Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your stay | Your passport needs at least 6 months of validity from your entry date into Thailand. Airlines check this before boarding — if your passport expires sooner, you'll be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Thailand | Immigration officers at Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang routinely ask for a flight out of Thailand within your 60-day visa-free stay. Budget airlines are especially strict — have a printed or digital copy of your onward ticket ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Officers may ask where you're staying, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. Have a hotel confirmation or a letter from your host with their address and phone number. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds 20,000 THB per person or 40,000 THB per family | Immigration can request proof you have at least 20,000 THB (about $550 USD) in cash, traveler's cheques, or a bank statement. Carry a mix of cash and a recent bank statement to be safe. | Recommended |
| Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)TDAC Optional online pre-registration | TDAC is a free 2-minute form at tdac.immigration.go.th where you enter your passport and flight details. Not mandatory, but completing it before you fly gets you through the immigration queue faster.Open TDAC form | Optional |
30 days, no extension possible
The visa-free entry for Jordanian passport holders cannot be extended in Thailand. If you want to stay longer than 30 days, you must leave the country and re-enter, or apply for a different visa from outside Thailand. Plan your trip length before you book flights.
TDAC is mandatory — do it before you fly
Thailand's Digital Arrival Card must be completed online at tdac.immigration.go.th within 3 days before arrival. Save the QR code offline. Without it, you'll queue at a counter on arrival instead of going straight through immigration.
Land border entries may be shorter
If you enter Thailand by land from Malaysia, Cambodia, Laos, or Myanmar, you may only get 15 days instead of 30. Flying in gives you the full 30 days. Check the current rules at the specific border crossing before you travel.
What happens at the border
1
Complete the TDAC online before your flight
Go to tdac.immigration.go.th within 3 days of arrival. Fill in your passport details, flight number, and address in Thailand. You'll get a QR code by email. Screenshot it — you may not have data when you land.
2
Check in at Amman and show your onward ticket
Airline staff at Queen Alia International will ask for your return or onward booking. Have it on your phone or printed. They may also ask to see your TDAC QR code.
3
Fill in the arrival card if you didn't do it online
If you skipped the TDAC, there are kiosks and paper forms in the arrival hall at Suvarnabhumi, Don Mueang, Phuket, or Chiang Mai. Allow an extra 20–30 minutes.
4
Go through immigration at the visa-free counter
Join the queue for visa-exempt entries. Hand over your passport, TDAC QR code, and onward ticket if asked. The officer will stamp you in for 30 days. No fee, no forms to pay for.
5
Keep the entry stamp safe
Your stamp shows the date you must leave by. Take a photo of it. If you lose your passport, that stamp is your proof of legal entry.

Frequently asked questions
No. Jordanian passport holders get a 30-day visa-free stay on arrival. You don't apply in advance and you don't pay anything at the airport. Just bring your passport, onward ticket, and TDAC QR code.
No. The visa-free entry for Jordanian passport holders is not extendable. You must leave Thailand by the date stamped in your passport. If you want to stay longer, you'd need to exit to a neighbouring country and re-enter, or apply for a different visa type from outside Thailand.
The TDAC (Thailand Digital Arrival Card) replaced the old paper TM6 form. It's mandatory. Fill it out at tdac.immigration.go.th within 3 days before you arrive. You'll get a QR code by email — save it offline. If you don't have it, you'll be directed to a counter at the airport to complete it, which can add 20–30 minutes to your arrival.
The official guideline is 10,000 THB per person or 20,000 THB per family, in any currency equivalent. In practice, this is rarely checked for visa-free arrivals, but it can be requested. Keep some cash or a card you can show if asked.
All international airports in Thailand — Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang in Bangkok, Phuket, Chiang Mai, Hat Yai, Krabi, and others. Land border crossings also accept visa-free entry, but land entries are sometimes limited to 15 days per entry. If you're flying in, you get the full 30 days.
You'll be fined 500 THB per day of overstay, up to a maximum of 20,000 THB. You may also be detained, deported, and banned from re-entering Thailand for a period. Overstaying even one day can cause problems at the airport. Leave on or before your stamped date.
Technically, visa-free entry is for tourism only. Remote work for a foreign employer exists in a grey area — it's not explicitly banned but it's not covered by the visa-free entry either. If you're planning to stay long-term and work, look into the Destination Thailand Visa (DTV) or another long-stay option instead.
