What’s changed
New rules from 15 September 2026
Thailand replaced its 60-day visa exemption. Passports from 60 countries and territories, including South Africa, the UK and the US, now get 30 days visa-free; Mauritius and Seychelles get 15 days; Azerbaijan, Belarus and Serbia get a visa on arrival. Separate agreements between Thailand and some countries still apply. Passports marked “check first” aren’t named on the new lists: ask the Royal Thai Embassy before you book.
Arrival card
Every visitor must also fill in the free Thailand Digital Arrival Card online before arriving: tdac.immigration.go.th. Sites that charge for it are not official.
Check whether you need a yellow fever certificate, especially if you travel from or through Africa or South America.
Airlines decide boarding with Timatic: check your route on the IATA Travel Centre.
