Hi, I fly to Phuket from the uk December 29th, I have booked 2 nights in a SHA hotel, and I will training martial arts from January where the gym will organise a 12 month visa for me, I’m wandering will I need a visa of some sort for the few days prior to me getting to the gym? Thanks.
TLDR : Answer Summary
You may not need a visa for a short stay in Thailand if you're eligible for a 30-day visa exemption stamp upon arrival. However, ensure you complete the Thailand Pass process to receive your QR code prior to your arrival.
