Thailand Visa & Entry FAQs
Quick, clear answers to the visa questions Indian travellers ask most.
Do Indian tourists need to pay for a visa upon arrival in Thailand?
Under the current 60-day visa exemption scheme, Indian tourists do NOT pay any government visa fees. You proceed straight to the standard immigration counter for free entry stamping.
Can I extend my stay beyond 60 days while inside Thailand?
Yes. You can visit any local Thai Immigration Office (e.g., Chaengwattana in Bangkok or Jomtien in Pattaya) and apply for a 30-day extension by paying the standard 1,900 THB government fee.
Do immigration officers strictly check cash funds?
Random checks do occur. It is strongly recommended to carry at least 10,000 THB in cash or loaded on a Forex card per traveler (or 20,000 THB for a family) along with valid return tickets.
