Thailand Modifies India's Visa Fees Visa-free entry is still available as of April 27, 2026.
With effect from April 27, 2026, Thailand has updated the cost of visas to India. Indians can still enter the country without a visa for up to 60 days. View the most recent tourist and long-term visa fees.
There is a significant update for those who intend to stay in Thailand for a longer period of time. The cost of visas for a number of categories, including tourist, non-immigrant, SMART, and long-term resident visas, has been updated by the Royal Thai Embassy in New Delhi.
The Royal Thai Embassy and Royal Thai Consulates-General throughout India will implement the new pricing schedule starting on April 27, 2026.
The important thing to remember is that Indian visitors can still enter Thailand without a visa for a maximum of 60 days, and this modification has no bearing on the regulations governing visa-free entrance.
Indians Can Still Enter Without a Visa for 60 Days
Thailand's list of countries free from visa requirements still includes India. This implies:
Indian nationals do not need a visa to enter Thailand.
A stay of up to 60 days is permitted.
Typically, entry is allowed for tourists.
Depending on Thai immigration laws, an extension might be feasible.
For brief vacations, brief family vacations, or business trips, this visa-free option is perfect.
Travelers applying through the Thai Embassy for extended stays, multiple-entry visas, work-related visas, or residency possibilities are primarily impacted by the updated fees.
