TLDR : Answer Summary
The consensus in the comments suggests that whether you need a visa for a 15-day stay in Thailand depends on your citizenship. Many nationalities are eligible for visa exemption and can stay for up to 60 days without a visa. However, it is crucial to check your country's specific visa regulations, as requirements can vary. Travelers are advised to have adequate funds and proof of onward travel when entering Thailand.

Tourist visa single entry is 60 days.

Many countries get 60 days Tourist visa exemption, I believe Timothy is from one of those countries, in that case he will not need to apply for a visa.

A quick peek at your profile suggests you are an American so you do not need a visa. You can get a 60 day stamp at the border.

Don’t understand why people insist on doing anything but answering the question asked but.. 🤷‍♂️

 Because there really are stupid questions.

Why wouldn't you look at the country that you plan to visit website before you do anything?

Don't you think that's the logical first step?

 my experience has been no. People do not go to google first. If they did use google most of the groups like this would not need to exist. Same as why don’t people search the group first? Same reasons. Because they don’t!

So answering genuinely asked questions with snarky remarks and sarcasm is just a juvenile unnecessary display providing no value whatsoever.

There’s no such thing as stupid questions. What I find as stupid is leaving comments NOT answering the question asked in a group intended to answer questions. 🤷‍♂️

 There are stupid questions, and you're fighting for them.

In what universe does one not look at visa requirements on an official embassy site first?

I mean, the person is from "that" country with an abysmal reading comprehension level, but still.

 statistically speaking. MANY first time posters don’t even know what a VISA is or how to acquire one for a given destination.

What I’m fighting for is NOT scaring people away because people are assholes.

So please, please have the audacity to say you’ve never asked a stupid question? 🙄

You get a 60 day visa exemption on arrival. Just make sure you meet the requirements for adequate funds and have lodging. The airline will also require proof that you have a return ticket or onward travel tickets.

 yes agree and there's usually no shortage of unhelpful advice to go along with it.

That said, this particular question would have been easier to ask google than here. You're a good person for clarifying the facts for the OP though 👍
