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 date of entry into Thailand. Airlines check this before boarding — if your passport expires sooner, you will be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for visa-free entry | Immigration officers at Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang airports routinely ask for proof of a flight out of Thailand within 60 days. 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 are staying for the first few nights. A hotel confirmation email or a letter from a friend with their address is enough. | 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. This is rarely checked for short stays, but carry the equivalent in cash or have a statement accessible. | Recommended |
| Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)Thailand Digital Arrival Card — a free 2-minute online pre-registration at tdac.immigration.go.th. Not mandatory, but gets you through the immigration queue faster. Optional online pre-registration | Register your passport and flight details at tdac.immigration.go.th before you fly. It is free, takes 2 minutes, and gives you a QR code that speeds up the immigration queue at major airports.Register for TDAC | Optional |
Overstaying is expensive and risky
Overstaying your 60-day visa-free period costs 500 THB per day (capped at 20,000 THB). If you overstay more than 90 days, you can be banned from re-entering Thailand for 1 year. Always track your entry stamp date.
TDAC saves time at major airports
The Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC) is free and optional, but at busy airports like Bangkok Suvarnabhumi (BKK) or Phuket (HKT), having the QR code can cut your immigration queue time by 15-30 minutes. Fill it out at https://tdac.immigration.go.th up to 72 hours before arrival.
What happens at the border
1
Prepare your documents before departure
Check your passport validity (6+ months), print or save your return ticket and first hotel booking. Download the TDAC form (optional but recommended) at https://tdac.immigration.go.th — it's free and can save you 15-30 minutes in the queue at major airports like Bangkok (BKK) or Phuket (HKT).
2
At the departure airport
The airline check-in agent will verify your passport and onward ticket. They may also ask for proof of accommodation. If you don't have a return ticket, you may be denied boarding. Show your TDAC QR code if you completed it.
3
Arrival at a Thai airport
Follow signs to 'Foreign Passport' immigration. Have your passport, boarding pass, and TDAC QR code (if you have it) ready. The officer will stamp you in for 60 days. The process usually takes 5-15 minutes. At busy times (e.g., late afternoon at BKK), queues can be longer — TDAC holders sometimes get a faster lane.
4
After immigration
Collect your luggage, then proceed to customs (green channel for most tourists). You're now free to stay up to 60 days. Keep your departure card (if given) safe — you'll need to hand it back when you leave.

Frequently asked questions
No, the visa-free entry for Lithuanian passport holders is not extendable. If you want to stay longer, you must leave Thailand and re-enter (land border or flight) to get another 60 days, or apply for a tourist visa (e.g., 60-day single entry) before you travel. Overstaying costs 500 THB per day and can get you banned.
Officially, you should be able to show at least 20,000 THB per person or 40,000 THB per family if asked. In practice, this is almost never checked for short visa-free stays. But having a credit card and some cash (around 500 EUR equivalent) is sensible.
The airline will likely deny you boarding. Even if you get on the plane, immigration may ask for proof of onward travel. The safest option is to book a fully refundable onward ticket or a cheap flight to a neighboring country (e.g., to Kuala Lumpur or Hanoi) within 60 days.
Yes, Lithuanian passport holders can enter visa-free at land borders. The same 60-day stay applies. However, some land crossings (like Poipet from Cambodia) can be slow and chaotic. Have your documents ready and expect to pay a small 'processing fee' (200-500 THB) at some borders — unofficial but common.
No, it's optional. But it's free and takes 2 minutes to fill out online. It gives you a QR code that can speed up immigration at major airports. Without it, you'll fill out a paper arrival card on the plane or at the airport. I'd recommend doing it — it saves time.
You will be denied boarding by the airline. Thai immigration strictly enforces the 6-month rule. Renew your passport before traveling. If you're already in Thailand and your passport expires, contact your embassy for an emergency travel document.
No. Visa-free entry is for tourism, short business meetings, or transit only. Any paid work, volunteering, or study requires the appropriate visa. Working illegally can lead to arrest, fines, and deportation. If you plan to work or study, apply for the correct visa before you travel.
