Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your arrival date | Your passport needs at least 6 months of remaining validity from the day you land in Thailand. Immigration officers at Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang check this strictly — if you're under 6 months, you'll be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Outbound flight within 60 days | You need a flight out of Thailand within 60 days of arrival. Budget airlines at Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang check this before letting you check in — they'll deny boarding if you don't have one. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host address | Immigration may ask where you're staying. Have a hotel confirmation or a friend's address and phone number ready — they've asked me for it at the counter. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds 20,000 THB per person or 40,000 THB per family | Carry cash or have a bank statement showing at least 20,000 THB (about $550 USD) per person. Immigration officers rarely ask, but if they do, you need to show it. | Recommended |
| Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)TDAC Optional online pre-registration | Register at tdac.immigration.go.th before your flight — it's free and takes 2 minutes. Not mandatory, but having the QR code gets you through the immigration queue faster.Open TDAC form | Optional |
TDAC saves time
The Thailand Digital Arrival Card is free and optional, but filling it out online before you fly means you skip the paper form queue at immigration. Do it at tdac.immigration.go.th.
Overstay is expensive
Overstay fines are 500 THB per day (about $14 USD). If you overstay more than 90 days, you risk a 1-year ban from Thailand. Set a reminder to leave on time.
What happens at the border
1
Prepare documents before flying
Check your passport validity (6+ months from entry date), book your return/onward ticket, and arrange first-night accommodation. Fill out the TDAC online if you want to skip the paper form at the airport.
2
Arrive at Thai immigration
At Suvarnabhumi (BKK) or Phuket (HKT), follow signs to 'Passport Control' for foreign passports. Join the queue for 'Visa on Arrival' or 'All Passports' — Jordanians use the visa-free lane, no separate counter needed.
3
Present documents to officer
Hand over your passport, boarding pass, and any requested documents (return ticket, accommodation). The officer will stamp you in for 60 days. No fee is charged.
4
Collect luggage and exit
After the stamp, proceed to baggage claim, then customs. You're free to enter Thailand.
