Thailand has issued an advisory outlining the requirements for Indian nationals planning to visit the country under its visa exemption facility.
From September 15, 2026, Indian ordinary passport holders travelling for tourism will be allowed to stay in Thailand for up to 30 days without a visa.
Travellers must carry a passport with at least six months’ validity from the date of arrival. They should also have confirmed return tickets, hotel bookings and clear travel plans.
Visitors must complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card within 72 hours before arriving in the country through the official website.
Indian tourists using the visa exemption facility must carry at least THB 20,000 in cash per passenger. They should keep all required documents ready before approaching the immigration counter.
The advisory said every member of a travelling group must carry the required documents individually.
Visitors with a job offer in Thailand have been advised not to use the visa exemption facility. Passengers transiting through Thailand must also carry the relevant documents for their final destination, including an appropriate visa, if required.
