Visa & Entry

Thai passport holders enter Turkey visa-free for up to 30 days. No advance application or eVisa is needed. Passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond the date of entry. At Istanbul Airport (IST), Sabiha Gokcen (SAW), or Antalya (AYT), you go to the immigration counter and receive a stamp. The process rarely takes more than a few minutes.

The 30-day stay cannot be extended from within Turkey for tourism purposes. If you want to stay longer, apply for a short-term residence permit through e-ikamet.goc.gov.tr before the 30 days expire. For trips exceeding 30 days planned in advance, consider applying for an eVisa at evisa.gov.tr for a 30-day single-entry authorization or a standard visa at the Turkish Embassy in Bangkok.
