From 15 September 2026, Russian citizens will be able to stay in Thailand visa-free for up to 30 days, with a possible 30-day extension through an immigration office. Travelers who enter before that date will remain subject to the previous 60-day stay with a possible 30-day extension.
According to sources, the basic visa-free period for Russian citizens will change after 15 September from 60 days to 30 days, while an in-country extension for another 30 days remains available. People planning a longer stay will need to account for their entry date and apply for the extension before the initial 30-day period expires. The change is most important for those intending to spend several months in Thailand without a long-term visa; sources also point to work- and study-related visa options for longer stays. Short-term visitors should factor the new deadline into their plans, although the extension option remains.
