FAQ Tourist visa to Thailand – single entry to Thailand
How long is a single entry tourist visa valid?
The visa is valid for entry for 3 months from the date of issue. This means that you must travel to Thailand within three months from the date the visa was issued.
Can I enter multiple times with a single entry tourist visa?
No. Single entry means that the visa is only valid for one entry into Thailand. If you need to enter and exit Thailand multiple times, we recommend applying for a Multiple Entry Tourist Visa.
Swedish citizens can travel to Thailand without a visa if the stay is shorter than 30 days and the purpose of the trip is tourism or visits. If you plan to stay longer than 30 days, you need to apply for a visa. You also need a visa if you are going to work or study in Thailand.
Usually, the stay can be extended by another 30 days. The extension is counted from the date on which the application for extension is approved. However, the final decision always rests with the immigration authority in Thailand, which decides whether an extension is granted and, if so, how many days it is valid.
The passport must be valid for at least six months from the date of travel. If your passport does not have sufficient validity for the visa application, we recommend that you apply for a new passport as soon as possible. Keep in mind that some airlines may have their own requirements for passport validity at check-in and boarding. We therefore recommend that you check that your passport meets all the requirements before you start your trip.
You can submit your application as soon as you have gathered all the necessary documents. We will check when it is time to submit the application to the embassy based on your planned travel date. Processing times depend on the embassy's current workload. We prioritise Premium and Express applications.
The price starts from 1 370 per application and varies depending on the level of service (Standard, Express or Premium) as well as any additional services. You will see the final price on our website before completing your order. Visa fees and service costs are subject to change over time, so we recommend checking current prices at the time of application.
The processing time depends on the Embassy's current workload. We prioritize premium and express applications. Standard processing takes about four weeks.
A tourist visa does not entitle you to work in Thailand, regardless of whether the work is paid or unpaid. To work legally in the country, both a valid work permit and the right type of visa are required, usually a Non-Immigrant B visa. Working without proper permits can lead to fines, deportation, and future entry bans. Therefore, if you plan to work in Thailand, it is important to apply for the right visa and work permit before starting work.
If you are going to study in Thailand, you need to apply for a student visa before traveling. The student visa must usually be substantiated with admission documents from an approved educational institution in Thailand. We recommend that you start the application process well in advance of departure to ensure that all documents have time to be processed.
For business trips, a business visa or another may be required, depending on the purpose of the trip. Check the visa requirements for your particular trip before departure.
In some cases, tourist visas can still be used for private visits, but longer family visits may require other visa types. We recommend that you check the rules that apply to your situation before applying for a visa.
In many cases, you can apply for an extension of up to 30 days with the Immigration Bureau in Thailand. Extension is granted for a fee and is decided by Thai authorities. Approval cannot be guaranteed and is assessed individually based on your situation and actions. We recommend that you apply for an extension before your current permitted period of stay expires.
