Visa-free · up to 60 days Visa-free · up to 30 days

Not in force yet — our data still shows the old rule until it is officially published.

Thailand's Cabinet approved cutting the visa-free stay from 60 to 30 days. Updated details were approved on 16 July 2026: 65 countries and territories covered — 59 get a 30-day exemption (India moves up from visa on arrival), Mauritius and Seychelles get 15 days, and visa on arrival survives for only three (Azerbaijan, Belarus, Serbia). NONE of it is in force. It takes effect 15 days after publication in the Royal Gazette, and there has been no publication. Until there is, 60 days is what you actually get at the border — and that is what we serve. Weeks, not months.
