Get in Thailand
By Chayada Nutter
Ordinary passport holders of 41 countries, including the United States, European Union countries, Japan,and Australia, do not need a visa if their purpose of visit is tourism and if their stay in the Kingdom does not exceed 30 days. Visa-on-arrival is available at certain entry points for passport holders of 14 other nations, including India, China and the Russian Federation. Check the latest scoop from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Proof of onward transit is something of a sticky issue when flying into Thailand. Thai immigration law states that one must have return/onward ticket in order to be admitted without a visa at the airport, yet hundreds of thousands arrive each year by air with one-way tickets and the intent to leave the country overland, without difficulty. However, because the law states that the airline responsible for bringing you to will be penalised if you are denied entry, some passengers find themselves prevented from boarding their flights because they only have a one-way ticket.
It is impossible to predict which airlines will or will not permit boarding with only a one-way ticket, as this may depend on many variables, including passenger nationality and point
of departure, and contacting the airline for confirmation may produce an "official" rather than "real world" response. If denied boarding for this reason, it may be possible (if time permits!) to purchase a one-way ticket for a flight out of on the spot, and then attempt to cancel and get a refund for the ticket after arriving in (not all tickets permit this). Thai immigration requires visitors passports to have a minimum of 6 months validity and at least one completely blank visa page remaining.
