Taiwan (Chinese Taipei) to Thailand visa requirements

Taiwan ordinary passport holders currently enter Thailand visa-free for up to 60 days under the P.60 visa-exemption scheme. Submit the free TDAC online within 3 days before arrival and re-check before travel while Thailand's 2026 rollback is pending Royal Gazette effect. As of 29 June 2026, holders of an ordinary Taiwan (Republic of China) passport are listed under Thailand's P.60 Tourist Visa Exemption Scheme and may enter Thailand visa-free 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 for the usual THB 1,900 fee. No visa, VOA, eVisa, embassy visit, or visa fee is required for a standard short visit using this exemption. Thailand's Cabinet approved a revision on 19 May 2026 that would revoke the 60-day P.60 scheme after Ministry of Interior announcements are published in the Royal Gazette and 15 days pass; official Thai sources checked on 29 June 2026 still show Taiwan on the current 60-day list, but travelers should re-check close to departure. All non-Thai nationals must complete the Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) online before entry; the official Immigration Bureau guide says to submit within 3 days before arrival, including the arrival date, and the official portal states that no fees are required. Carry an ordinary passport valid at least 6 months, return or onward travel, accommodation details, and funds evidence if asked; Thai embassy guidance for the 60-day exemption cites THB 20,000 per person or THB 40,000 per family.
