Good morning folks. Is the UK 30 day visit to the Kingdom no visa requirement reciprocated visiting from Thailand to UK?. Thankyou.

Answer summary

The UK does not reciprocate the 30-day visa-free entry that UK citizens have when visiting Thailand. Thai citizens are required to apply for a visa to enter the UK, as there is no visa waiver agreement in place, which means the process can be quite challenging for them.

Absolutely not. For a Thai to get a visa to go to the UK is a mountain climb. It can be done but only by the most determined.

No, that's why UK citizens get Visa exempt and not visa waiver. Visa waiver is a bilateral agreement.
