Finding the right Visa for your Stay in Thailand

A visa exemption is not technically a visa, since it is a situation where a visa is not needed for certain nationalities visiting for a short period. It is commonly mistaken as a "visa on arrival" but they are actually completely separate, a visa on arrival only applies for a few countries who are not eligible for visa exempt entry.

This is a visa that is issued when arriving into Thailand. Unlike visa exempt visitors, a visa on arrival is subject to a 2000 THB fee which must be paid in cash using Thai Baht.
