Thai Travel Tax

Disclaimer: The Travel Tax is not yet required. It will be implemented in late 2025.

All travelers must pay the Thailand tourist tax before entering the country.

This new system helps support tourism infrastructure, reduce overcrowding, and improve safety.

What is the Travel Tax for Thailand?

This is a new mandatory entry requirement** introduced to manage the country’s rising visitor numbers and improve local tourism services.

It applies to all short-term visitors, including those entering with:

  • Visa exemption (ETA)
  • Thailand tourist visa
  • Visa on Arrival (VOA)

Only Thai citizens, residents, and long-stay visa holders are exempt.

The revenue collected will help:

  • Develop second-tier cities and lesser-known regions
  • Fund transportation and public services
  • Improve emergency care and safety in tourist areas
  • Reduce overcrowding at popular destinations

When Do I Need to Apply for the Travel Tax?

You must complete the Thailand travel tax application before your arrival, just like the TDAC and Thailand ETA.

Without proof of payment, you risk delays at the airport or even denial of boarding.

It’s quick to apply, and you’ll need this document to enter Thailand without any issues.

Requirements for Travel Tax

There are several requirements for the Travel Tax. To complete your application, you must:

  • Hold a valid passport
  • Be travelling for tourism or short stays
  • Apply before your departure
  • Provide basic personal and trip details
  • Pay securely online

The tax is valid for one trip and must be paid per traveler, including children.

Can the Tax Be Revoked?
