How this rule was checked
On 13 Oct 2026 we checked this rule against the official sources that govern entry to Thailand, chiefly Royal Thai Embassy, Doha (Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Thailand). Two independent checks reached the same result.
Before the check, public visa data (as of 17 Feb 2026) said: visa on arrival, up to 15 days. The official source shows: visa-free, up to 15 days, and that is what this page shows.
