Türkiye to Thailand visa requirements

Turkish ordinary passport holders can currently enter Thailand visa-free for up to 60 days per entry under Thailand's P.60 visa-exemption scheme. Submit the TDAC online before arrival; a 2026 rollback to a 30-day tier is pending Royal Gazette effect. Turkish ordinary passport holders are on Thailand's P.60 visa-exemption list, so no Thai visa is required for a short visit for tourism, short-term business engagements, or qualifying urgent/ad-hoc work that follows Thai notification rules. The current official Thai guidance grants up to 60 days per entry, with a discretionary 30-day extension possible at a Thai Immigration office. This was rechecked on 2026-06-29 against Thai Department of Consular Affairs sources, the P.60 PDF that lists Türkiye, and the Royal Thai Embassy in Ankara page updated on 2026-06-15. Thailand's Cabinet approved a revision on 2026-05-19 that would revoke the 60-day P.60 scheme and place Türkiye in a 30-day visa-exemption tier, but the Department of Consular Affairs says the new Ministry of Interior announcements take effect only 15 days after Royal Gazette publication. Official sources checked for this route still show the 60-day rule as current, but travelers should re-check before departure while the rollback is pending. All non-Thai nationals must complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) online before entry. Carry an ordinary Turkish passport valid at least 6 months, onward or return travel within the permitted stay, accommodation details, and funds evidence of THB 20,000 per person or THB 40,000 per family if asked.
