Thailand, known for its pristine beaches, rich culture, and bustling cities (don’t forget the food), is a top destination for travelers worldwide. If you’re planning a trip to the Land of Smiles, understanding the Thailand tourist visa requirements is crucial. 

This guide will provide you with comprehensive information on how to apply for a tourist visa to Thailand, the necessary documents, and other essential details tailored for US, UK, and Australian citizens.

Types of Thailand Tourist Visas

When planning a trip to Thailand, it’s handy to know the types of tourist visas available:

  • Tourist Visa – Medical Treatment (MT): The Tourist Visa for Medical Treatment (MT) allows you to enter Thailand for medical treatment at registered Thai hospitals or medical facilities for 60 days or less per visit.

Ordinary passport holders entering Thailand for the following purposes must obtain one of the above tourist visas:

  • Tourism
  • A short visit to family in Thailand
  • Medical treatment at licensed hospitals
  • Participants of MICE (Meeting, Incentives, Convention & Exhibitions) supported by TCEB


Tourist Visa (TR – Multiple Entry): This visa permits multiple entries into Thailand over a specified period, usually six months, with each stay capped at 60 days.

However, it is critical to check the most recent visa exemption rules, as they can change at any time. You do not want to miss your vacation (or an authentic Pad Thai) because of visa issues.

Visit the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kingdom of Thailand, for a complete list of countries and territories eligible for visa exemption and visa on arrival in Thailand.

What is the cost of a tourist visa to Thailand?

The cost varies depending on the type of visa. A single-entry tourist visa costs 30 USD per application, while a multi-entry tourist visa can cost anywhere between 150 and 250 USD per application, depending on your nationality.

Most embassies will accept payment in your local currency. It is best to confirm the cost with your local Embassy or Consulate when making your initial inquiry.

A Thailand E-Visa will cost you 82 USD (or equivalent) regardless of your nationality. When you submit your application, you make this payment through the E-Visa secure web portal. The payment is non-refundable.

The time it takes to process a Thai visa varies depending on the diplomatic office where you submit your application. While some offices claim a 2-day turnaround, others may require more time.

From the time the Thai embassy or consulate receives your complete application, you can generally expect a processing time of 5 to 10 working days. Therefore, it’s advisable to apply well ahead of your planned travel date.

If you’re flying to Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok, you can save time by filling out your visa application form online and printing it out in advance. It’s also possible to pay an extra 200 THB to fast-track your application, which can be worth it if you’re on a tight schedule. If you’re not fast-tracking your application, try to rush to the visa channel and fill out your form while waiting in que.
