Do British passport holders need visitor visa to go to Thailand ( 8 days)? Thank you
Answer summary
British passport holders do not need a visitor visa for stays up to 30 days in Thailand; they are eligible for a visa exemption. However, it is necessary to complete a Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) online, free of charge, within three days prior to arrival. Travelers should be wary of scam sites that may charge for this service.
