Thai immigration rules change without notice. Visa types, requirements, fees, and 90-day reporting procedures are updated by the Royal Thai Police Immigration Bureau and Ministry of Foreign Affairs at their discretion. Information on Pattaya Knowledge is reviewed quarterly but may not reflect the most recent changes.
Always verify before acting
For any visa application, extension, conversion, or 90-day report, verify the current requirements directly with one of the following:
- Thai Immigration Bureau (call 1178 or visit the official website)
- Jomtien Immigration Office (in person)
- A Thai embassy or consulate in your home country
- A registered Thai visa agent
Visa agents
Some visa agents on our site list paid placements (labelled as such). Always check that an agent is properly registered and read independent reviews before paying upfront.
Overstay
Overstaying a Thai visa carries fines (500 THB/day to a maximum of 20,000 THB) and possible blacklist for future entry. We strongly recommend never relying on grey-area advice. When in doubt, leave and re-enter.
