This blog will provide you with what you need to know about Thai visas for Bulgarians so that you can get on to what matters: planning your Thai adventures, from exploring the Grand Palace to sampling authentic Thai street food.

Do Bulgarian citizens need a Thailand visa?

No, Bulgarian citizens don’t need a visa to enter Thailand for stays of 60 days or less.

Bulgaria, along with Bhutan, China, Cyprus, Fiji, Georgia, India, Kazakhstan, Malta, Mexico, Papua New Guinea, Romania, Taiwan, and Uzbekistan, can travel to Thailand without a visa for up to 60 days for the following purposes: tourism, business, emergency work or "ad hoc" work.

You can extend your stay for an additional 30 days through the local Thai immigration office.

iVisa travel tip: Install apps like Grab for ride-hailing services and Google Translate for language assistance. These tools can simplify navigation and communication during your stay.

Can a resident of Bulgaria apply for a Thai visa online?

Yes, Bulgarian residents are eligible for either a Thailand electronic visa on arrival (eVOA) or a Thailand Tourist Visa, depending on their nationality.

The Thailand eVOA is available to citizens of specific countries, including Bolivia, El Salvador, and 13 other nations. It allows a single entry with a stay of up to 15 days and can only be used at major Thai international airports.

The Thailand Tourist Visa is open to citizens of most countries and can be issued as a single-entry visa that allows a maximum stay of 60 days, or a multiple-entry visa that allows stays of up to 60 days each within a six-month period. It’s valid at all international entry points, including land borders.
