Effective September 15, Thailand has reduced the visa-free entry period for tourists from 60 countries, including Israel, to 30 days, down from the previous 60 days. This change impacts citizens of numerous nations, such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Italy, France, Japan, Australia, Poland, Switzerland, and Canada.
This new regulation replaces an extended visa-free regime that began in July 2024, which allowed citizens from 93 countries to stay for up to 60 days. Thai authorities had previously indicated their intention to shorten this duration.
The updated rules are expected to primarily affect travelers planning extended trips within Thailand. Those wishing to stay longer than 30 days will need to consult with local immigration authorities and complete the necessary documentation.
The Israeli Embassy in Thailand advises citizens intending to stay beyond the 30-day limit to visit the official website of the Thai immigration service for instructions and requirements. The embassy also recommends verifying extension possibilities with local authorities in advance.
