Apply for a media visa Thailand now

Media professionals traveling to the Southeast Asian country for professional reasons require a media visa for Thailand, often also referred to as a journalist visa. This primarily includes foreign journalists who are conducting research or reporting on location. However, film producers who choose Thailand's dreamlike landscape as a backdrop are also required to apply for the "M" visa for media production before traveling. It is one of the non-immigrant visas for Thailand. Entry with a tourist visa is not permitted for this group of people.

A media visa can be valid for between 3 months and 1 year from the date of issue, depending on the purpose and duration of the work. The validity period of the visa is the period in which entry to Thailand must take place and the visa can be used. The visa can be applied for at the earliest 3 months before the trip. The permitted length of stay is up to 90 days per entry. For multiple entries within one year, the corresponding visa category must be applied for.

Journalists and reporters also require a permit from the Information Department of the Thai Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Film producers require a permit from the Thai Film Commission.
