Thailand visa FAQs

Quick answers for Australian citizens traveling to Thailand.

Still have questions?

Our visa experts are available 24/7 on chat, email, and WhatsApp.

Do Australian citizens need a visa for Thailand?

No. Australian citizens do not usually need a visa for short tourist visits to Thailand. However, they must complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC), a digital customs declaration required of all foreign visitors before arrival.

What is the processing time for a TDAC for Australian citizens?

With iVisa, you choose your processing speed at checkout, and the option you pick is shown with its delivery time before you pay.

How long can Australian citizens stay in Thailand?

Australian citizens can stay in Thailand visa-free for up to 60 days, depending on entry conditions.

Can I extend my stay in Thailand as an Australian citizen?

Yes, Australian travelers may apply at a Thai Immigration Office for an extension of up to 30 days beyond the initial stay under the exemption (for example, from ~60 days to ~90). However, approval is not guaranteed and is at the discretion of immigration.

Can I do unpaid work in Thailand as an Australian citizen (volunteering of working as a dive instructor)?

Travel under the exemption must be for tourism or short-term visits (e.g., leisure, visiting family/friends). Working, long-term study, volunteering, of doing business/employment is not permitted under this exemption.

What happens if I overstay in Thailand as an Australian citizen?

You can be fined THB 500 per day for each day you overstayed your permitted stay. The fine is capped at THB 20,000 (typically reached when you've overstayed for 40+ days). Payment is normally made upon departure from Thailand at the airport or at an immigration office, in cash. However, additional consequences may be imposed: if you overstay by more than 90 days, the situation moves from a simple administrative fine to more serious consequences, including detention, deportation, and a ban on re-entry to Thailand.
