Where Can Thai People Go Without Visa?

[bangkokburning]

Bali I am almost certain is free, my gf is sleeping so cannot confirm. I can see entry at other points not recognized for ASEAN free visa (30). Its a very corrupt country. I would think Jakarta would be gratis, after that - all bets off. Indo has become really slimy.

Incidently, Bali is well and truly finished, I will never, ever go back.

[bangkokburning]

The list has flaws... MAYBE?!?! Why don't you take your precious time and post it up for free.

Consider it a great FREE starter info. Now all you need is a search engine and you can confirm whatever country you please. Enjoy...

This list seems to have flaws.

Well i think the person who put this list up did a great job, and here you come on and start slagging it,Flaws? for xxxsake the person was giving us a helping hand

Yeah, sure, though I fail to understand why. There's a well-mantained list in Wikipedia, there is Timatic after all (though of course Timatic is only for air travellers).

and here you come on and start slagging it

It's true that here I come, and it's a lie that I start slagging. I pointed out a couple of actual errors. I am not trying to belittle the effort done, but the list does have flaws as a matter of fact, and what does that mean? That means it must be taken critically, and that's it.

Anyone know if bali is visa free for thai? I read that some parts of indonesia are not visa free.

Yes, we've done it several times with my Thai b/f. I had to obtain VoA (there was quite a queue!) and he passed through immigration very quickly. I am not quite sure if my memory serves me correctly but AFAIR there was a minor hassle with migration forms. Aboard plane everyone was given the same sort of migration forms, but upon arrival it turned out that they were different for VoA and visa-free nationals.

Last summer my partner and I flew from the U.S. to Mexico and he was not asked for a visa. He had an educational visa to study in the U.S. and this was between terms at his university. But the Mexicans didn't ask to see it, just stamped his Thai passport.

This happened because Mexicans admit everyone who has a valid US visa (any type) which has already been used for entry to the USA.

Spitzbergen ,nobody needs a visa since 1920 convention.

Thais are the largest single group of non Norweginas there.

However unless taking your own boat need visa for Norway to get there.

There are charter flights from VKO. Once monthly or something like that. And I've heard of a guy who managed to buy tickets and get there.

Interesting. My girlfriend and I traveled to Oaxaca from the US and they were very careful to check her Mexican visa.

If you walk across the border into Tijuana there's no immigration check at all. Just stroll through a one-way revolving gate and you're in Mexico. There's several small buildings there, I'm sure you're supposed to stop at one of them, but there were no obvious signs, ques, gates, or official looking people standing outside any of them. I was on the streets of TJ before I knew it, and didn't feel like going back to see if there was some place I was supposed to check in first.

So what are the visa requirements for an American and Thai gf to get into Japan?

[cardholder]

Anyone have personal experience of a Thai traveling to Myanmar ?

[NewlyMintedThai]

Anyone have personal experience of a Thai traveling to Myanmar ?

Yes, visa required like everyone else (unless you are talking about a border day pass). Any travel agent can arrange it for you with no need to go to the Myanmar Embassy yourself.

[NewlyMintedThai]

No requirement at all for an American.

Stringent requirements on par with US, UK, etc. for Thais.

[ALFREDO]

So the nearest you can bring your GF to Central Europe or England, without a Visa, is the nice country of -Kosovo- LoL.

[NewlyMintedThai]

I think I'd rather go to Kosovo than England.

Border passes can only be used for a day or sometimes 3 days but not further than the border province. So a passport is required for a Thai to travel (legally) to Phnom Penh even though there are no internal checkpoints. I have travelled by taxi between Poipet and Phnom Penh/Bavet (for Vietnam) many times and it would theoretically be possible to bypass the need for a passport but I am not sure if Thais can even use border passes there (Poipet) but may require passports anyway (to go past the casino zone). In any case, passports are always better since there are no restrictions on travel and in the case of Laos and Cambodia where no visas are required for short stays, border passes cost money and time to make and are only valid for a short time and restricted area. I went with 3 Thai friends to Vientiane 2 years ago and one of them had a passport that was nearly expired so was refused exit from Thailand and forced to get a border pass for 120Baht that took an hour to process. A photograph was also required and this delayed our short trip significantly.

[Tomtomtom69]

BTW some countries that require visas from Thais generally don't present much more of a problem than countries that don't demand visas. For example, I have never heard of the Chinese embassy refusing to issue a visa to a Thai. Similarly, the Myanmar Embassy would issue a visa to all Thais except the small number of people that are known to be anti-Myanmar government or have some sort of other politically sensitive agenda. In other words, Thais can go everywhere without a problem except Japan, Australia/NZ (up until 1996 they could still travel to NZ visa free but not anymore), USA/Canada and western Europe (Schengen zone and UK/Ireland),

Passports are currently required for Thai nationals to cross the Cambodian border at Poipet.

Add Israel to that list, also Mexico.

Yeah. I'm now trying to help my friend to arrange a transit visa for Ukraine (just to have a good sleep in hotel during a 14-hour layover in Kyiv), and can't even simply reach them over the telephone.

i want to go on vacation with thai hubby , sometime in november or when ever we get his permanent residency visa renewed here... and then we have to get him a re-entry visa, and then we can go somewhere... question is, where?

i cant go to any arab countries -petra in jordan and egypt/sinai is off the books for the moment also-- politics being what they are; the country has to be someplace close by, to fit our plane ticket budget, and travel expense pocket (kibbutznik and restaraunt worker- so think, cheap)and also hopeing that this place would also feel different then here (rules out cyprus, but could work)... so what countries fit the bill?? would portugal? or malta? or spain? i also carry an american passport but dont want to get stuck with exiting with israeli and entering with unstamped american one to guest country....and we hate snow so that rules out bulgaria et al..

Can't go wrong with Turkey, but your husband will need a visa.

[bina]

not sure if turkey is on the ok list for israelis since two years ago with the boat going to gaza incident... i do have kids so dont want to do blatantly stupid tourist blunders; but by november, who knows what blows in the political wind. frankly , turkey used to be cheapr then going to eilat, (which for us in jeruslaem is abou tthe same as going overseas as far as 'feeling' goes: city of sin, etc... )...my husband is an ex migrant worker here in israel, will that be a problem for turkey? (the usa etc have definate 'feelings' about ex migrant workers)?

any other recommendations? i guess europe is out?
