Visa Information & Application

Important Notice:
1. A visa to enter into Thailand is considered by Thai authorities as a privilege extended to that particular applicant, not a right nor a commodity. The visa may be refused or cancelled by officers in charge.
When applying for visas from the Thai Embassy, it is advisable to be courteous and cooperative, failure to do so may result in delay or refusal to process your application.

2. Norwegian citizens can stay in Thailand as tourists for up to 30 days without visa.
