Visa exemption for Mexico, Guatemala, Cuba passport holders

As of July 15, 2024, nationals of 93 countries and territories—including Mexico, Guatemala, and Cuba—no longer require a visa to enter the Kingdom of Thailand for tourism, business meetings, urgent or ad-hoc work lasting up to 60 days. A maximum 30 stay extension can be requested to the Thai Immigration Office. More information can be found in the Visa Exemption section (view Visa Exemption section).

Under this visa exemption scheme, travellers from 93 countries and territories only are requested to present their valid passport (strongly recommended to have validity not less than 6 months) at the Immigration control.

However, for other types/purposes of visit for nationals of Mexico, Guatemala, Cuba, and the other 90 countries and territories who enjoy the visa exemption scheme, will still require a visa.

The holders of ordinary passports from Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Haiti still require a visa to enter Thailand for all purposes of travel.

Visa application

From 1 January 2025 onwards, the Royal Thai Embassy in Mexico has been accepting all types of visa application only via eVisa platform: https://thaievisa.go.th/.

This convenient online system enables the applicants to apply for a visa to Thailand 24/7 and no longer requires them to submit original supporting documents and their passport physically at the Royal Thai Embassy in Mexico.

After the e-Visa application has been approved, the applicants will receive a confirmation email. The applicants are requested to print a copy of the confirmation email to present to the airline at the port of departure and to Thai Immigration officials in Thailand.

Notes:

• It is highly recommended that the applicant verify all personal information before submission, as the details provided cannot be modified, either by the applicant or by the Embassy. Incorrect information may result in a denial of entry to the country.
• Applicants are responsible for providing all required information, including their full name, as it appears on their travel document.
• In case the submitted supporting documents do not fulfill the certain type of visa application requirements, the Embassy may request for additional documents deemed necessary.
• Once the documents are submitted to the system in a complete and satisfactory manner, the visa issuance may take up to 5 business days.
• The charges for visa fee are non-refundable under any circumstances.
• The E-Visa will be valid on the day of issuance. It is the responsibility of travelers to ensure they use their visa before it expires. Typically, a single-entry visa is valid for 90 days.
