The Thailand Tourist Visa Guide (Single & Multiple Entry)

The majority of foreign nationals are able to enter Thailand on a visa exemption stamp.

This means that when you enter Thailand you are given a stamp at the immigration desk that allows you to stay in the country for 30 days.

Okay, so now you're clear on how long you can stay when you arrive without a visa, what if you want to stay for 6 weeks, or 2 even months?

In this case, you can apply for a Tourist Visa before you travel.

In this FAQ guide, I'll answer all common queries regarding the Thailand Tourist Visa, both single and multiple entry.

1. Where can I get a Tourist Visa?

A Tourist Visa can be obtained from a Thai embassy or consulate in your home country, or a country outside of Thailand, if you live abroad or are already traveling.

You can also apply via the E-Visa online system. Indeed, some embassies may no longer accept applications for Tourist Visas and instead require you to apply online.

The E-Visa is delivered via email. You can then print it out and present it to immigration on arrival.

What different types of tourist visa are there?

A. single entry.

The Single Entry Tourist Visa is valid for 3 months from its date of issue. It allows a single stay of a maximum of 60 days.

B. Multiple entry

The Multiple Entry Tourist Visa is valid for 6 months from its date of issue.

It allows an unlimited number of entries within the 6-month validity of the visa. Each entry allows a maximum stay of 60 days.

For example, if you leave Thailand on the 59th day of your stay and re-enter the country a day later, you will be stamped in for a further 60 days.

What documents do I need to get the Tourist Visa?

The requirements may vary slightly between country, but this is usually what's required from your local embassy.

• A completed visa application form with two recent passport type photos attached. The form can be downloaded from your local Thai embassy website.
• Your passport must have a minimum 6 months remaining validity, and at least two blank pages – this is so your visa can be added to the passport, and for entry/exit stamps when entering and leaving Thailand.
• If you reside in a country but are not a citizen of that country, then you will be required to show a visa or residence card that permits you to stay. You will also be required to show evidence of where you live, by way of utility bill, bank account statement, or driving license.
• Two recent passport size photographs. You can get these done at a photo booth (in a mall or store) or at some print services shops.
• Confirmation of travel (flight tickets).
• Proof of accommodation in Thailand: this can be a copy of your hotel booking or a letter from the family or friend you are staying with.
• Copy of bank statement to show proof of earnings. This requirement will differ between countries, and differs for the single and multiple entry visas. For example, for a Single Entry Tourist Visa from a US Thai embassy, you will need a copy of your bank statement showing $700 per person and $1,500 per family. For a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa, you will need a copy of your bank statement for the last 6 months showing a minimum balance of $7,000 (every month).

Thailand's E-Visa System

If you are applying online through the E-Visa system, you will require the following documentation:

• Passport or travel document with a validity of not less than 6 months.
• Photograph taken within the past six months.
• Evidence of travel to Thailand (air ticket paid in full).
• Evidence of adequate finance (20,000 Baht per person and 40,000 Baht per family).

Please note that you are not required to submit any supporting documents in person at a Royal Thai Embassy or Consulate after completing the E-Visa application. Once approved, a confirmation e-mail will be sent through and you can  print a copy of the confirmation e-mail to present to airline and Thai Immigration officials.

You can apply online here: https://www.thaievisa.go.th

Historically, Thailand's online systems have always fallen way short of expectations, with browser compatibility issues, bugs, broken links, etc., but the new visa system is working pretty well.

For those who deem themselves digitally challenged, there is a comprehensive user manual. This manual is also available as a series of how-to videos, which are very helpful. You can find the manual here.

How much does a Thai Tourist Visa cost?

The cost varies between country, but here is the cost for the US and UK:

• US: Single – $40. Multiple Entry – $200
• UK: Single – £30. Multiple Entry – £150

How long does it take to process a Tourist Visa?

If you attend the Thai embassy in person, the process will take around 5 working days. If you apply by mail, the process will take a minimum of 15 days.

Applying online will take 6-10 working days.

This is a general guideline and will differ between countries, and may be longer or shorter depending on how busy the embassy/consulate is.

I would personally allow 2 weeks if applying in person or online, and 3 weeks if applying by mail. This will ensure you get your visa before your flight date.

When is my Tourist Visa valid from?

The Single Entry Tourist Visa is valid 3 months from date of issue, and the Multiple Entry Tourist Visa is valid for 6 months from date of issue.

When you enter Thailand, you will be stamped in for 60 days.

Note: The expiry date of the visa shows on the visa sticker as ‘ENTER BEFORE'. When you enter Thailand, you will receive a rectangular stamp in your passport stating your date of entry and the ‘ADMITTED UNTIL' date. This date will be exactly 60 days after your date of entry

What happens if I leave Thailand before my 60-day stay is up?

If you leave prior to your 60-day stay ending, the remaining days will be forfeited.

If you think you will want to leave Thailand and re-enter, you should get a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa.

The Multiple Entry Tourist Visa is valid for 6 months from date of issue. You are allowed unlimited entries within the 6-month period of the visa. If you exit Thailand, as long as you re-enter before the visa expires, you will be stamped in for a further 60 days.

Can I extend my visa inside Thailand?

For those who want to extend their stay in Thailand, you can extend the 60-day Single Entry Tourist Visa by 30 days at a local Immigration Office. The fee for the extension is 1,900 Baht.

Under the Multiple Entry Visa, you can extend one of the 60-day stays by a further 30 days. The cost is the same.

Under the Multiple Entry Tourist Visa, by saving the 30-day extension for your final entry, you can accumulate almost 9 month's stay in Thailand.

Can I cancel my visa and get a refund?

No. The visa fee is non-refundable.

Can't I just do border runs instead of getting a Tourist Visa?

Because you are granted 30 days stay on arrival in Thailand, in theory you could just leave over a land border after 30 days and return the same day, activating a further 30 day's stay.

This is known as a border run . People used to stay in Thailand for years just going back and forth over the border.

However, the current rule is that if you enter Thailand over land without a visa, you are allowed a maximum of two 30-day entries within any rolling 12-month period.

With a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa, you can go in an out as many times as you want within the validity of the visa.

60 Day Tourist Visa Thailand 2024 – All You Need To Know

If you’re planning on visiting Thailand then you need to be sure of visa requirements. 

Luckily, most people can enter Thailand for 30 days without a visa. However if you’re wanting to stay a little bit longer then you do have other options. 

I’m a regular visitor to Thailand and I’ve applied for the tourist visa before so I know how it works.

In this guide, I’ll tell you everything you need to know about the 60 day tourist visa for Thailand including how to apply, how much it costs, how to extend it and more.

P.S. I update this page regularly to ensure the information is up to date. This page was updated for 2024.

Table of Contents

30-day Tourist Visa Exemption

Passport holders of certain countries don’t need a visa when entering Thailand for tourism purposes and can stay in Thailand for a period of up to 30 days. 

You’ll simply get a stamp in your passport and don’t have to pay anything.

Please note that between October 1 2022 and March 31 2023, the Thai government did extended this to 45 days in a bid to boost tourism following the pandemic but this has now reverted back to the original 30 days.

You can only use this scheme up to 2 times a year if you’re traveling by a land border and up to 6 times a year if you arrive at the airport.

Countries under this scheme include the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and most of Europe (see the full list here ). 

There are currently 64 countries on this list so please check to see if your country is listed.

What You’ll Need:

Once you arrive in Thailand, head over to immigration.

Be sure to have the following documents:

• Proof of adequate finances for the duration of your stay – 10,000 baht per person or 20,000 baht per family. They rarely ask for this but have it prepared just in case.
• Proof of onward travel e.g. a plane ticket. A bus/train ticket should be fine but there have been reports of these being rejected. I was asked to prove this on my recent entry into Thailand.
• Proof of hotel or Airbnb stay . Again, I was also asked for this when I entered Thailand recently. I just showed a copy of my Airbnb confirmation and they accepted it.

If you are wanting to stay in Thailand longer than 30 days then you can apply for a visa. 

There are 2 different tourist visas available that will give you 60 days in Thailand.

You do need to apply in advance. You’re not able to apply for either of them after you’ve entered Thailand.

Here’s a quick overview:

• SETV: single entry, 60 days only
• METV: multiple entry, 60 days each time

Single Entry Tourist Visa (SETV) – Overview

This visa will allow you to stay in Thailand for up to 60 days from the date of arrival.

This visa is valid for 3 months meaning once issued you must enter the country within 3 months else it will no longer be valid.

As it is a single entry visa, you can only enter the country once. Once you enter, you have 60 days before you need to leave.

You can apply for the single entry tourist visa in any country. I cover exactly how to apply for this visa below.

Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (METV) – Overview

This visa is valid for 6 months from the date of issue.

As it is a multiple entry visa, this means that during the 6 months of validity, you can enter Thailand multiple times – you just can’t stay longer than 60 days on each visit. 

So theoretically, every 60 days, you could just take a flight out of Thailand and come straight back to activate another 60 days.

You can only apply for a multiple entry tourist visa in your home country.

60 Day Tourist Visa Thailand Cost

Here’s how much the 60 day Thai tourist visas cost:

• Single Entry Tourist Visa (SETV) – $50 (£30)
• Multiple Entry Tourist Visa (METV) – $200 (£150)

How To Apply For 60 Day Thai Tourist Visa

If you’re planning on using the 30-day visa exemption scheme then you don’t need to apply for anything. You will be allowed entry upon arrival and they will simply stamp your passport.

To apply for the tourist visa (either SETV/METV), you can do this online on the Thai E-Visa website . 

You should submit your application at least 15 working days before your planned travel date however most applications will be processed within a few days.

Mine took 4 working days to be approved.

You can also apply at the Thai Embassy in the country you’re in. You can check the directory here to find the closest to you.

What Do I Need To Apply For A Visa – Required Documents

Required documents:

• Passport/travel document valid for at least 6 months.
• Photograph of yourself taken within the last 6 months.
• Return or onward journey ticket e.g. plane ticket showing travel out of Thailand.
• Evidence of adequate finances – at least 20,000 baht per person/40,000 baht per family. A bank statement or pay slip should be fine.
• Proof of accommodation e.g. a hotel booking, Airbnb booking, letter of invitation from a family member.
• Confirmation of legal residence in your country e.g. a passport, driver’s license etc.

I actually applied for the SETV recently and was approved. I will say that the whole application process is really annoying and appears to be way more complicated than it needs to be.

The first thing to know is that the Thai visa website uses the same application form for every type of visa . 

This includes the tourist visas, students visas, work visas etc so the form includes a lot of irrelevant questions that don’t apply to tourists but it asks you anyway.

As an example, it asked me for the identity of the person inviting me to stay in Thailand.

As a tourist, nobody was inviting me to stay in Thailand so I was super confused about what they wanted me to upload.

I emailed the Thai embassy to ask what I was supposed to submit but I never received a reply unfortunately.

In the end, I just uploaded a blank document that says ‘I’m applying for a tourist visa so nobody is inviting me to stay’ and it was accepted.

It’s really annoying that they don’t tailor the form to each individual visa because I’m sure this confuses so many people.

My advice is that if the question doesn’t seem relevant and you literally can’t answer it then just upload a blank document and write the reason why you can’t provide it. I did this and it was accepted.

Important Information

After you arrive in Thailand, ensure you carefully check the immigration stamp so you don’t overstay your visa. The stamp will state the day you have to leave by.

The day of arrival counts as a day i.e. if your visa is valid for 60 days, the day of arrival will be day 1.

If you overstay your visa then you’ll have to pay 500 baht per day as a fine and you might be banned from re-entering Thailand for up to 10 years.

Extending Your Tourist Visa In Thailand

If you want to stay longer than your visa allows then you do have the option to extend your visa for 30 days by going to an immigration office. 

You can also now apply for a visa extension online but after it’s approved you’ll still need to go to the immigration office to get the stamp.

It costs 1,900 Baht (£45/$55) to extend your visa for 30 days. The extension is available for all visa types including the 30-day exemption, the SETV and the METV.

• If you have the 30-day exemption, your stay will be extended from 30 to 60 days.
• If you have the SETV/METV, your stay will be extended from 60 to 90 days.

All you need to do is fill in a few forms so it’s pretty easy but it regularly takes a few hours due to how busy the immigration office is.

You can only apply for this extension once per visit.

• Completed application form for extension (TM.7 form)
• Proof of onward travel from Thailand
• 2 passport photos taken within the last 6 months

There are immigration offices all over Thailand especially in the main tourist locations like Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket, Krabi etc. 

Check out this helpful map for the closest office to you.

Can I get a 90 day visa for Thailand?

There is no 90-day visa however if you want to stay for 90 days you can get one of the 60 day visas (either SETV or METV) and extend the visa for 30 days at an immigration office whilst in Thailand.

When do I need to leave?

Upon arrival your passport will be stamped with your arrival date and an expiry date. 

Make sure you leave Thailand before midnight on the expiry date e.g. if your expiry date is the 9th August, you need to leave by 23.59 on the 9th August.

Can I apply for a visa in Thailand?

No, you cannot apply for a visa in Thailand. If you don’t have a visa when you arrive, you can get the 30 day visa exemption but cannot apply for the 60 day visa. 

For the SETV, you can apply in any country outside of Thailand. For the METV, you need to apply in your home country.

Do I need to book an onward flight?

You may be asked for proof of onward travel when you arrive in Thailand. I was asked for this recently and had to show my plane ticket.

There have been some reports of people being denied entry if they have a bus, train or boat ticket rather than a plane ticket. It should be fine but I’d get a plane ticket to be safe.

To be honest, most of the time you won’t be asked for any proof but it is a possibility so it’s best to have something prepared or you could be denied entry. 

A copy of your booking should be enough.

How can I apply for a Thai visa?

As mentioned above, you can apply online on the Thai E-Visa website . You can also apply in person at any Thai Embassy/Consulate.

Can I do a border run/visa run to get another visa exemption?

This used to be a really popular method of staying in Thailand. You could head to a nearby border, cross over and then cross back into Thailand activating another 30 day visa exemption.

Unfortunately, Thailand has cracked down on this and it is no longer possible. You can only enter Thailand on the 30 day visa exemption scheme twice a year via a land border.

You can still enter up to 6 times a year via an airport though.

If you have a METV, you can do a border run to re-activate your visa for another 60 days.

Can I be refused a visa extension?

Technically yes but this is very rare. If this does happen you will still get a 7 day extension. There are no appeals.

Can I extend my visa multiple times?

No, you can only extend your visa by 30 days once each time. If you leave the country and come back you could then extend it again.

Visa Exemption List

The below countries don’t need a visa to enter Thailand and can stay for 30 days. Exception: Cambodia and Myanmar can only stay for 14 days.

And that’s it!

Thanks for reading this guide on the 60-day tourist visa in Thailand. 

I try to update this page as often as I can to ensure all the information is still up to date but I’d still recommend checking with your local Thai embassy to ensure you’re eligible.

Your Comprehensive Guide: How to Apply for a Thailand 60 Day Tourist E-Visa

Last updated on December 18th, 2023 at 06:38 am

Dreaming of an extended getaway in Thailand? A Thailand 60 day tourist visa can make that dream a reality. In this detailed blog, we’ll walk you through the process of applying for a Thailand 60-day tourist e-visa. Embrace the excitement as we guide you through each step with a positive and active voice, providing clarity and confidence in obtaining your visa. With our guide’s help, you’ll be well-prepared to fill out the e-visa application form and embark on a journey filled with cultural wonders and breathtaking landscapes.

How to Apply for 60 day Thailand Visa

Thailand visa exemption rule.

The Visa Exemption Rule allows tourists from the United States to enter Thailand without a visa for a maximum period of 30 days. In order to be allowed into Thailand you must have a confirmed return ticket or an onward ticket showing that you are flying out of the country within the 30 days of entry.  You will also be required to have funds of at least 10,000 THB (about $280 USD) per person during your stay. This 30 day time limit may subsequently be extended for an additional 30 days by paying a 1,900 baht fee (around $53 USD) to a Thai Immigration Bureau office. 

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 generally 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 at the discretion of an immigration officer once for an additional 30 days with the total period of stay no longer than 90 days.  There is a 1,900 Baht fee for the extension.

Thailand 60 Day Visa Requirements 

Before applying for Thailand Tourist Visa we will need to gather the following required files.  Files will need to be either is .Jpeg, .Jpg or PDF file with a limit size of 3MB.

• Photo of Biodata Page of Passport

Thai Tourism Authorities Propose to Unlock 60-Day Visa Exemption for European Tourists

National —

European travelers could potentially soon enjoy 60 days of exploration in thailand without visa requirements, as reported by the thai tourism and sports ministry..

Minister Sudawan Wangsuphakijkosol stated on Monday, November 13th, that the tourism ministry is contemplating proposing to the Thai Cabinet to extend the visa exemption period for visitors from 50 European countries from 30 days to 60 days.

The objective is to revitalize Thailand’s tourism industry, building upon the currently effective exemption for visitors from China and Kazakhstan.

According to Ms. Sudawan, in the initial stage, the extension will mainly encompass countries in and around Europe, including the UK, Germany, Scandinavian nations, and the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), such as Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan.

She explained that European visitors account for about 20% of foreign arrivals to Thailand, and the majority of high-spending visitors originate from this region. Therefore, with the waiver extended, it will encourage these travelers to explore Thailand even more extensively and for a longer duration, she said.

“The Tourism and Sports Ministry and the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) are discussing the extension together,” Ms. Sudawan revealed.

Last year, European tourists stayed an average of 18.55 nights per person, spending an average of 66,000 baht per trip. However, during the early period of 2023, their spending surged to over 80,000 baht per trip.

The TAT has established a revenue target of 2.5 billion baht from foreign visitors for the year 2024. Additionally, Thai domestic tourists are expected to contribute another 1 trillion baht to the industry, aiming for a total tourism revenue of 3.5 trillion baht next year. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=–=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Confirm you’re free to get married in Thailand

What British nationals need to do to get married in Thailand, including what documents you need.

Check eligibility and the documents you need

Check the laws in Thailand to make sure you can get married. There’ll be certain local conditions you have to meet. Contact the local district office, also known as an ‘amphur’ (amphoe) or ‘khet’, to make sure you understand all the eligibility requirements to get married in Thailand, including what documents you need.

Your marriage will be recognised in the UK if:

• you follow the correct process according to the law in Thailand
• it would be allowed under UK law

Keep a copy of your Thai marriage certificate as evidence of your marriage. You may want to get it translated into English, especially if you want to use it outside of Thailand. Find a qualified translator .

Marital status affirmation

In most provinces in Thailand, British nationals need a marital status affirmation and a certified copy of their passport to get married. Check with the person conducting your ceremony or venue before you apply to make sure you need a marital status affirmation.

Once you’ve received your marital status affirmation and certified copy of your passport you’ll need to get them translated into Thai and ‘legalised’ (certified as genuine) by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Thailand. You should allow enough time to do this between your embassy appointment and your marriage ceremony.

If your partner is a British national

They should make their own application for a marital status affirmation.

If your partner is not a British national or Thai national

Your partner should contact their nearest embassy to find out what documents someone of their nationality needs to get married in Thailand.

How to get a marital status affirmation

• Apply online and pay £50 for your marital status affirmation and £25 for the certified copy of your passport (£75 in total).
• Book an appointment at the British Embassy Bangkok. 
• Attend your appointment where you can check all the information in the affirmation and make any corrections.
• Make your declaration and sign your affirmation.

Book your embassy appointment for at least 7 days after you apply for an affirmation so consular staff have time to check your documents. 

Up to 52 appointments are available every week, usually on Tuesdays and Thursdays and can be booked up to 45 days in advance. During peak periods you may have to wait up to 3 weeks for an available appointment. Once you have applied for the service you can keep accessing the booking system to check if different appointments are available. 

You’ll need to bring the originals of the documents you upload to your embassy appointment. If you do not do this, your application will be cancelled and you’ll have to apply and pay the consular fees again.

Your partner does not need to attend your embassy appointment.

You’ll get your affirmation at the end of your embassy appointment. The district office will accept it for 3 months from the date of issue but you can only get married during the month you stated within your application, which is also stated on your affirmation. 

For example, if you applied online for an affirmation on 10 June, stated your intended marriage was 5 September, and booked an embassy appointment for 15 July, your affirmation would be dated 15 July and the district office would accept it for any marriage date during September.

Apply for a marital status affirmation online

To apply for your affirmation online you’ll need:

• the month you intend to get married
• your UK passport
• proof of your permanent address
• your partner’s passport – or national identity card if they’re not a British national
• the names and addresses of 2 referees who do not live in Thailand
• proof any previous marriages or civil partnerships have ended
• a credit or debit card to pay for your affirmation

If any documents are not in English or Thai, you’ll need to upload these along with a  translation into English or Thai, and bring the original document and translation to your embassy appointment. Find a qualified translator .

Your referees should be non-Thai nationals living outside of Thailand. They can be anyone who knows you, including family or friends, and do not have to be the same people who witness your marriage ceremony.

Make sure you have all details and documents with you before you start your application. The application will time out if you’re inactive for 20 minutes. You can either scan your documents or take photos on your mobile phone.

It will take about 35 minutes to apply and pay for your affirmation online.

You should not apply for your affirmation more than 3 months before your intended date of marriage. Most district offices will only accept affirmations dated up to 3 months before your marriage. 

Your application will be cancelled if you do not attend an embassy appointment within 3 months of submitting your application. We will not refund your application fee.

Apply for a marital status affirmation .

Provide proof of your address

If you live in Thailand, use your ‘Tabien Baan’ (yellow book) or pink ID card as proof of your Thai address. If you do not have one of these, check with the district office what they need to accept your affirmation. You may need to use one of the following as proof of a UK or other address outside Thailand:

• DVLA-issued driving licence
• bank or mortgage statement, or other letter from your bank 
• utility or Council Tax bill, not including a mobile phone bill
• tenancy agreement or Housing Association rent card – or the equivalent in your country
• HMRC tax demand or self-assessment statement

Your proof of address must be dated within the last 3 months, unless it’s a residence permit or driving licence.

If you change your address after submitting an application, bring evidence of the new address to your embassy appointment. Consular staff will update your affirmation with your new address before it’s printed.

Find out more about providing proof of address .

If you’ve been married or in a civil partnership before

You’ll need one of the following:

• a decree absolute or final order – or the equivalent in the country where it was issued
• your annulment certificate
• your civil partnership dissolution
• your partner’s death certificate and marriage certificate

You’ll need to bring the original of the documents you upload to your embassy appointment. If you do not have the original documents, you can order a UK decree absolute or final order from a divorce, dissolution or annulment. You can also order a UK death certificate .

If your divorce, civil partnership dissolution or annulment took place outside the UK, you’ll need evidence that you or your ex-partner lived in or were a national of that country at the time.

Your marriage ceremony

Take your affirmation and a certified copy of your passport to the district office where you are getting married on the agreed date. The district office must be in the province stated on your affirmation. 

The registrar will conduct the marriage ceremony and give you 2 identical marriage certificates in Thai. You can also pay a fee for the registrar to marry you at your chosen venue.

Religious ceremonies are not valid on their own. The registrar must conduct a ceremony.

Multiple Entry Tourist Visa for Thailand

Thailand has long been considered the tourist hub of South East Asia. People will arrive in the country, enjoy their time, and then head out to explore neighboring countries. Because of its welcoming locals, rich culture, exquisite food, beach, and mountain getaways, people know they will return. Many foreigners stay in Thailand for months and barely scratch the surface of discovering this beautiful country. This is why a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa is the perfect travel solution.

Foreigners can enter Thailand for a holiday in many ways. If they are limited in time and are from a Visa Exempt country, they can visit for up to 30 days without needing a visa through Thailand’s Visa Exemption scheme . This scheme is open to 64 nationalities from around the world. If someone is not eligible for a visa exemption, they can organize a 15-day Visa on Arrival when they arrive in Thailand.

These are good if you are short on time or only intend to visit once, but to truly experience Thailand, you need time. If you plan to visit multiple countries during your stay in Asia, the Multiple Entry Visa is the quickest and cheapest way to plan your holiday.

What is a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa?

A Multi-Entry Tourist Visa allows foreign nationals unlimited entry to Thailand over a 6-month period. It is issued to people who visit the country for tourism, leisure, or medical purposes. 

A multi-entry visa allows the holder to stay in Thailand for up to 60 days per visit. A person could visit the islands in the south of Thailand, relax on the beach and learn to scuba dive for two months; fly to Vietnam and enjoy the sights of Saigon for a week or two; and then return to Thailand’s northern mountains to experience animal sanctuaries, Lan Na culture, and cook northern Thai food.

With a multi-entry visa, people can enter either by air, land, or sea. Many people arrive by plane and then leave by train or boat.

The visa is valid for 6 months after it is approved. This means that people have 6 months to use the visa and enter Thailand as often as they like from the date their visa is approved. It is easy to confuse visa validity with time spent in the country. Validity is how long you have to utilize or use the visa before needing to apply for a new one. Time in the country is the 60-day permission of stay. A stamp is placed in your passport for 60 days when you arrive, so a visitor can arrive on the last day of their visa validity and still get a full 60 days to stay in Thailand.

How to apply for a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa

Many nationalities can now apply for their Thailand Multi-Entry Tourist Visa online at https://thaievisa.go.th/home . This system was updated during Covid and is often the simplest way to obtain a visa.

When applying for a visa online, applicants need to create an account and apply as individuals. Once the account is created, individuals will need the following documents:

• A current passport with no less than 6 months validity beyond the date of departure from Thailand and at least 2 blank pages. Applicants must complete online visa applications with their given name(s) and surname matching their passports.
• Printout of visa application form submitted online, with barcode
• Travel booking confirmation
• Proof of accommodation in Thailand, e.g. hotel booking, invitation letter from family or friend in Thailand
• Financial evidence showing a balance of 200,000 Thai Baht (approx. £5000, USD$5,5000, Aud$8000). This is to prove financial stability over a 6-month period. e.g. bank statements, proof of earnings, sponsorship letter from employer
• Confirmation of legal residence in the country where the application is submitted  (if applicants are not nationals of these countries) e.g. long stay visa, residence permit, BRP card

E-Visa applicants do not need to submit their passport and original supporting documents in person at a Royal Thai Embassy or Consulate. After the e-Visa application has been approved, a confirmation email is sent to applicants. It is best to print a copy of the confirmation email when you are ready to travel. This will be presented to airlines and Thai Immigration officials when traveling to Thailand.

Certain countries are not eligible to apply for an E-Visa because additional documents are needed for approval. 

If you are unsure if eligible for an online visa or do not have access to the online application process, you can contact your local Thai Embassy and organize an appointment. Immigration requirements can change without notice, and many embassies will not allow walk-ins, so it is best to contact the embassy when you are ready to apply. They will confirm the costs and paperwork required.

Minimum documents needed:

• Passport with 6 months (after the intended date of departure from Thailand) validity and at least 2 empty pages.
• Visa application form completed and signed
• Proof of travel booking
• Proof of Accommodation
• Financial evidence – Bank statement or proof of earnings (equivalent to 200,000 Thai Baht)
• Letter of acceptance from institutes or companies organizing activities (if traveling for the purpose of scuba diving, martial arts, or culinary learning) 

All documents in a foreign language must be translated into English or Thai and certified before they will be approved.

The cost of a multi-entry tourist visa can vary from country to country, but an estimated cost is $150 – $250 USD. It is important to note that many embassies will only accept payment in $USD. Confirm cost and currency with your local Embassy or Consulate when making an initial query.

If you are applying online, the E-Visa system will confirm the payment due and process the payment through their secure payment portal.

Assistance with Visa Applications

The process for applying is straightforward and can be done yourself. If you would like help confirming documents are correct before lodging your application or wish to receive approval without going back and forth to embassy appointments, you can enlist the services of a Visa Assistance Agent . These agents are aware of current immigration requirements and will confirm documents are correct to avoid delays. They will liaise with embassies and consulates on your behalf.

Agents will charge a fee for their service but often save you time and money in the long run. They streamline your application process and speed up your approval. Agents can assist with online applications, though you may be required to pay the visa fee directly through E-Visa secure payment portal.

Tourist Visa Restrictions

As noted above, Multiple Entry Tourist Visas are for tourism, leisure, or medical purposes only. Foreigners cannot earn income, study long-term, or conduct volunteer activities in Thailand if they have entered with a tourist visa.

If you wish to take part in any of the above activities, you will need to look at long-term visa options. You can contact your local Thai embassy to discuss options, or seek assistance from a Visa Agent to apply for a long-term visa .

Arriving in Thailand

When you arrive in Thailand, you will need to provide the following documents at Passport Control:

• Passport with approved visa attached (if you applied at an Embassy)
• Confirmation letter of visa approval (if you applied online)
• Confirmed exit flight from the country no later than 60 days
• Confirmed accommodation (at least for the first night in the country)
• Current financial or bank statement showing funds available (200,000 Thai Baht equivalent)

A good practice is to print copies of these documents. Entry approval is at the discretion of immigration officers and presenting hard copies of these documents will speed your processing through Passport Control and help ease congestion at the airport.

Extending your Tourist Visa

If you decide you would like to stay for longer than 60 days before visiting somewhere else, it is possible to extend your stay in Thailand. Visitors with a Multi-Entry Tourist visa can extend their time in the country by 30 days by visiting a local Thai Immigration Office. An extension of stay will cost 1900 Thai Baht and must be paid in cash (Thai Baht) when applying for the extension. 

When you extend your stay, a new stamp will be placed in your passport for 30 days from the date you are at immigration, so it is best to do this towards the end of your 60-day visit.

You need to visit the office before your current stay period expires. Staying in the country past your exit date will cause an “overstay” and you will be fined 500 baht per day after your official exit date. An overstay is noted in your passport and can affect future visa applications. This extension of stay is only available in the country.

It is important to note that Thai Immigration offices are not open on weekends.
