Entry requirements
| Requirement | Details | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Valid passport Must cover your entire stay in Thailand | Your passport needs to be valid for at least 6 months from your date of entry. Airlines at Muscat International will check this before boarding — they won't let you fly if it's close to expiring. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Required for visa-free entry | Immigration at Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang routinely asks for proof of onward travel within 60 days. Budget airlines like AirAsia and Nok Air check this at check-in too — have a printed or digital copy ready. | Required |
| Proof of accommodation Hotel booking or host invitation | Immigration officers may ask where you're staying, especially if you arrive without a hotel booking. A printed confirmation or a digital copy on your phone works fine. | Recommended |
| Proof of funds 20,000 THB per person or 40,000 THB per family | Thailand's official requirement is 20,000 THB in cash or traveler's checks per person, or 40,000 THB per family. In practice, officers rarely ask for it unless you look like you're working illegally — but carry cash to be safe. | Recommended |
