Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) to Thailand

Thailand is a popular destination for a tourist trip, attracted by its picturesque beaches, cultural attractions and opportunities for active recreation. Before planning a vacation in Thailand, it is worth considering the peculiarities of the country's visa regime. For many travelers, there are various entry options, including visa-free travel for some countries, as well as obtaining an e-visa and visa on arrival for short stays.

As of December 1, 2024, Thailand is introducing an Electronic Travel Authorization (ETA) system for citizens of visa-exempt countries, thereby simplifying the process of entering the country and maintaining all the current conditions of the previously introduced regulations.

Compliance with visa requirements will help to avoid unnecessary difficulties in crossing the border and fully enjoy your vacation in Thailand.
