A Thailand Tourist Visa is an official travel permission that allows Indian citizens to enter Thailand for tourism, leisure and short-term visits. It is issued by the Royal Thai Embassy or Consulate after reviewing the applicant's eligibility, travel intent, and supporting documents.

For Indian applicants, Thailand offers multiple entry options including the Visa on Arrival (VOA), the Tourist Visa (TR Visa) applied in advance, and the Thailand e-Visa for eligible applicants. Each option has different stay periods, fees, and conditions.

The most common option for planned holidays is the TR Visa, applied through the Royal Thai Embassy or online through the Thailand e-Visa portal. It allows a stay of 60 days per entry and can be extended once at a local immigration office.

Visa validity, permitted stay duration, and application procedures may vary depending on the selected visa type. Travellers should always choose the correct visa category based on their travel purpose before applying.
