TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, Thai citizens can visit both the Philippines and Hong Kong without a visa. Thai passport holders can enter the Philippines visa-free for up to 30 days for tourism, provided they have a valid passport and proof of onward travel. Similarly, they can visit Hong Kong also visa-free for up to 30 days for tourism or business, with the same passport and travel proof requirements. Extensions are possible if needed.

Yes, Thai citizens can visit both the **Philippines** and **Hong Kong** without visas under certain conditions. Here's a detailed breakdown:

### 1. **Philippines**

- **Visa-Free Entry**: Thai passport holders can enter the Philippines **visa-free for up to 30 days** for tourism purposes.

- Requirements include a passport valid for at least six months beyond the intended stay and proof of onward travel (e.g., return ticket) .

- Extensions for longer stays can be applied for upon arrival at the airport or through the Philippine Bureau of Immigration .

### 2. **Hong Kong**

- **Visa-Free Access**: Thai citizens enjoy **visa-free entry to Hong Kong** for short stays.

- The allowed duration is typically **30 days** for tourism or business purposes, provided the traveler has no intention to work, study, or establish residency .

- Visitors must also show proof of sufficient funds and onward/return tickets unless transiting to Mainland China or Macao .

### Key Considerations:

- **Entry Requirements**: Both destinations require a valid Thai passport (with at least six months validity) and adherence to immigration rules (e.g., no unauthorized employment).

- **Extensions**: For stays exceeding the visa-free period, visas or permits must be secured in advance through embassies or immigration offices .

For further details, refer to official sources like the [Hong Kong Immigration Department](

Yes, now in May 2025, with great advances in A.I., the various GPT's, and search engines in general, answers can be found in milliseconds, but may not be 100% correct and may not go into specific details, exceptions, or other nuances

Congratulations! You get the award for being the millionth person to post this.

@Tom ******
Then i guess its a very correct comment. Happy many many agree
Tom *******
Yes, it's true, there are many people like you who offer nothing original or interesting.
Margaret ********
Yes
Willem ****
Yes no visa for both
Willem ****
@Martin ********
Starting a discussion can be done different. Ask what you really looking for.
Willem ****
I found the answer in 2 minutes using google. You make a post and wait much longer to get your responces.
Martin *********
@Willem ***
it opens up discussion. That’s why we have threads like this. I’m interested to learn why so few countries allow Thais to visit Visa free? 
Lexington *******
@Martin ********
Err no. This group is for advice not discussion.

You want to discuss and learn about Thailand's immigration and treaty laws then there are many other groups for that.
Martin *********
@Lexington ******
there doesn’t seem to be much advice on this thread. Just people like yourself complaining about the originators question.
Willem ****
@Martin ********
And to answer about visa free for Thais its all about agreements between coutries. ASEAN is a good example. But that not include China.

Here's how you can find help:

1. Open Google.

2. Type your question.

3. Press Enter.

You're welcome.

... and going by his profile, he is a Trump hater. I thought they were supposed to be the smart ones 😁

so let's close this page down and just Google everything?

@John *******
Read the group name, "Thai Visa Advice" ;)
John ********
@Graham *****
yes, it's for people to ask for advice, and not to just be told to Google it. My comment was sarcasm.
Muchlis ********
@John *******
why there is so much facebook group if we can ask anything in this group only?
Graham ******
@John *******
So why ask for advice about foreign visas on a Thai Visa advice group?
Eryk ************
@John *******
If someone asks you a question like "how much is 2 + 2?", would you answer it or suggest using Google or going back to school? By the way, you might not have noticed, but my response was actually advice - just like this group is meant for. He asked, I replied, and I even provided a tip on how to solve similar problems on his own. So, what's the issue?
Jeremy ********
@Eryk ***********
AI is so much better
Eryk ************
@Jeremy *******
Yes but probably too difficult for him.
Sasha ***********
@Eryk ***********
yes, maybe the case but him, along with a lot of us retirees own multiple properties, have healthy retirement incomes and are living a great life… you still have to get there yet!

I’d rather that than know how to navigate around a keyboard. So how about a bit of respect mate!
Muchlis ********
@Sasha **********
he respect him thats why he give advise on how to find answer for simple question on fastest way.
Eryk ************
@Sasha **********
Which part of my comment is disrespectful, "mate"? Also, since when is "owning properties, having healthy retirement incomes, and living a great life" a measure of being smart? What's even the point of mentioning that? Am I supposed to congratulate you or something? Is that meant to prove how smart someone is? You do realize that having money doesn't necessarily mean someone isn't an idiot, right? Besides, why can't we flip your narrative and say that this guy doesn't respect our time because he's too lazy or dumb to do any research himself, hmm?
Jeremy ********
@Eryk ***********
some people are technology slow
Eryk ************
@Jeremy *******
True, however it's really fascinating that some people are smart enough to discover this group, but not smart enough to use Google for such a trivial question.
Jeremy ********
@Eryk ***********
I have learned people like to hear from other people who have done it…me personally I like to put wrong answers then have to defend it as the SME’s come out of nowhere to show me how dumb I am…
