General information

To travel to Thailand you generally do not need a Visa for a tourist stay not exceeding 30 days (NB: temporariy extended to 60 days).

However, certain requests such as a business trip, a long-term trip (tourism), an internship in a Thai company or an expatriation Visa (this list is obviously not exhaustive) require a Visa (obtained electronically).

Visa Travel International is an agency approved by the Thai consulate to assist you in your procedures, regardless of the type of Visa you need.

To this end, you will find on this page all the information and answers to questions that will be useful to you in order to obtain your (electronic) Visa.

If this is not the case, do not hesitate to come back to us so that we can give you all the information you need.

Do you need a Visa for Thailand ?

A trip to Thailand does not require a Visa application for nationals of the following countries (for a stay of less than 30 days): South Africa, Germany, England, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bahrain, Belgium, Brazil, Brunei, Canada, Chile, South Korea, Denmark, United Arab Emirates, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Indonesia, Ireland, Iceland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kuwait, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Monaco, New Zealand, Norway , Oman, Netherlands, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Rep. Czech, Singapore, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and USA.

Be careful, however, to inform yourself regularly about this exemption which may be questioned at any time by the Thai authorities.

NB: Like the United States (ESTA), Canada (AVE), South Korea (K-ETA), etc., which already have a similar system, Thailand will soon impose an electronic travel authorization (ETA) on travelers entering the country under the visa waiver regime (including France).

The ETA should be requested for each entry into Thailand (single entry) and ETA holders will be able to use the automated gates (Auto-Gate) at immigration checkpoints using the QR code on the ETA.

Holders of diplomatic, official, UN Laissez-Passer passports and Border Pass users will be exempt from ETA to travel to Thailand.

Visa Travel International will be able to assist you in obtaining this ETA as soon as it is implemented (expected date Q1-2025).

VTI’s advice for your trip to Thailand

Thai Embassy visa delivery leadtime information (http://www.thaiembassy.fr/fr/visa-rdv/infos-generales/):

The time from the submission of your file to the authorization (or refusal) of a visa is a minimum of one month. The delay may be longer depending on:

   – The number of visa applicants over a certain period (long waiting time especially before Christmas and the summer holidays, for example);

   – The type of visa requested and the nationality;

   – The deadlines within which you can provide the additional documents requested by the Embassy, ​​in the event that your original file is incomplete.

It is your responsibility to allow sufficient time for the visa application. The Embassy will not assume any responsibility if your visa is issued after your scheduled departure date.

You are advised not to submit your visa application more than 3 months before your intended departure because generally you must enter Thailand no later than 3 months from the date of the visa authorization

 … 

Even if it is obtained online, the procedure is complex and the issuance of the Visa can take several weeks. Rarely less than 3 weeks… Take some headroom for your travel date!
