Can I travel to Thailand without a tourist visa if I haven’t received confirmation?

Question

Ok. Probably been discussed many times. I’ve tried  many times over the last couple of days trying to get the tourist visa but no response. If worse comes to worse can I still travel without that document and get it sorted at passport control.

Ask Thailand · Answer

A user is inquiring about the status of their tourist visa application to Thailand and asks if they can travel without it. Responses clarify that many nationalities, including those with UK or EU passports, do not require a tourist visa for stays up to 60 days. Instead, they need to fill out the TDAC form within 72 hours of arrival. The discussion emphasizes that if you're from a visa-exempt country, you can enter Thailand without a prior visa.

I have a UK passport but I live in New Zealand. I wrote to the Thai embassy in Wellington to ask if I should apply there for a tourist visa or the UK. They replied very quickly saying I don’t need a visa for a stay of 60 days or less. The only visa they recommended was the non O, if I wanted to stay up to 90 days.

So, you shouldn’t need a visa.

So, you shouldn’t need a visa.
