Visa snapshot

High-signal visa framing for Western passports — not a substitute for consular advice.
Typical duration
Many Western passports receive a visa exemption stamp on arrival for tourism—commonly up to 60 days depending on nationality and entry channel, subject to change.
Entry type
Arrival formalities
Rules change without notice. Airlines, Timatic, and embassies can disagree — confirm everything before you book non-refundable flights.
Why visa answers online go stale fast
Thailand adjusts entry rules more often than most travellers expect — fee changes, e-arrival systems, and airline document checks can all shift without a headline in Western media. A blog post from last year is not a reliable source for French passport holders today.
The practical approach is to treat web guides as orientation, then confirm against official portals and your airline’s latest requirements. LandedGo focuses on what long-stayers actually experience: extension windows, reporting obligations, and border patterns that rarely appear in embassy FAQs.
Planning length of stay before you book flights
The most expensive visa mistake is optimising for the cheapest flight without checking how many days you truly need on the ground. Padding two or three buffer days before exit can save an emergency extension. If you might stay longer, understand whether Thailand allows in-country extensions or requires a visa run — that single decision changes where you should base yourself in week one.
