Learn more about Tourist Visa
A tourist visa is a stamp or other document in your passport that allows you to stay in the Kingdom for a specified period of time. This type of visa is for tourist use only, so your stay must be temporary. This Thailand tourist visa for holiday can be obtained upon arrival in Thailand, or in your country of residence, from a Thai embassy or consulate. If you wish to stay a little longer to visit the country, you can have your visa extended. Some countries have agreements with the Thai government that allow their nationals to be exempt from obtaining a visa for a limited period of time in Thailand if they wish to visit the country. These nationals can benefit from the visa exemption. To obtain a leisure visa, an application form and the required documents must first be submitted to a Thai embassy.
