Hi,

Do I need a visa for a 2 week holiday in May ?
Answer summary
The necessity for a visa to enter Thailand for a 2-week holiday in May largely depends on the traveler's nationality. Citizens from several countries, including the UK, enjoy visa exemptions for short stays (up to 60 days). Furthermore, starting from April 28, 2025, all foreigners are required to fill out the TDAC online form before entering Thailand. The completion of this form, which requires information like passport details and travel address, should be done at least three days prior to arrival.

UK has visa exemption for 60 days. You will have to fill out the new online arrival card 3 days prior to arrival though (at least 3 days before arrival, but access isn't available until the 28th of April i think)

Starting by activation on April 28th 2025, the filling out of the TDAC online form becomes mandatory for all foreigners who wish to enter Thailand

This includes expats who are holding valid stay permits who are returning from a trip abroad.

You should prepare all the information that is needed to fill out the TDAC, in the "Notices" folder of your phone.

Like passport number, date of issue, issued by whom, date of birth, your full name, the address in Thailand, etc. By being prepared, you can just copy and paste it into the TDAC online form.

It takes 5 minutes max to fill out and submit

Then wait for the email confirmation. Print it or keep it in the “notices” folder of your smartphone

the question about the visa was already answered by 3 others. However they forgot to mention the TDAC. That's why I added this very crucial information. Incomplete replies need a completion 😉

That depends on what passport you have, which you have not included in your post so we have no way to tell you if you need one or not.
