Bosnia and Herzegovina passport holders need an eVisa to enter Thailand for tourism or short business visits. The eVisa must be approved before you travel — there is no visa on arrival for BA passports. As of 2026, the process is entirely online and straightforward if you prepare the documents in advance.

No visa on arrival for BA passports
Bosnia and Herzegovina passport holders cannot get a visa on arrival in Thailand. You must apply for and receive an eVisa before you travel. Arriving without one means you'll be denied entry.
TDAC saves time at immigration
The Thailand Digital Arrival Card is free and optional, but completing it online before your flight means you skip the paper form queue. Do it at tdac.immigration.go.th up to 72 hours before arrival.
