The Transit Visa (TS) allows foreign nationals to transit through Thailand for up to 30 days per entry. This visa is required for travelers whose transit exceeds 12 hours and who need to leave the international transit zone or pass through Thai immigration. Nationals from visa-exempt countries do not need a transit visa as they can enter on their visa exemption. Multiple-entry transit visas are available for 60-day validity with up to 4 entries. Citizens of Pakistan must always obtain a visa when transiting through Thailand.
