Tourist Visa (TR)
The Thailand Tourist Visa (TR) is a single or multiple-entry visa that allows you to stay in Thailand for 60 days per entry. It is ideal for travelers who want guaranteed entry or who come from countries not eligible for visa-free entry. The new Multiple Entry Visa (MEV) is valid for 6 months with unlimited entries โ perfect for travelers exploring Southeast Asia with Thailand as a base. Each entry grants 60 days, extendable by 30 days at immigration. The MEV has become especially attractive now that visa-free entry is being reduced from 60 to 30 days.
