Thailand visa for Taiwan passport holders

Taiwan passport holders can stay in Thailand for 30 days without a visa when arriving on or after 15 September 2026. The arrival day counts as day 1. One extension of up to 30 days is possible at an immigration office before your last day, for about 1900 baht.

On the new list

Taiwan is named on Thailand’s list of 60 countries and territories for the 30-day exemption, so the rules are the same as for most European and North American visitors.

Staying longer

For study, work or a longer stay, apply for a visa through the official e-Visa site; the Thailand Trade and Economic Office in Taipei handles applications from Taiwan.

Entering overland

Visa-free entry through a land border is limited to 2 times per calendar year on this passport.

Before you fly

  • Passport valid well beyond your planned stay
  • Return or onward ticket and your first hotel booking, in case the officer asks
  • The free TDAC arrival card, submitted in the window before you arrive

Worked example

Taiwanese travellers arriving on Tuesday, 1 December 2026 can stay until Wednesday, 30 December 2026: 30 days, counting the arrival day as day 1. With one approved extension, the last day becomes Friday, 29 January 2027. Leaving two days after the last legal day would mean an overstay fine of 1,000 baht at departure.
