Most travellers from Europe, North America and Australia can enter Thailand without a visa, but the rules changed on 15 September 2026 and the visa-free stay is now 30 days rather than 60. A one-time extension of up to 30 more days can be requested at a Thai immigration office for a fee of 1,900 baht. If you want to stay longer, or if your nationality is not on the exemption list, you can apply for a tourist visa at a Thai embassy or through Thailand's official e-visa portal before you travel. Entry rules change regularly, so please check the official Thai e-visa website for your own nationality before booking flights. Last checked: September 2026.
The best time to visit Thailand is from November to April. This is the dry season, with sunny days, minimal rainfall and temperatures of roughly 28 to 34 degrees Celsius. It suits sightseeing and outdoor activities, and it is also the most reliable window for the southern beach resorts such as Phuket, Koh Phi Phi and Krabi.
