Single-Entry Tourist Visa (TR)การตรวจลงตราประเภทนักท่องเที่ยว (TR)

A single-entry visa, obtained before arrival, for tourism. It permits one entry and a stay of up to 60 days, extendable once by 30 days. Applied for from outside Thailand, now overwhelmingly through the official Thai e-Visa system.

Duration

Stay of up to 60 days per entry. The visa must be used (entry made) within 90 days of issue. Single entry only — leaving Thailand voids the remaining stay.

Extensions

Extendable once for 30 days at a Thai Immigration office (extension fee 1,900 THB — as of 2026-05-24).

Financial requirement

Evidence of adequate finances, commonly cited as bank statements showing at least 20,000 THB per person / 40,000 THB per family. Exact rules vary by the embassy/consulate or e-Visa jurisdiction — confirm with the issuing mission (as of 2026-05-24).

Fees

Fee varies by where you apply — there is no single global figure. Roughly USD 30–50 at embassies/consulates abroad, around 1,000 THB if issued in-country; e-Visa pricing varies by jurisdiction. Always confirm the current fee on thaievisa.go.th for your country.

Processing time

e-Visa processing typically takes several business days; embassy/consulate timelines vary. Confirm on thaievisa.go.th.

Who it’s for

• Tourists from countries not on the visa-exemption list
• Visa-exempt nationals who want a guaranteed 60-day stay (useful given the May 2026 reversion of exemption to 30 days)
• Visitors planning a single trip for tourism, visiting family or friends, or short leisure
• Not for work, study or business — those require Non-Immigrant visas

Key documents

• Passport valid 6+ months with at least 2 blank pages
• Completed e-Visa application (or embassy form)
• Recent passport-style photo
• Proof of onward/return travel
• Proof of accommodation in Thailand
• Proof of funds (see financial requirement)

Staying compliant

• TDAC required before arrival (free, online, within 72 hours; mandatory since 1 May 2025)
• TM.30 address notification by the accommodation host applies
• 90-day reporting does not apply to a stay this short
• Overstay penalised (500 THB/day, capped; bans for longer overstays)

Common pitfalls

• Not using the visa within the 90-day validity window after issue
• Insufficient proof of funds or no onward ticket
• Applying expecting a fixed global fee — fees and rules vary by mission
• Booking through unofficial “agent” sites that mimic thaievisa.go.th
• Treating it as multi-entry — it is single entry; leaving the country ends the stay
