The Thailand tourist visa, commonly referred to as the "TR" visa, offers travelers the opportunity to explore the Land of Smiles for up to 60 days. Since November 22, 2021, Thailand has embraced a digital approach, exclusively issuing electronic visas, known as eVisas or Electronic Travel Authorizations (ETAs). This advancement significantly streamlines the application process, as applicants need only submit a copy of the main page of their passport featuring a photo. Once processed, the ETA is conveniently sent directly to the applicant via email.
The 'TR' tourist visa now supports both single and multiple entries, with each stay permissible for up to 60 days and extendable for up to a total of six months. Travelers looking to prolong their visit can apply for a 30-day extension through the Thai Immigration Authority, potentially increasing their total allowable stay to 90 days. It is important to note, however, that the granting of an extension is subject to the discretion of the Immigration Authority and may be denied if application requirements are incomplete or documentation is missing.
For tourists intending to make multiple trips to Thailand, the government offers a multiple-entry tourist visa. This visa enables repeated entries over a six-month period, with each visit lasting no longer than 60 days.
