Thailand visa from India
Visa-free
Apply for a visa that needs filing
You apply on Takeotrip. We file with the official channel. Government sites stay as citations below, not as the button.
Tourism up to 30 days does not need a visa from 15 September 2026 until further announcement. A longer stay needs an e-visa.
Official pages disagree. MEA's visa-free table says 60 days. The Royal Thai Embassy in New Delhi, updated 2 November 2026, says 30 days for tourism from 15 September 2026 until further notice. Both are official. Check the embassy page again before you fly.
The Royal Thai Embassy in New Delhi says a 30-day visa exemption for Indian ordinary passports, for tourism, took effect on 15 September 2026 and remains until further announcement. The embassy visa page was updated on 2 November 2026. Takeotrip does not sell an application for that 30-day tourism stay.
India's Ministry of External Affairs still shows 60 days for tourism and short business, and says registration on the Thailand Digital Arrival Card is mandatory. The embassy and MEA disagree on the length. Use the embassy page before you fly.
The official TDAC page title says the arrival card has no fee. An arrival card is not a visa. If you need to stay longer than the exemption, or your purpose is not covered by it, the embassy says every visa application goes through thaievisa.go.th. That e-visa system has been required since 1 January 2025.
Visa types we could source
- 30-day tourism visa exemption. Stay: Up to 30 days, tourism, from 15 September 2026 until further announcement. Fee: No visa fee for the exemption. TDAC: the official page says no fee. Royal Thai Embassy, New Delhi. Do not file a visa application for this stay. A Royal Thai Embassy page in Doha lists general exemption conditions, including cash of 20,000 baht per person or 40,000 baht per family, and a limit of two land or sea entries in a calendar year. The New Delhi announcement of 15 September 2026 does not repeat those figures. Verify with official source before you rely on them. No Takeotrip application.
- Tourist visa (TR), single entry. Stay: 60 days each entry. The visa is valid for 3 months. Fee: 3,000 INR, as published by the embassy. No conversion. Use this when the 30-day exemption is not enough. Medical treatment under 60 days (MT) is on the same embassy fee row. Takeotrip can file this.
- Tourist visa (TR), multiple entry. Stay: 60 days each entry. The visa is valid for 6 months. Fee: 13,500 INR, as published by the embassy. Embassy fee table on the page updated 2 November 2026. Takeotrip can file this.
- Transit visa (TS). Stay: 30 days each entry. Single-entry visa valid 3 months. A double-entry transit visa is also on the table. Fee: 2,500 INR single entry, or 5,000 INR double entry. Embassy categories also include sports (S) and crew (C) on this fee row. Read the row for your purpose. Takeotrip can file this.
- Non-immigrant visa (business, study, and other listed categories). Stay: 90 days each entry on the single-entry row. The visa is valid for 3 months. Fee: 7,000 INR for the single-entry row that covers B, IB, ED, O, F, RS, R, and M. Longer multiple-entry rows are 13,500 INR, 30,000 INR, or more. Destination Thailand Visa is 30,000 INR on the same table. The exemption announcement we read is for tourism. A business, study, or other non-tourist purpose is not described as visa-free on that New Delhi announcement. File the category that matches the visit. Takeotrip can file this.
Documents named by the official source
- The embassy visa page links a downloadable checklist for each visa row. We did not copy a photo size from that file. Verify with official source for photo dimensions, bank statements, and tickets.
- For the 30-day tourism exemption, the New Delhi announcement does not list a document pack beyond the passport and the exemption itself. MEA says the Thailand Digital Arrival Card is mandatory, preferably 3 days before arrival.
Processing time
The embassy fee table does not state how many days an e-visa takes. Verify with official source.
Fees
Exemption: no visa fee. When a visa is required, the New Delhi embassy table is already in INR: tourist single 3,000; tourist multiple 13,500; transit single 2,500; transit double 5,000; several non-immigrant single-entry categories 7,000.
Published in INR by the Royal Thai Embassy in New Delhi. No conversion.
