Is a Tourist / TR visa a “Non-Immigrant” visa?

Trying to use the new ExpatVac site, but no option for Tourist /TR….

Answer summary

No, a Tourist / TR visa is not classified as a Non-Immigrant visa in Thailand. The comments clarify that tourists do not fall under the non-immigrant category and are generally not eligible for certain benefits, such as vaccinations available to expats.

If you want the vaccine, my advice is to keep watching your country's embassy's website, the various hospitals, and any trade groups you belong to and see if there's any that allow you to sign up with a tourist visa. I don't think there's anything else that can be added, so I'm closing comments.

No. Tourist Visa or visa exempt is not a non-immigrant visa. Tourists are not eligible for vaccine

A tourist visa is NOT a Non-Immigrant class visa. Tourists are not normally expats.
