Argentina to Thailand visa requirements

Q: Is the 90-day stay affected by Thailand ending the 60-day visa exemption?

No. Argentina's 90-day entry comes from a separate bilateral agreement (one of only 5 countries) and is not part of the standard 60-day program that the cabinet moved to revise in May 2026.

Q: What is the TDAC and do I need it?

The Thailand Digital Arrival Card is a free online form mandatory for all arrivals since 1 May 2025. File it at tdac.immigration.go.th within 3 days before arrival; it is not a visa.

Q: What are the passport and entry requirements?

A passport valid at least 6 months, a confirmed onward/return ticket, and proof of adequate funds (about 10,000 THB per person) if requested.

Q: Can I work in Thailand on this visa-free entry?

No. Visa-exempt entry is for tourism, visiting and short non-paid business only. Employment requires the appropriate visa and work permit.

Argentine ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for tourism in Thailand. They may stay up to 90 days per visit under the Thailand–Argentina bilateral visa-exemption agreement. A free Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) must be filed online within 3 days before arrival. Argentina is one of only five countries (with Brazil, Chile, Peru and South Korea) that hold a reciprocal bilateral visa-exemption agreement with Thailand granting a generous 90-day stay — marked "B(90)" on the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs exemption list. Crucially, this 90-day bilateral entitlement is SEPARATE from the standard 60-day "visa exemption (P30/P60)" program that Thailand's cabinet moved to revise/reduce in May 2026; the bilateral agreement is unaffected by those changes. An Argentine ordinary passport holder arriving for tourism simply presents a passport valid at least 6 months with proof of onward travel and adequate funds, and receives a 90-day entry stamp at no cost. Since 1 May 2025 every foreign arrival — regardless of visa status — must also complete the free online Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) at tdac.immigration.go.th within 3 days before arrival; it replaces the old paper TM6 and is neither a visa nor an ETA. Those who need longer can apply once at a Thai immigration office for a 30-day extension (1,900 THB). Conclusion: no visa, no eVisa, no visa-on-arrival is required for a short tourist trip.
