German passport holders enter Thailand visa-free for up to 60 days. Your passport must have at least 6 months of validity and at least 1 blank page. Immigration may ask for proof of onward travel and funds of THB 20,000 (around EUR 520) per person, though this is rarely checked for European passport holders.
The 60-day visa exemption can be extended once at any immigration office in Thailand for 30 more days. The extension fee is THB 1,900. If you want to stay longer than 90 days total, apply for a 60-day tourist visa at a Thai embassy before departure. That visa costs EUR 35 and can also be extended for 30 days in-country.
Thailand requires proof of accommodation for the first night. A hotel booking confirmation works. Land border entries have the same 60-day exemption as air arrivals since the 2024 rule change.
