Thailand Special Tourist Visa

 

Special Visa to Enter Thailand

The Thailand Special Tourist Visa (STV) is a special visa introduced by the Tourism Authority of Thailand for long-stay tourists who would like to travel to Thailand. It is one of the economic measures by the Thai government to restore the local tourism industry that has been affected heavily by COVID-19.

Update: If your country does not qualify for the STV, please be advised that the Thai Embassies and Consulates are currently issuing the normal 60-day tourist visa. Kindly contact your local Thai embassy for more information.
