You must have a valid passport at least 6 months after your arrival in Thailand. Also, it is wisely recommended to have checked :

– Hepatitis A (absolutely essential);
– Typhoid (indispensable, except perhaps for a very short stay in Bangkok);

What happens if you stay longer to 30 days in Thailand

Let’s face it. If you are entering to Thailand with a 30 days visa and you overstayed, you are putting yourself in a complicated situation. The Thai authorities do not joke with visas overstay ! You can risk a whole lot of trouble from receiving a fine to worse, like risking prison or being prohibited to ever return to Thailand.

Our overall advice is to avoid overstay ! Though, if you are willing to stay longer than 30 days, you can apply for a 60 days tourist visa Thai Royal Consulates or Embassies before departure.
