Thailand grants visa-free entry of up to 60 days to passport holders from many countries, including the United States, when arriving by air or land with an onward ticket. Business travellers not covered by exemption should apply for a Non-Immigrant Visa B in advance, and all foreign nationals must complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) online within three days of arrival.
Estimated cost: USD 0 for visa-exempt entry. Thai e-Visa and Non-Immigrant B fees are set by the Royal Thai mission handling your application and are listed on thaievisa.go.th.
Processing: Visa-exempt arrivals require no advance application; e-Visa and Non-Immigrant B applications should be started several weeks before travel to allow for document review and appointment slots.
Carry a passport valid for at least six months, proof of onward travel, and hotel plus show registration confirmations. Complete the mandatory TDAC online within three days before arrival to avoid delays at Bangkok immigration.
