Four visa-free entries are possible if you arrive at an international airport and have sufficient cash. I usually stay for 21 days and fly back. Immigration in Bangkok told me that the total stay in Thailand cannot exceed 180 days. My balance is 84 days per year.
I am 86 years old and have a DVT Medical Wellness visa. I applied for it myself 10 days ago. I sent all the documents requested by the embassy (20 pages), including my hospital appointment in April 2026. I am now waiting for a decision; if it's not approved, no problem. My plan B is visa-free entry every four months, a 21-day stay in Thailand for my health update, and then departure. I would also enter similarly with a DVT visa, but definitely not for a long-term stay of 180 days.
Nothing is sure or complete only complicated. Got from Thai Embassy suggesting, 1 week before departure Europa I should check travel rules for Thailand and keep original vaxin documents and copy of travel insurance with me
Thai Europa Embassy working excellent, EU French get 30 day visa exempt entry, 2 time one year, extension in Thailand for 30 Day THB 1.900 posspossible
That's true, for myself come without Visa, only for 30 days, Sandbox System, Thai Passport registration. Before Corvid19 was easy, booking ticket, go to airport, Hallo Thailand. Somtime I read about Visa, expiry, extend or overstay problems from forigner. My impression is, You and some Moderator here, are very well informed about Visa Rules and therefore you are so helpful in this community. Gratulation and Greetings from 🇦🇹
