Indonesia to Thailand visa requirements

Indonesian ordinary passport holders do not need a visa for Thailand for tourism or short-term business stays. As of 2026-06-21, the in-force visa exemption allows up to 60 days per entry, extendable once by up to 30 days; TDAC is mandatory within 3 days before arrival. Indonesia is listed by Thailand's Department of Consular Affairs under the current 60-day visa exemption scheme for ordinary passport holders. As of 2026-06-21, Indonesian visitors may enter Thailand visa-free for tourism and short-term business engagements for up to 60 days per entry, and may apply once at Thai Immigration for an extension of up to 30 more days for THB 1,900. All non-Thai nationals entering by air, land, or sea must submit the free Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) online within 3 days before arrival. Important pending change: Thailand's Cabinet approved revisions on 2026-05-19 to revoke the 60-day scheme, but PRD/TAT state the revised conditions take effect only 15 days after publication in the Royal Gazette; until then, current entry conditions remain in place. Travelers should re-check close to departure, carry an Indonesian ordinary passport valid at least 6 months, hold onward or return travel, and be able to show funds of THB 20,000 per person or THB 40,000 per family if asked.
