Visa & Arrival Guide for Group Travel to Thailand — What Indian & Asian Organisers Need to Know
Planning a corporate incentive trip, MICE event, or leisure group tour from India or other Asian countries to Thailand? Understanding the visa and arrival process is essential for a smooth travel experience. This guide is tailored for event organisers, tour operators, and corporate travel planners who want to make their group entry into Thailand stress-free and cost-effective.
1. Visa Options for Indian & Asian Travellers
Thailand offers multiple visa choices depending on your group’s nationality and trip duration:
- Visa on Arrival (VOA): Available for Indian nationals and several Asian countries for stays up to 15 days. Cost is THB 2,000 per person, payable at the airport. Pro tip: Apply for eVOA online to save time at immigration.
- Tourist Visa (Single Entry): Recommended for longer stays or when combining multiple destinations. Apply at the Thai Embassy/Consulate in advance.
- Visa Exemption: Citizens from certain Asian countries (e.g., Singapore, Malaysia, Japan, South Korea) may enjoy visa-free entry for 30 days.
2. Documents Required for Group Entry
- Valid passport with at least 6 months validity
