Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between visa exemption and a Tourist Visa?
Visa exemption (30 days, free at arrival for many nationalities) requires no advance application. A Tourist Visa (60 days) must be applied for at a Thai embassy before travel and offers a longer stay with an option to extend by 30 more days.
Can I extend a Tourist Visa?
Yes. You can extend a Tourist Visa by 30 days at any immigration office in Thailand for a fee of 1,900 THB. This gives you a total of up to 90 days per entry.
