Do you need a visa for Thailand?

If you're a citizen of Brunei looking forward to visiting Thailand, it's important to familiarize yourself with the visa requirements to ensure a seamless journey. This guide will provide you with the necessary information on how to visit Thailand without any visa complications, and how our services at Siam Legal can help you navigate the process smoothly.

Thailand Tourist Visa Exemption for Short Stays

Holders of Brunei ordinary or regular passports benefit from the tourist visa exemption scheme for short visits to Thailand. Additionally, pursuant to the bilateral agreements between Thailand and Brunei, individuals holding diplomatic, or official passports from Brunei are permitted to enter Thailand without a visa.

Here's what this means for Bruneians:

• The visa exemption permits citizens of Brunei flying into Thailand to enter the country without a visa, provided they can present proof of onward or return travel within 30 days.
• For those entering Thailand via land or sea from neighboring countries, a 30-day stay is also granted under this exemption, with a limitation of 2 entries per calendar year.

To ensure a hassle-free visit to Thailand, citizens of Brunei must:

• Have a passport that is valid for at least 6 months upon entry.
• Show evidence of departure within 30 days of arrival (this period may be extended to 60 days for those wishing to extend their stay).
• Demonstrate proof of accommodations and adequate funds for the duration of the stay.

Thailand Visas for Extended Stays

Bruneians intending to stay in Thailand for more than 30 days need to apply for a tourist visa at a Thai Embassy or Consulate prior to their departure.

Additional Information:
While Royal Thai Embassies and Consulates issue visas, the final entry permission is at the discretion of immigration officers at the point of entry. Entry may be denied if the officer has reasons to believe the traveler falls under the prohibited categories according to the Immigration Act B.E. 2522 (1979).
