🇹🇭 Thailand visa requirements for Dutch citizens

Entry rules for Netherlands passport holders

Holders of a valid passport from Netherlands can travel to Thailand for tourism or short business trips without applying for a visa, for stays of up to 60 days. You'll typically just need a passport valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date, and you may be asked to show proof of onward travel or sufficient funds at the border.

The 60-day limit applies to the visit itself — if you plan to stay longer, work, or study in Thailand, you'll need to apply for the appropriate visa or permit before traveling.

Entry rules can change at short notice. Always confirm current requirements with the official Thailand immigration authority or your nearest embassy before booking.

How this compares

The Dutch passport ranks #12 worldwide, opening 164 destinations without a visa arranged in advance (125 visa-free, 31 with a visa on arrival and 8 with an eTA). Thailand is one of them.

This is not reciprocal — traveling the other way, Thai citizens need to arrange entry to Netherlands in advance (visa required).

Across South-Eastern Asia as a whole, 9 of 11 destinations are open to Dutch travelers without arranging a visa in advance.
