Israel to Thailand visa requirements

Q: How long can I stay in Thailand without a visa?

Currently up to 60 days, but a Cabinet decision of 19 May 2026 reduces most visa-exempt nationalities (including Israel) to 30 days once published in the Royal Gazette. Plan for a 30-day stay, extendable once by 30 days.

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

Yes. The Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) is mandatory for all foreign arrivals. Complete it free of charge online within 72 hours before arrival at the official immigration site, and keep the QR confirmation.

Q: Can I extend my visa-free stay?

Yes. You can apply for one 30-day extension at a local Thai immigration office before your current permission expires, for a fee of 1,900 THB.

Q: What documents might immigration ask for on arrival?

A passport valid 6+ months, your TDAC confirmation, proof of onward or return travel, and possibly proof of funds (10,000 THB per person / 20,000 THB per family).

Q: Is there a fee for visa-free entry to Thailand?

No. There is no visa or entry fee for visa-exempt tourist arrivals. The TDAC is also free; only optional stay extensions carry a fee.

Israeli ordinary passport holders can visit Thailand for tourism WITHOUT a visa under Thailand's visa exemption scheme. No visa or eVisa is needed for a short stay. You must complete the free Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) online within 72 hours before arrival. Israel is on Thailand's visa-exemption list, so Israeli ordinary passport holders enter visa-free for tourism. Since 15 July 2024 the exemption allowed a 60-day stay, but on 19 May 2026 the Thai Cabinet approved reverting most visa-exempt nationalities (including Israel) to a 30-day stay. That change takes effect 15 days after publication in the Royal Gazette; until then the existing 60-day permission still applies. Because the cut to 30 days is imminent, travelers should plan around a 30-day visa-free stay, extendable once by 30 days at a local immigration office (1,900 THB). Standard conditions apply: a passport valid at least 6 months, proof of onward/return travel, possible proof of funds (10,000 THB per person), and a completed TDAC. There is no entry/visa fee for visa-exempt arrivals.
