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

Hello everyone,

I trust that everything is going well on your end.

I have a query regarding the recently introduced visa-waiver program for Indians and Taiwanese visiting Thailand. This is Aseem from India. I'd like to know which documents are necessary for entry into Thailand and for taking advantage of the visa-free facility at the airports. As of now, my understanding is that we need to have the following: return or onward flight tickets, hotel reservations, proof of financial means, and a valid passport.

I have a few specific questions:

1. Can we opt for a border run instead of booking a return or onward flight?

1. Is it possible to enter Thailand by land, for example, through Cambodia or Laos, to utilize this facility? Is it a viable option for those entering by land?

1. What is the required amount of proof of funds for entry? Is it 10,000 THB, 20,000 THB, or even more?

1. Can the initial 30-day visa-waiver stay be extended by visiting the local immigration office?

I would greatly appreciate some clarification on these matters.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Aseem, India

Hi all! I have a stamp on arrival for 30 days when I entered Thailand. I was told it could be extended at immigration office for another 30 days. Is that true? As far as I know it could be done only for 7 days. I’m a Russian citizen if it maters. Thank you!

Hi what type of visa is this and can I extend it for 30 days? Thanks in advance.

Hi all! Which immigration office in Bangkok can I go to to extend 30 day visa exempt stay? Thank you!
