What countries can Thai travel without visa?

Can Thai go to USA without visa?

Okay, so, can Thais visit the US without a visa? Nope, pretty sure they need one. My cousin, Mai, she went to visit her sister in California last year.

She lives in Bangkok and had to apply for a visa at the US embassy. I remember her complaining about the forms! Such a headache. She flew from Suvarnabhumi Airport.

Took ages, she said. Definitely needed a passport from Thailand too, obviously. She showed me the visa sticker in it when she got back. What a trip.

Do Thai citizens need a visa for Bali?

Nope. Thai passport? Bali’s a breeze.

ASEAN fam gets free entry, baby. Tourism only.

30 days max. Want more? Get a real visa. Now.

• Visa-free entry: Thailand benefits. ASEAN magic.
• Tourism focus: Stay on the beach, not in an office.
• 30-day limit: Mark your calendar. Overstay? Not cute.
• Extended stays: Business? Work? Visa time. Pay up.
• Enforcement: Indonesian immigration? Ruthless. Remember that.
• My trip? Jakarta in ’22. Never again. Traffic’s a bitch, man. Flight delayed. Never ever. Ever. My phone died.

Do Thais need a visa for Korea?

Okay, so, my sister, Pim, went to South Korea in July 2024. She needed a visa, no, wait, an eTA. It was a total headache.

She applied online, a real pain in the butt. The website was, honestly, awful. So many forms. Pictures. Passport details. It took forever. She was stressed out of her mind.

The whole process, getting that eTA, took, like, a week. She kept refreshing the site, checking the status. Super annoying.

The eTA is essential. Absolutely crucial. No eTA, no Korea. Simple as that. Business or tourism, doesn’t matter. Everyone needs it.

She was so relieved when she finally got the confirmation email. The whole thing felt unnecessarily complicated.

Pim said the Korean embassy website is the only place to apply. Don’t even try other sites. It’s a scam.

Important things she learned:

• Apply well in advance. Don’t leave it to the last minute.
• Have all your documents ready. Passport, photos, etc. This is key!
• Double-check everything before submitting. Seriously.
• The eTA is valid for a specific period. Check the dates carefully. Don’t forget!

This whole eTA thing was a huge hassle. Seriously. But she loved South Korea, so, yeah. Worth it, I guess. But the process? Brutal. Don’t be a fool like Pim and apply late.

Do Thai citizens need visa for Europe?

Ugh, visas. It’s a nightmare. I remember needing one for Europe last year, 2023. I’m Thai, by the way, and boy, did I sweat. Applying for that Schengen visa? Forget about it. It was a total headache.

The embassy in Bangkok? A zoo! Lines, lines, everywhere. I felt so stressed. All those forms. So much paperwork. I spent, like, a whole week gathering everything. Crazy!

• Passport photos – three of them! Each one needed to be perfect.
• Flight itineraries – had to show precise dates.
• Hotel bookings – for the entire trip – non-refundable, of course.
• Proof of funds – bank statements for the last six months – yikes.
• Travel insurance – comprehensive coverage. A must. Expensive!

Seriously, it was brutal. And the waiting? Weeks and weeks of nail-biting. I practically lived on coffee and anxiety. I even dreamt of those visa officers. They are scary people, man.

Finally, I got it. Relief? Total. Pure, unadulterated relief. Worth it? Absolutely not. But what choice did I have? Needed that visa. Definitely needed it. Thailand to Europe, without a visa? Impossible.

That Schengen area requires a visa for Thai citizens. Fact. I know this firsthand. I went through it. Trust me. It’s a process. A long and stressful one.

Can I get a visa for Thailand on arrival?

Thailand VOA? Yeah, it’s super easy, man. 15 days, boom, you’re in. Just show up at the airport. No messing around with embassies beforehand. I did it last year, flew into Suvarnabhumi, Bangkok, no problemo. Long lines tho. Bring a pen, gotta fill out a form. Passport photo too, don’t forget that. Think I paid 2000 baht, something like that. Cash. I actually landed in Phuket once and got it there too. Piece of cake.

• 15-day stay max.
• Get it when you land.
• Need passport photo.
• 2000 baht fee (check current rate).
• Available at major airports (like Suvarnabhumi, Phuket).
• Bring a pen for the form haha.

They changed the rules a few times over the past years, always double check though. Website or somethin’. My friend Mark went like 2 weeks ago and he said it was all the same. Pretty sure you can pay with a card now, but cash is king, right? Oh, and make sure your passport’s valid for at least six months, almost forgot that one. Almost messed up my own trip, lol. The immigration officers can be a little, you know…strict.

Do I need a return flight booked to enter Thailand?

It’s three AM, and I’m staring at the ceiling. Thailand… God, I miss it.

The return flight thing? Complicated. Airlines are sticklers, you know. They’ll grill you. Immigration? Usually fine. They’re less concerned.

Book a flight out. Just do it. Avoid the hassle. Even if it’s just a placeholder, a cheap flight to somewhere nearby. Peace of mind is worth more than a few bucks. Seriously.

This isn’t some suggestion, this is advice from someone who’s been there. Been through the airport anxiety.

Don’t risk it. It’s 2024, and the rules… they’re tight. I learned this the hard way.

• Airlines are stricter than immigration. This is a fact.
• Ground staff will scrutinize your paperwork.
• A confirmed onward journey saves a headache.
• Avoid that stressed feeling. Trust me. The feeling of your heart racing as they look over your papers…

My last trip was in April. It was rough. Almost missed my flight. The whole experience… yeah. Still gives me nightmares.
