Thailand is ending its 60-day visa-free entry for most countries, requiring travelers to obtain a visa in advance or use alternative entry options.
Thailand's cabinet has approved the abolition of the 60-day visa exemption for most nationalities, a significant change for travelers and digital nomads who have relied on visa-free entry. This means you can no longer simply arrive in Thailand without a visa and stay for 60 days visa-free.
Instead, you'll need to apply for a visa before arrival or use alternative entry options such as the Thailand Elite visa, the Digital Nomad Long Term Resident (DM-LTR) visa, or a standard tourist visa. The 60-day exemption, which has been a cornerstone of Thailand's tourism and digital nomad appeal, is being phased out.
Thailand's 60-day visa exemption is ending; you'll need a visa to enter.
If you're planning to move to Thailand or spend an extended period there, research the visa category that fits your situation now. The DM-LTR visa is designed for remote workers and offers a long-term stay option. Tourist visas typically allow 30 or 60 days depending on your nationality and entry point. Apply through the Thai embassy or consulate in your home country or current residence before you travel.
