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 entry date into Thailand. Airlines check this before boarding — if your passport expires sooner, you'll be denied boarding. | Required |
| Return or onward ticket Proof of departure from Thailand | Immigration officers at Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang routinely ask for a flight out of Thailand within your 60-day visa-free stay. 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're staying, especially if you arrive without a clear itinerary. Have a hotel confirmation or a letter from your host with their address and phone number. | 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. Carry a mix of cash and a recent bank statement to be safe. | Recommended |
| Thailand Digital Arrival Card (TDAC)TDAC Optional online pre-registration | TDAC is a free 2-minute form at tdac.immigration.go.th where you enter your passport and flight details. Not mandatory, but completing it before you fly gets you through the immigration queue faster.Open TDAC form | Optional |
TDAC saves time
The Thailand Digital Arrival Card is free and optional, but filling it out online before you fly means you skip the paper form queue at immigration. Do it at tdac.immigration.go.th.
Overstay is expensive
Overstay fines are 500 THB per day (about $14 USD). If you overstay more than 90 days, you risk a 1-year ban from Thailand. Set a reminder to leave on time.
What happens at the border
1
Prepare documents before flying
Check your passport validity (6+ months from entry date), book your return/onward ticket, and arrange first-night accommodation. Fill out the TDAC online if you want to skip the paper form at the airport.
2
Arrive at Thai immigration
At Suvarnabhumi (BKK) or Phuket (HKT), follow signs to 'Passport Control' for foreign passports. Join the queue for 'Visa on Arrival' or 'All Passports' — Jordanians use the visa-free lane, no separate counter needed.
3
Present documents to officer
Hand over your passport, boarding pass, and any requested documents (return ticket, accommodation). The officer will stamp you in for 60 days. No fee is charged.
4
Collect luggage and exit
After the stamp, proceed to baggage claim, then customs. You're free to enter Thailand.
