    Check the source's passport, residence, travel purpose and territorial scope; this link alone does not establish that it covers your case.

Still to establish

  • No passport list is encoded for comparison. Check your passport with the authority; omission does not mean exclusion or exemption.
  • No stay limit is encoded for comparison. Confirm the permitted stay, how days are counted and any cumulative limits.

Travel purposes recorded in this source

The listed purposes do not establish permission to work or undertake other activities.

  • Tourism

Prepare and verify

  1. Verify that the official exemption covers your passport, purpose, duration and any relevant residence conditions.
  2. Check whether travel authorisations, arrival declarations or supporting evidence are required despite the exemption.

Your next checks

  1. Write down the passport you will use and its type, your country of residence and your planned activities. Residence and interface language do not replace passport nationality.
  2. List arrival and departure dates, transit stops and entry points. Check each leg separately, including whether you pass immigration during transit.
  3. Open the official instructions for that profile. Record the required documents, submission window, fees and processing guidance; mark anything the source does not confirm as unresolved.
  4. If a condition is unclear, contact the competent authority with your passport country, residence, purpose and dates. Recheck before departure and after a passport or itinerary change.
What else should I know?

Visa-free travel is not unconditional entry or permission to work. Check the permitted activities, duration and exceptions before travelling.

Exemption de visa — conditions à vérifier

Certaines nationalités peuvent entrer sans visa pour une visite autorisée. Le régime thaïlandais fait l’objet d’une révision annoncée en 2026.

Dépend du passeport, du motif, des accords bilatéraux et de la date d’entrée. Ne pas présumer que l’ancienne exemption de 60 jours s’applique encore à votre voyage.

  1. Faire confirmer le régime applicable à votre passeport et à votre date d’arrivée par le consulat thaïlandais.
  2. Si l’exemption ne convient pas, demander le visa correspondant au voyage.
  3. Préparer séparément la TDAC lorsque vous y êtes soumis.
  • L’annonce prévoit une prise d’effet après publication au Journal officiel ; cette consultation ne permet pas d’établir la date effective pour chaque régime.
