Visa Free Countrys?

[32x]

I know fiji is one(Thxs Penelope).

How many are there?. It would be great to take the TGF out of the country for a week in March for a short plane trip.

Then again ive always wanted to take her to Chang mai ,o bloody h e l l

I hope she gets that Holiday visa to the UK.

Recheck Fiji. Thailand removed Fiji from the list of those entitled to enter Thailand without a visa. Fiji probably repaid Thailand for the honor.

Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos (if visa on arrival facilities are available), Hong Kong, Peru, Oman.

Also I think Korea, Brunei, Phillipines and Indonesia.

You can't really be an economist Samran....you gave a straightforward reply

On the other hand.......technically none of these countries are visa free, they just give you a visa when you get there.

Thanks for putting me straight Dr P!! Couldn't have forgiven myself if I didn't say something that wasn't convoluted and confusing!! I'll sleep better tonight.

The Asean countries each permit citizens of each member country a visa free stay of 30 days for tourism purposes, and free of charge.

Also can add Sri Lanka to Samran's list,

Not quite..

Cambodia and Laos require Thais to pay for visas like everyone else, just that they are available for purchase at most entry points upon arrival.

What I meant in my first list was that a Thai can get a visa on arrival at the border if the facilities to issue one there exist, like at Nong Khai or Poi Pet...so no need to visit the embassy before hand.

I think Burma is the only Asean country which requires Thais to get a visa in advance.

See, i really am an economist..

Also can add Sri Lanka to Samran's list,

WOW.......and a Sri Lankan MUST have a visa to enter Thailand. And must obtain it in a Thai Embassy or Consulate in their country of residence.

South Africa.

The Republic of the Seychelles.

Many Caribbean island states, including St. Vincent & the Grenadines.

[PvtDick]

Nepal.

Same rules for a Nepalese

Nepal would be great 2 see..I hear you can do a helicoptor ride around everist.

[Rickman]

Actually they don't give you a visa on arrival they give you and entry permit.

[lopburi3]

You are right, Fiji is still visa free. Believe either Hong Kong or Singapore trips would be welcomed. Both are bargain airfares and offer good accommodations/photo taking. I would go for Hong Kong harbor for first trip abroad as it provides a chance for her to get many once in a lifetime photographs for her collection and perhaps a little more 'face' than Singapore at about the same cost.

hi,

and what about a 1 day pass to Laos for Thai people? Does it exist? and how much does it cost? Do it at the border?

thanks.

[surfercaesar]

Thanks Dr.Pat for at least some of us know about ASEAN.

Yes all ASEAN nations have a mutual understanding for visas and mostly free.

I don't disagree with what you are saying in that is what is suppose to happen.

My wife has probably entered 6+ times in last year. Each time, 14 days. This is both at airport and mainland border.
