Thailand visa & immigration

What travellers usually need before flying to Thailand. Rules change — always confirm on the official sites.

Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)

Complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card before you fly. It replaced the old paper TM6 card. Keep the confirmation on your phone at immigration.

Visa or visa exemption

Many passports enter Thailand visa-free for tourism. Others need a tourist visa from a Royal Thai Embassy or e-visa. Check your nationality on the Immigration Bureau site — BookMyThai does not issue visas.

At the airport

Have your passport, TDAC confirmation, return or onward ticket, and hotel voucher ready. Officers may ask where you stay. Instant BookMyThai vouchers are accepted as proof of accommodation.

Need a hotel letter for a visa file?

Embassies often want a confirmed hotel booking. Book the stay on BookMyThai, then message Help — the Bangkok desk can send a confirmation letter on company letterhead.
