Hello All,
Good day everyone,
I have another query.
I have an additional question regarding our trip to Thailand under the visa-waiver program (India & Taiwanese), which allows us to stay for 30 days.
I raised this question to seek a more general understanding, possibly from experienced travelers to Thailand, as the official guidelines and responses from immigration have not been forthcoming.
1. Do we need to secure confirmed hotel bookings or reservations for the entire 30-day period in advance, or is it acceptable to initially book accommodations for just one week and make additional reservations once we arrive in Thailand?
1. Alternatively, is it possible to make hotel reservations for the full 30 days and pay at a later date?
These inquiries are important as we are concerned about the overall cost of traveling and staying in Thailand.
As of now, the Royal Thai Embassy in Delhi,India has not yet issued the guidelines that should have been available by this time.
In addition, I attempted to contact immigration, but unfortunately, I haven't received a response yet. This could potentially be due to a language barrier.
Thanks in advance,
Aseem,
New Delhi, IND
TLDR : Answer Summary
The user seeks clarification on whether Indian and Taiwanese travelers under the visa-waiver program must secure confirmed hotel bookings for the entire stay of 30 days in Thailand. They inquire if it is acceptable to book accommodations for just one week initially and make further arrangements upon arrival, or if full-month reservations are necessary. Comments suggest that typically, proof of hotel reservations is not required upon entry, with the focus being more on proof of funds.
