Thailand Visa Experience – Individual Traveller Testimonial

No, I didn’t apply for a visa. Since Indian passport holders are allowed visa-free entry for up to 60 days, I travelled without applying for any visa in advance.

I mainly checked that my passport was valid for more than six months. I also kept my return flight ticket and hotel booking handy. I filled out the Thailand digital arrival card form online before travelling, just to avoid any last-minute issues at immigration.

Yes, it was quite smooth. At immigration, they checked my passport and stamped it. I was asked basic questions about my stay and return date, but nothing complicated.

They didn’t ask for much apart from my passport. I had my return ticket and hotel booking ready on my phone, but I wasn’t specifically asked to show everything.

I was allowed to stay for up to 60 days as per the stamp given on arrival. Since my trip was shorter, I didn’t need any extension.

Not really. The process was simple as long as you’re aware that it’s visa-free and you carry basic travel documents. Completing the arrival details beforehand helped.

Yes, definitely. It’s very convenient. As long as travel plans are clear and documents are in order, there’s no need to go through a visa application for short trips.

I’d suggest checking the latest rules before travelling, completing the arrival form in advance, and keeping your return ticket and hotel booking accessible. That’s usually enough.
