FAQ for Indian applicants
Do Indian citizens need a visa for Thailand right now?+
Indian passport holders can enter visa-exempt for up to 60 days of tourism under the current scheme. A tourist visa or METV is still recommended for longer, repeated or work-adjacent stays.
How much cash should Indian travellers carry into Thailand?+
Immigration can ask visa-exempt arrivals for 10,000 THB per person or 20,000 THB per family. Carrying part in cash and part on card, with a statement on your phone, satisfies the check.
Will repeated Thailand trips get me refused entry?+
Frequent land-border runs are the main red flag. Two or three flights a year are normally fine; beyond that, switch to a METV so your stay is properly documented.
Can I extend the 60-day exemption inside Thailand?+
Yes, by 30 days at a Thai immigration office for a 1,900 THB fee. Apply a few days before expiry — same-day extensions on the expiry date are often refused.
Is the METV worth it for Indian applicants?+
It pays off if you make three or more trips within six months, since each entry allows 60 days. First-time travellers with no Thai history are usually better served by a single-entry visa first.
Do Indian citizens need a visa for Thailand?+
Yes. Indian passport holders need a E-Visa to enter Thailand. It can be applied for entirely online through Vizaezy and is typically issued in 3 days.
How long does the Thailand visa take for Indian applicants?+
Median processing time is 3 days from the moment your documents are submitted. Vizaezy tracks your application against the government portal in real time.
How much does a Thailand visa cost from India?+
Total cost is USD 85 — that's USD 35 in government fees plus USD 50 for Vizaezy's service. Government fees are non-refundable, our service fee is refunded if the visa is denied.
How long can Indian citizens stay in Thailand?+
The E-Visa permits a stay of up to 60 days and is valid for 90 days from issue.
What documents do Indian applicants need?+
A passport valid for at least 6 months, a recent passport-style photo, travel dates, accommodation details and proof of funds. Vizaezy auto-extracts your passport fields on-device — no manual data entry required.
Indian passport holders can currently enter Thailand visa-exempt for up to 60 days for tourism, but a tourist visa or METV is the safer route for long stays, repeat visits or remote workers who plan to stay months at a time.
