Thailand visa

No visa needed for an Indian passport for a stay of this length. You still need a valid passport, a return ticket and proof of funds at immigration.

Read this first

Indian passport holders enter visa-free. The TDAC is compulsory and free — several lookalike sites charge for it, so file only on the Thai immigration bureau site. Thailand has publicly debated shortening the visa-free stay from 60 days to 30; for a normal holiday it makes no difference, but we reconfirm the current rule before every departure.

What actually happens

The processing timeline

  1. 1

    Before you fly

    Check your passport

    Six months of validity from the date of arrival, and two blank facing pages. This is refused at the check-in counter more often than at immigration.

  2. 2

    At the airport

    Carry the proof

    Return ticket, hotel confirmation and proof of funds. Visa-free is not question-free — the immigration officer can still ask.

  3. 3

    On arrival

    Stamped in

    Immigration stamps your permitted stay of up to 60 days. Overstaying carries a fine and an entry ban — count the days from the stamp, not from your ticket.

What to carry

Work through this list before you send anything. Most refusals are a missing page or a mismatched name, not a rejected traveller.

Common questions

Is the Thailand fee shown here guaranteed?

No. It is a researched, current estimate. Consular fees move with exchange rates and with policy notices published at short notice, and Dreamvaca confirms the exact payable amount in writing before filing.

How long does the Thailand visa take?

No application is needed for a stay within the permitted period — you are stamped in on arrival.

How long can I stay?

Up to 60 days, with multiple entries. The permitted stay is what the immigration stamp says, not what your ticket says.
