Australia to Thailand visa requirements

Australian ordinary passport holders do NOT need a visa for tourism or short-term business travel in Thailand. As of 20 June 2026, the in-force visa exemption still gives up to 60 days on arrival, extendable once by 30 days, but a Cabinet-approved revision will reduce the 60-day scheme after Royal Gazette publication. Every traveler entering Thailand through immigration must submit the free online Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) within 3 days before arrival. Australia is covered by Thailand's Tourist Visa Exemption scheme for ordinary passport holders. As of 20 June 2026, Australian tourists may enter visa-free for up to 60 days per visit and can apply once for a 30-day extension at a local immigration office (1,900 THB). The TDAC online arrival card is mandatory for non-Thai nationals entering Thailand and must be lodged within 3 days before arrival through the official Immigration Bureau portal; it is free. Important pending change: Thailand's Cabinet approved revisions on 19 May 2026 that revoke the 60-day exemption scheme for all 93 countries/territories. Official PRD/TAT guidance says the revised rules take effect 15 days after the Ministry of Interior announcements are published in the Royal Gazette; until then, current entry conditions remain in place. Travelers should re-check shortly before departure, carry a passport valid for more than 6 months, hold onward/return travel, and be able to show funds of 20,000 THB per person or 40,000 THB per family.
