaches. People who rent these out may charge exorbitant amounts from you
for any dent or even a scratch. The Embassy has received reports of entrapment
by such people.
