Hello everybody, me going to visit beautiful Thailand in April, alrdy got Both my flights to BKK and back to Vienna, stay is <30 days.. do I need any Forms to fill or is it possible for this stay to just get a Visa on arrival?

Thanks in advance

Answer summary

As an Austrian citizen, you do not need a visa for your stay in Thailand of less than 30 days. You can enter under the visa exemption rule, which allows a stay of 60 days. However, you must fill out the TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) online within 72 hours prior to your arrival. It's advisable to keep a copy of the TDAC on your phone and a paper copy as well. Ensure your passport is valid and carry 20,000 baht or an equivalent amount in your currency.

Valentin Scharf one problem mate, for some stupid reason people are saying to fill out TDAC within 3 days of arriving, this is bad English, that would imply you could do it once you've arrived,l. You must go online and fill it out within 3 day of your ARRIVAL date, I know it sounds like I'm being pedantic, but I'm really not, and if you already understood correctly, that's great!

It makes no difference where you fly from. If you hold a passport entitled to visa exempt entry and you don't have a history in Thailand you will get stamped in for 60 days. If you hold a passport that entitles you to a visa on arrival you buy a visa when you land in Thailand and will get stamped in for 15 days

You are Austrian, you dont need any visa. You are allowed 60 days.

Within 3 days of arriving, fill in the official TDAC online easy. Keep a copy on your phone and paper. Show with your passeport. Happy holsx
