Thailand visa requirements for New Zealand citizens

Thailand's 60-day exemption ended on 15 September 2026. The Royal Thai Embassy in Wellington now says New Zealand passport holders on tourist trips of up to 30 days need no visa. It lists a confirmed air ticket leaving Thailand within 30 days as a condition. For a longer tourist stay, the embassy says you can get a visa before you travel. Every entry also needs the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC), filed in the 3 days before arrival.

Thailand visa FAQs

Quick answers for New Zealand citizens traveling to Thailand.

Still have questions?

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

Do New Zealand citizens need a visa for Thailand?

Not for tourist trips of up to 30 days. The Royal Thai Embassy in Wellington says New Zealand passport holders visiting for tourism for no more than 30 days don't need a visa. You still file the TDAC in the 3 days before arrival.

Do New Zealanders need a confirmed flight out of Thailand to enter visa-free?

Yes. The Royal Thai Embassy in Wellington lists a confirmed air ticket to leave Thailand within 30 days as a condition of the exemption. Book your onward or return flight before you go.

What should New Zealanders do to stay in Thailand longer than 30 days?

The Royal Thai Embassy in Wellington says New Zealanders on a tourist trip over 30 days can get a visa before traveling. You apply online through Thailand's official e-Visa system, and you don't send your passport or visit the embassy unless it asks. Once in Thailand, any extension of a visa-free stay is at the immigration officer's discretion.
