About the Thailand Passport

#44Passport rank
114Mobility score
43Visa-free
58%Of world destinations

The Thailand passport ranks 44th, in the mid-table group. It provides visa-free entry to 43 destinations, and adding eTA, visa on arrival and e-Visa access, total mobility reaches 114.

Asia is the strongest region with 22 visa-free destinations, while Europe is the weakest with only one. Thai citizens can enter Japan, China, Singapore and Brazil without a visa, and Australia and the United Arab Emirates offer e-Visas. France and the Schengen area, the United Kingdom, the United States and Canada all require a visa arranged ahead of time. Travel within Asia is smooth, but the main Western destinations call for planning. Southeast Asian neighbors and several Latin American countries are easy additions to an itinerary. A second citizenship such as Malta Citizenship by Merit could add up to 66 destinations.
