Ces visas constituent la base d'un s\u00e9jour l\u00e9gal de longue dur\u00e9e, d'une autorisation de travail et de diverses autres activit\u00e9s au sein du Royaume. Contrairement aux visas touristiques, les visas non-immigrants permettent g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement des prolongations et offrent des voies d'acc\u00e8s \u00e0 des formes de r\u00e9sidence plus permanentes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Le syst\u00e8me d&#039;immigration tha\u00eflandais classe les visas non-immigrants par cat\u00e9gories, chacune correspondant \u00e0 un motif et \u00e0 une activit\u00e9 sp\u00e9cifiques. Chaque cat\u00e9gorie a ses propres exigences, sa dur\u00e9e de validit\u00e9 et ses possibilit\u00e9s de prolongation. Il est donc important de choisir le type de visa adapt\u00e9 \u00e0 vos activit\u00e9s pr\u00e9vues en Tha\u00eflande.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"types-of-non-immigrant-visas\"><strong>Types de visas de non-immigrant<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"non-immigrant-visa-b-business-and-work\"><strong>Non-Immigrant Visa \u201cB\u201d (Business and Work)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Non-Immigrant \u201cB\u201d visa serves as the primary vehicle for business activities and employment in Thailand. This visa category encompasses several subcategories designed to meet different business and employment needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"business-activities-non-b-business\"><strong>Activit\u00e9s commerciales (entreprises non-B)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Le visa d&#039;affaires permet aux \u00e9trangers de mener des activit\u00e9s commerciales, d&#039;\u00e9tablir des relations d&#039;affaires ou d&#039;investir. Les demandeurs doivent fournir un dossier complet comprenant la correspondance avec leurs partenaires commerciaux tha\u00eflandais, les documents de leur entreprise et une preuve de leur capacit\u00e9 financi\u00e8re. Le visa autorise un s\u00e9jour initial de 90 jours et peut \u00eatre prolong\u00e9 jusqu&#039;\u00e0 un an.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"employment-non-b-work\"><strong>Emploi (travail hors secteur B)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Working in Thailand takes two separate permissions and they are granted under different laws. The visa is the immigration side: clause 5(2) of the Ministerial Regulation lists <em>business<\/em> as a non-immigrant purpose. The right to work is the labour side, under the Emergency Decree on Managing the Work of Aliens B.E. 2560, whose section 8 forbids a foreigner to work without a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/fr\/glossary\/work-permit\/\">permis de travail<\/a> and whose section 59 allows a permit only to someone admitted for a purpose other than tourism or transit. In practice a mission will want evidence from the intended employer before issuing the visa, and the work permit application follows on arrival. <strong>The visa does not authorise work and the work permit is not a visa<\/strong>, which is the confusion that causes most of the trouble in this area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"teaching-non-b-teaching\"><strong>Enseignement (Enseignement hors B)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Une sous-cat\u00e9gorie sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9e existe pour les professionnels de l&#039;\u00e9ducation travaillant dans les \u00e9tablissements d&#039;enseignement inf\u00e9rieurs au niveau universitaire. Les enseignants doivent fournir une lettre d&#039;acceptation de leur \u00e9tablissement employeur et satisfaire aux exigences de qualification sp\u00e9cifiques \u00e9tablies par les autorit\u00e9s \u00e9ducatives tha\u00eflandaises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"visa-fees-and-validity\"><strong>Frais et validit\u00e9 du visa<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Single-entry Non-B visas cost 2,000 THB and are valid for three months. Multiple-entry visas cost 5,000 THB and are valid for one year. There is also a <strong>three-year multiple-entry business visa at 10,000 THB<\/strong>, and a three-year version at 5,000 THB for holders of an APEC Business Travel Card, both prescribed by the same fee regulation and both frequently overlooked. The initial stay period is 90 days, extendable annually based on employment or business requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"non-immigrant-visa-o-other-purposes\"><strong>Non-Immigrant Visa \u201cO\u201d (Other Purposes)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Le <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/fr\/glossary\/non-o-visa\/\">Non-O visa<\/a> category covers the purposes that do not fit the other letters, which makes it the most flexible of them. Those purposes are not open-ended: they are listed in <strong>clause 14 of the Ministerial Regulation B.E. 2545<\/strong>, made under section 34(15) of the Immigration Act, and there are eight. Family duties or accompanying a foreigner admitted on one of the other grounds, as a parent, spouse or dependent child of that person&#8217;s household, or as a private servant; supporting or being supported by a Thai national <strong>or by a person who holds residence in Thailand<\/strong>, in the same family relationships; duties for a state enterprise or a public charitable organisation; entering as an elderly person to live out one&#8217;s later years; <strong>the return of a former Thai national<\/strong> to visit relatives or to live in the Kingdom again; medical treatment; coaching a sport at the request of the authorities; and <strong>attending court proceedings as a party or a witness<\/strong>. The last three are real routes that most guides omit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"marriage-to-thai-citizens\"><strong>Mariage avec des citoyens tha\u00eflandais<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Foreign spouses of Thai nationals can obtain Non-O visas for initial stays of 90 days. Extensions require proof of marriage, financial documentation, and annual renewals. This pathway often leads to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/fr\/glossary\/permanent-residency\/\">R\u00e9sidence permanente<\/a> applications after meeting residency requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"retirement-age-50\"><strong>Retraite (50 ans et plus)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Clause 14(4) of the Ministerial Regulation puts it simply as entering <em>as an elderly person to live out one&#8217;s later years<\/em> and fixes no age and no sum. <strong>The age of 50 and the money come from a different instrument<\/strong>: clause 2.22 of the table annexed to <strong>Ordre du Bureau de l'immigration 12\/2568 du 23 janvier 2025<\/strong>, which sets the criteria for the annual <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/fr\/glossary\/extension-of-stay\/\">prorogation de s\u00e9jour<\/a><\/em> under section 35 of the Immigration Act. Those criteria are 50 years complete, and either income of not less than 65,000 THB a month or 800,000 THB on deposit in a commercial bank in Thailand. <strong>The deposit has a seasoning rule that this summary is too short to carry safely<\/strong>: the money must be in place for at least two months before the application and for three months after permission is granted, after which it may be drawn down but not below 400,000 THB. Our guide to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/fr\/extension-based-on-retirement-in-thailand\/\">retirement extension of stay<\/a> sets it out in full. The category does not carry a right to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dependents-of-workers-or-students\"><strong>Personnes \u00e0 charge des travailleurs ou des \u00e9tudiants<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Family members of Non-B or Non-ED visa holders can obtain dependent Non-O visas. This includes spouses, parents, and unmarried children under 20 years of age. Dependent visas are typically granted for periods matching the primary visa holder\u2019s authorized stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"volunteer-work\"><strong>Travail b\u00e9n\u00e9vole<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The regulation&#8217;s wording here is narrower than the word &#8220;volunteer&#8221; suggests: clause 14(3) covers <em>performing duties for a state enterprise or a public charitable organisation<\/em>. Unpaid work for a private association that is neither of those does not fit the limb, whatever the organisation calls the role, and applications are decided on confirmation from the organisation and the approval of the relevant authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"medical-treatment\"><strong>traitement m\u00e9dical<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Un traitement m\u00e9dical de longue dur\u00e9e en Tha\u00eflande peut vous permettre d&#039;obtenir un visa non-O.

Les prolongations sont li\u00e9es aux programmes d&#039;\u00e9tudes et peuvent aller jusqu&#039;\u00e0 un an. Les universit\u00e9s et les \u00e9tablissements d&#039;enseignement apportent g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement leur aide pour les demandes de prolongation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"non-ed-plus-visa\"><strong>Visa non-ED Plus<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">International students at bachelor\u2019s degree level and above can obtain Non-ED Plus visas.

The total potential stay reaches 10 years, making it attractive for serious retirees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"the-fundamental-difference-between-visas-and-extensions\"><strong>La diff\u00e9rence fondamentale entre les visas et les prolongations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Comprendre la distinction entre les visas et les extensions repr\u00e9sente l'un des aspects les plus cruciaux du droit de l'immigration tha\u00eflandais.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"visa-permission-to-enter\"><strong>Visa : Autorisation d&#039;entr\u00e9e<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A Thai visa is permission to travel to Thailand and ask to be admitted. Most of the time you obtain it abroad, from a Thai embassy or consulate, and that is the ordinary route. <strong>It is not the only one, and the exceptions are written into the regulation rather than left to practice.<\/strong> Clause 5 of the Ministerial Regulation on the criteria, methods and conditions for visa issuance, exemption and change of category B.E. 2545 says a non-immigrant visa is applied for <em>to a Thai embassy, a Thai consulate, or the Immigration Bureau, as the case may be<\/em>. Clause 11 gives Immigration Bureau officers power to issue a non-immigrant visa to a visa-exempt foreigner already in Thailand who wants to stay on for one of the clause 5 purposes, and power to <strong>change a tourist or transit visa into a non-immigrant one<\/strong>; clause 12 does the same specifically for someone setting up a representative or regional office. Clause 6 paragraph two is the visa on arrival, issued at the checkpoint itself. So the accurate statement is that a visa is normally obtained abroad, and that changing category inside Thailand is a defined power of the Immigration Bureau rather than a favour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"visa-validity-vs-permitted-stay\"><strong>Validit\u00e9 du visa vs. dur\u00e9e du s\u00e9jour autoris\u00e9<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Visa validity differs fundamentally from permitted stay duration. A visa\u2019s validity period shows how long it can be used for entry. This is usually three months from the date it is issued. The immigration officer at the port of entry decides how long you can stay. This time may be different from your visa\u2019s validity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, a tourist visa may be valid for three months. However, it only allows a stay of 60 days upon entry. Understanding this distinction prevents confusion and potential <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/fr\/glossary\/overstay\/\">d\u00e9passer la dur\u00e9e de son s\u00e9jour<\/a> violations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"extension-of-stay-permission-to-remain\"><strong>Prolongation du s\u00e9jour : autorisation de rester<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Les prolongations de s\u00e9jour s'obtiennent exclusivement en Tha\u00eflande aupr\u00e8s des bureaux du Bureau de l'Immigration. Ces demandes permettent aux \u00e9trangers de s\u00e9journer en Tha\u00eflande au-del\u00e0 de leur p\u00e9riode de s\u00e9jour initialement accord\u00e9e sans quitter le pays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"extension-process-and-requirements\"><strong>Processus et exigences de prolongation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Les demandes de prolongation standard n\u00e9cessitent les formulaires TM.7, les documents du passeport, des photos et le paiement des frais de 1\u00a0900 THB. Certaines cat\u00e9gories de visa ont des exigences suppl\u00e9mentaires selon le motif de la prolongation. Les prolongations pour motif professionnel requi\u00e8rent des justificatifs d&#039;emploi, tandis que les prolongations pour motif familial exigent une preuve de lien de parent\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"extension-limitations\"><strong>Limitations d&#039;extension<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Extensions don\u2019t create new visas but simply extend existing permitted stay periods. Some visa types allow multiple extensions, while others permit only single extensions. Tourist visas typically allow one 30-day extension, while non-immigrant visas can receive annual extensions based on qualifying circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"recent-changes-and-new-regulations\"><strong>Changements r\u00e9cents et nouvelles r\u00e9glementations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"thailand-digital-arrival-card-tdac\"><strong>Carte d&#039;arriv\u00e9e num\u00e9rique de Tha\u00eflande (TDAC)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Le changement le plus important r\u00e9cemment concerne tous les voyageurs \u00e9trangers entrant en Tha\u00eflande. \u00c0 compter du 1er mai 2025, tous les ressortissants non tha\u00eflandais devront utiliser le <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thailawonline.com\/fr\/thailand-digital-arrival-card-tdac\/\">Carte d&#039;arriv\u00e9e num\u00e9rique de Tha\u00eflande (TDAC)<\/a> entrer dans le pays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Aper\u00e7u du TDAC<\/strong><br\/>Le TDAC remplace l&#039;ancien formulaire d&#039;arriv\u00e9e papier TM6 par un syst\u00e8me num\u00e9rique.

That scheme ends on 14 September 2026: the replacement was published in the Royal Gazette on 31 August 2026, and from 15 September 2026 visa-exempt entry is 30 days for 60 countries and territories. The current position is set out below.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"tlo-status-block\" style=\"border-left:4px solid #2e7d32;background:#eef7ee;padding:16px 20px;margin:0 0 24px;border-radius:3px;\">\n<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<div data-no-translation>\n<p>Les annonces du minist\u00e8re de l&#8217;Int\u00e9rieur ont \u00e9t\u00e9 publi\u00e9es dans la Gazette royale le 31 ao\u00fbt 2026. Les informations officielles tha\u00eflandaises destin\u00e9es aux voyageurs fixent au 15 septembre 2026 le d\u00e9but du nouveau r\u00e9gime d&#8217;exemption de visa.

A 30-day stay still serves tourism while making that harder. The single 30-day extension at an immigration office remains available (1,900 THB).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"electronic-visa-system-expansion\"><strong>Extension du syst\u00e8me de visa \u00e9lectronique<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">January 1, 2025, marked the global expansion of Thailand\u2019s electronic visa (e-visa) system. Previously limited to select countries, the e-visa platform now serves all countries with Thai diplomatic missions. A separate Electronic Travel Authorisation for visa-exempt travellers has been announced several times and repeatedly deferred; it had not been brought into force when this page was last reviewed, and the Digital Arrival Card described above is a different thing.

The Destination Thailand Visa is 10,000 THB. An embassy or consulate collects the local-currency equivalent at the rate it publishes, so the figure in your currency will move; the baht figure is the one the regulation fixes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"payment-methods\"><strong>Modes de paiement<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">E-visa applications require credit card payments through secure online portals.

The system meets different needs and situations. It offers business and job chances with Non-B visas. It also supports family connections with Non-O visas. Recent technological improvements, including the e-visa system and TDAC requirements, modernize immigration procedures while maintaining security standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To succeed in Thailand\u2019s immigration system, you need to know the key differences between visas and extensions. You must also follow reporting rules and keep up with any changes in regulations. The 90-day reporting system, TM30 registration requirements, and re-entry permit procedures form essential components of legal residence management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alors que la Tha\u00eflande poursuit la modernisation de son syst\u00e8me d&#039;immigration, il est essentiel pour tous les r\u00e9sidents \u00e9trangers de se tenir inform\u00e9s des changements de politique et des exigences de conformit\u00e9. Choisir le bon visa est important, que ce soit pour un court s\u00e9jour d&#039;affaires ou une retraite de longue dur\u00e9e en Tha\u00eflande. Le respect des r\u00e8gles vous permet d&#039;y vivre l\u00e9galement et sans probl\u00e8me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Derni\u00e8re r\u00e9vision : 5 septembre 2026.<\/strong> The categories, who may issue a visa and where, and the fees on this page were read against the instruments themselves rather than against summaries.

That order amended the annex of Police Order 327\/2557, which was repealed on 26 September 2023 along with its amendments. The figures were and remain correct; only the instrument named has changed.) The four Ministry of Interior announcements of 31 August 2026 behind the visa-exemption paragraph were read from the Royal Gazette under a separate review and that paragraph was found correct and left alone. Six things were corrected as a result: the page said a visa can never be obtained inside Thailand, which the regulation contradicts in four clauses and which contradicted this page&#8217;s own FAQ; it listed five of the eight statutory Non-O purposes; it gave the retirement age and money as the rule for the visa when they are criteria for the annual extension, and omitted the seasoning period; it published the counter settlement rate for overstay as though it were the whole penalty; it converted the fees into US dollars at a rate that is out by about a third; and it carried a status note about the Electronic Travel Authorisation written in the present tense in July 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Ce que cette critique ne couvre pas, dit clairement plut\u00f4t que d'\u00eatre laiss\u00e9 pour acquis.<\/strong> Everything on this page that comes from immigration practice rather than from an instrument was not verified and should be confirmed with the mission or office handling your case: the documentary requirements listed for each category, the approving bodies named for the media, religious and film sub-categories, the Non-ED Plus arrangements, the O-X country list and its financial thresholds, the processing times, the payment methods, and the TM.30 and TM.47 mechanics, which our separate guides cover. Two specific claims were removed rather than corrected because no source we could produce supports them: a &#8220;WP.32&#8221; pre-approval letter, and a documentation exemption for Japanese nationals. Fees are stated in baht because that is how the regulation fixes them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"frequently-asked-questions\">Foire aux questions<\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list\">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1788700000000\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question\">Quels sont les principaux types de visas non-immigrants en Tha\u00eflande\u00a0?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer\">\n\n<p>Les cat\u00e9gories courantes comprennent notamment Non-B (affaires et emploi), Non-O (mariage, famille, personnes \u00e0 charge et retraite), Non-ED (\u00e9tudes), Non-OA et OX (retraite de longue dur\u00e9e), Non-IB (investissement BOI) et Non-M (m\u00e9dias).<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1788700000001\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question\">Quelle est la dur\u00e9e de validit\u00e9 d&#039;un visa tha\u00eflandais de non-immigrant\u00a0?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer\">\n\n<p>Un visa non-immigrant \u00e0 entr\u00e9e unique autorise g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement un s\u00e9jour de 90 jours, tandis qu&#039;un visa \u00e0 entr\u00e9es multiples permet des entr\u00e9es sur une p\u00e9riode d&#039;un an.
