Thailand visa for Indian citizens
Indian ordinary passport holders can visit Thailand for up to 30 days for tourism. File your TDAC in the 3 days before arrival and carry a confirmed return ticket.
Thailand visa requirements for Indian citizens
From 15 September 2026, Indian ordinary passport holders get Thailand's 30-day visa exemption for tourism, replacing the earlier 60-day exemption. The Royal Thai Embassy in New Delhi announced the change, and the Embassy of India in Bangkok confirms it. The Embassy of India also advises anyone with a Thai job offer not to use the exemption. Travelers with another purpose apply for the matching visa through Thailand's official e-Visa system. Every entry also needs the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC), filed in the 3 days before arrival.

Thailand visa FAQs
Quick answers for Indian citizens traveling to Thailand.
Still have questions?
Our visa experts are available 24/7 on chat, email, and WhatsApp.
Do Indian citizens need a visa for Thailand?
Not for a tourist trip of 30 days or less. The Royal Thai Embassy in New Delhi announced that Indian ordinary passports moved from the 60-day exemption to the 30-day list on 15 September 2026. The Embassy of India in Bangkok advises anyone with a Thai job offer not to enter on the exemption. If you entered before the change, the stay stamped in your passport still applies.
Can I enter Thailand on the visa exemption if I have a Thai job offer?
No. The Embassy of India in Bangkok advises visitors with a job offer not to use the visa exemption. It describes the exemption as covering Indian ordinary passport holders entering for tourism. For any other purpose, apply for the matching visa through Thailand's official e-Visa system before you travel.
Are Thai visa applications in India still accepted on paper?
No. The Royal Thai Embassy in New Delhi says all visa applicants must apply through Thailand's official e-Visa system, in effect since 1 January 2025. Consular services at the embassy are by appointment only. Indian tourists staying up to 30 days don't need a visa, but they do need the TDAC.
What does the Embassy of India in Bangkok tell Indian tourists to carry?
Its advisory asks visitors to carry confirmed return tickets and confirmed hotel bookings. In a group, every member should carry these documents individually. If you are transiting Thailand, carry the papers and any visa your final destination requires.
