Visa Details

Since 15 September 2026, Indian ordinary-passport holders visiting Thailand for tourism can use the visa exemption for up to 30 days, subject to immigration's entry decision and the stay stamped on arrival. An extension of up to 30 days is discretionary, not automatic. Complete the free Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) within three days before arrival, including the arrival day, at https://tdac.immigration.go.th/. Carry proof of accommodation, onward travel within the permitted stay, and sufficient funds; check the current conditions before travelling.
