Thailand visa
Bangkok
Thailand no longer has a paper arrival card. Every non-Thai traveller now files a Thailand Digital Arrival Card online in the three days before arriving, whichever way they arrive and whatever their visa status — including those entering visa-free or on a visa on arrival. It is free on the government's own site, which is worth saying, because it is exactly the kind of requirement that attracts paid look-alike websites. Whether you need a visa on top of it depends on your passport, and many nationalities do not. We check both, and remind you about the card when the trip gets close.
