TLDR : Answer Summary
The response indicates that the Moroccan passport holder will require a visa to enter Thailand, as visa exemption and visa on arrival options do not apply to Moroccan nationals. Conversely, the holder of a Dutch passport will receive a free visa exemption stamp for 30 days upon arrival. It is also suggested that the Moroccan passport holder should apply for an e-Visa online, particularly given his long-term Belgian residency.

Yes. You need to obtain an e-Visa if your nationality requires a visa to travel to Thailand. In simple terms, it depends on your nationality or the passport you hold.

For instance, Indian nationals with a Green Card will still need to apply for an e-Visa to visit Thailand, while South Africans with a Green Card may enter Thailand without an e-Visa, due to a 30-day visa exemption.

If he is living in Belgium, with the residence card, then he can apply online for a visa.

The ONLY thing that matters is the passport.

A Moroccan passport doesn't receive visa exempt or visa on arrival, so your husband will require a visa in order to travel.

You will receive visa exempt which is a free stamp for 30 days upon arrival.
