Travel checklist

Thailand entry requirements: the five-point check

A concise Thailand entry checklist covering passport status, visa or exemption, TDAC, onward travel and proof of funds.

  1. Passport: confirm validity and that your document type qualifies for the rule you plan to use.
  2. Visa route: verify exemption, bilateral agreement, Visa on Arrival, or e‑Visa before departure.
  3. TDAC: submit the free official arrival card no more than three days before arrival.
  4. Travel evidence: keep accommodation and onward/return travel details available.
  5. Funds and purpose: be ready to show that the trip matches the permission requested and that you can fund the stay.

Airlines and immigration officers may request supporting evidence. A checker result is preparation guidance, not a guarantee of admission.
