Thailand Visa Guide
The entry point for most of the Europeans and Westerners to the paradise of Asia. Tonnes of direct and affordable flights to Southeast Asia are heading to Thailand. I'm one of the travellers who couldn't resist the beauty of Thailand, being a Philippines' passport holder, my entry to Thailand was easy and smooth, although it wasn't as easy when I had to fly out.
Most Europeans and the west part of the world should not have a hard time obtaining a visa to Thailand. In this Thailand visa guide article, you will find out if you are free of visa to enter the country, how long you are allowed to stay for, where you can apply for one (if you need a visa), how much should it cost you, and how to extend your Thai visa.

Thank you in advance.
Hello Evelyn,
Thanks for reading! You don’t need a visa to enter, travel, and to get out of Thailand. However, in some cases, the immigration office of Thailand will ask for your flight out ticket and hotel reservation.
I have the same question with REMPHEPS FERRER. Let me know also how could I travel Bangkok in the same situation. Thank you!
Hello Norhata,
Thanks for dropping by!
Are you travelling for tourism or some other reasons?
Let’s say it’s for tourism, as long as you have all the requirements that you need, you should be fine (return ticket, hotel bookings, tour bookings if you have any, employment cert, bank statement).
Bangkok is tourism friendly. So no reason to worry about landing in Bangkok.
I personally haven’t flown to Southeast Asia coming from the Philippines. I flew from somewhere else when I landed in Bangkok. But as long as you are honest with your answers and confident, you should be okay 🙂
I hope this help you answer your questions 🙂
Hi Mary, I am planning to visit Bangkok any moment of this month. So, I might ask you some questions which really bothered me much, first. I have a PH Passport, but the first thing that really hesitates me to travel in bangkok is for the first time traveler like me to go out our country. Is it really possible that the immigration in our airports will get me pass in thru immigration? Secondly, what are those papers or documents that they are looking for when you get inside the immigration in our respective airports? And lastly, is it really that too easy for the first timer to get inside The bangkok. Without offloading? Thanks I hope you will acknowledging this messaged. 🙂
Hi! I replied to your email 🙂
