Thailand visa requirements for Swiss citizens
Thailand's foreign ministry lists Switzerland among the countries with a 30-day visa exemption for tourism, effective 15 September 2026. That scheme replaced the earlier 60-day exemption.

Still have questions?
Our visa experts are available 24/7 on chat, email, and WhatsApp.
Do Swiss citizens need a visa for Thailand?
Not for tourist stays of up to 30 days. Thailand's foreign ministry lists Switzerland in its 30-day tourism exemption from 15 September 2026. Switzerland's Federal Department of Foreign Affairs also says travelers must complete the electronic arrival card before arrival.
I'm Swiss but live in Germany: can I apply through the Thai embassy in Bern?
No. Switzerland's Federal Department of Foreign Affairs says visa applications must be lodged at the Thai embassy in your country of residence. If you live in Germany, apply through the Thai mission there. The FDFA warns that breaking this rule can bring a multi-year entry ban.
What changed for Swiss travelers on 15 September 2026?
Thailand revoked its 60-day visa exemption on that date. Swiss citizens now fall under the 30-day tourism exemption, which covers 60 countries and territories. People who entered before 15 September 2026 keep the stay stamped in their passport.
Crossing into Thailand overland as a Swiss citizen: what should I watch for?
Thailand allows visa-exempt entries through land or sea border checkpoints only twice per calendar year. Switzerland's FDFA also stresses the importance of entry and exit stamps, especially when entering by land. Check that your passport is stamped before you leave the checkpoint.
