General Information
Do Indians need a visa for Thailand?
No, Indian citizens do not need a visa to visit Thailand, as the country offers a visa-free stay of up to 60 days for tourism purposes.
Can Indians apply for a Thailand Visa on Arrival (VOA)?
Yes, Indian citizens are eligible for a visa on arrival in Thailand, which allows a stay of up to 15 days. However, it is not necessary for tourism since the Visa Exemption Program already allows up to 60 days of visa-free stay for Indians. VOA is more applicable for short trips related to business or unpaid work requiring urgent entry.
Do Indians need a visa to Thailand for purposes other than tourism (e.g., work, study)?
Indians planning to work, study, or do business in Thailand must apply for the appropriate Non-Immigrant visa before travelling. This requires submitting extra documentation, such as sponsorship letters, contracts, or enrollment letters (depending on the purpose of your visit) at the embassy.
Can Indians apply for a Thailand visa at the embassy?
Yes, Indian citizens can apply for a visa to Thailand through authorised application centres. The embassy primarily issues two types of tourist visas:
Single-Entry Visa, which is valid for 3 months and allows a stay of up to 60 days. It costs ₹2,500 (excluding service fee).
Multiple-Entry Visa, which is valid for 6 months and allows you to enter multiple times within this timeframe, provided each stay extends for up to 60 days. It costs ₹12,500 (excluding service fee).
After submitting the complete application at the Visa Application Center (VAC), the visa is typically processed in four working days.
Do Indians need a transit visa to pass through Thailand?
No, if your layover is less than 12 hours and you stay within the international transit area without clearing immigration, you do not need a transit visa. However, if your layover exceeds 12 hours or you plan to leave the transit area, you must get the appropriate visa.
Visa Extension & Overstays
Yes, Indians can easily extend their visa-free stay by an additional 30 days. You must apply for the extension at a local Thai immigration office before your initial 60-day stay expires.
Overstaying in Thailand is a legal violation, and you will be fined ₹1,260 per day, which is capped at ₹50,240.* Overstays exceeding 90 days may result in deportation and blacklisting from future travel to Thailand.
* Note: The overstay fine is calculated in Thai Baht, so the exact amount in Indian Rupees may vary based on the exchange rate at the time of payment.
Entry & Exit Regulations
Indian citizens travelling to Thailand visa-free must carry the following documents:
Passport: The original passport, preferably with a validity of at least 6 months.
Proof of return: A confirmed return or onward travel ticket departing within 60 days.
No, travel insurance is not mandatory for Indian travellers entering Thailand.
While not mandatory, it is recommended to have proof of accommodation, such as hotel bookings or a letter of invitation, when travelling to Thailand visa-free.
No, working in Thailand without a valid work permit is illegal, even under the Visa Exemption Program. If you plan to work, you must obtain a Non-Immigrant B visa before travelling to the country.
