Thailand Passport & Visa Requirements

Thailand Visa Requirements 

British citizens do not need a visa for holidays to Thailand for stays of up to 30 days. 

Visa-free entry for tourism is normally limited to two entries per calendar year. If you’ve already entered Thailand twice in the same year, you may need to apply for a visa before travelling.  

Passport Validity for Thailand Travel 

Your passport should be valid for the entirety of your stay and have an ‘expiry date’ of at least six months after your arrival date. It must also have at least one blank page. 

Other Key Entry Information

All foreign nationals entering Thailand by air, land or sea must complete a Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) online before arriving. You can register for your arrival card within three days of arriving in Thailand.  

At Thai border control, you may need to show a return or onward travel ticket and evidence that you have enough money for your stay – at least 10,000 Thai baht per person or 20,000 Thai baht per family. You may be refused entry if you cannot provide this evidence.

It is illegal to bring e-cigarettes, vapes and related products into Thailand.
