Thailand has tightened visa rules for citizens of nearly 100 countries, including Australia, affecting both visa-exempt entry and standard tourist visa holders. The changes are part of Thailand's effort to manage immigration flows and security.

Thailand's tighter rules reshape entry requirements for nearly 100 nationalities.

The specifics vary by nationality: some countries face reduced visa-free stay periods, others now require visas where they previously had visa-exempt access, and some face new documentation or health requirements. If you hold an Australian passport or are a citizen of another affected nation, check the Thai embassy or consulate website for your country's specific rules before booking travel or planning a longer stay. The changes may also affect digital nomads and retirees on repeated tourist visas or those considering Thailand as a base. Plan ahead and confirm current requirements with official sources.
