Tourism

Applied at Thai embassy/consulate. Single-entry (TR) or multiple-entry (TRMT) available. Standard single-entry TR: 60 days, extendable once by 30 days at immigration office (THB 1,900 fee). Multiple-entry TR valid 6 months, each stay up to 60 days. CORRECTED official_url: the previous link (…5d5bcc2615e39c306000a309) was verified by direct HTTP fetch to resolve to the MFA 'Summary of countries and territories entitled for Visa Exemption and Visa on Arrival' page - it does not describe the Tourist Visa at all. Replaced with MFA's 'Issuance of Visa' page (title confirmed via fetch), whose Section 2 'TOURIST VISA' documents the base fee (THB 1,000/entry per the standard MFA schedule; higher USD-denominated fees such as USD 40 apply at specific embassies e.g. Washington DC), 3-6 month validity, and 60-day permitted stay - matching the figures already recorded here.

Multiple-entry, long-validity business visa for foreign businesspeople who need to visit Thailand repeatedly over several years for business purposes (not for employment)

Confirmed on the official MFA page (title verified via HTTP fetch: 'Three-Year Non-Immigrant Visa "B" (Business only)'). Distinct from the standard 90-day-validity Non-Immigrant B (Business/Work) visa already in this dataset. Valid for 3 years with multiple entries; each visit permits a stay of up to 90 days. Employment of any kind is strictly prohibited under this visa - it is for business visits only (meetings, inspecting operations, negotiating with partners), not for working in Thailand. Fee: THB 10,000, non-refundable, per the MFA page (~USD 400, consistent with the Royal Thai Embassy Washington DC's own USD-denominated fee schedule for this visa). Applied at a Royal Thai Embassy/Consulate-General in the applicant's country of residence; Consulates-General headed by an Honorary Consul-General are not authorized to issue this visa. Issuance is at the discretion of the consular officer. This was previously absent from the visa_types catalog even though the standard Non-B, O-A, O-X and IB variants were all present.

For business activities or employment. Requires letter from Thai employer or business. Initial 90-day stay; must obtain work permit and convert to 1-year extension of stay at immigration in Thailand.

Replaced with MFA's dedicated 'Non-Immigrant Visa "B"' page (title confirmed via fetch), which explicitly covers Category B (business/work), confirms the THB 2,000 single-entry/3-month and THB 5,000 multiple-entry/1-year fee structure (USD 80 at Thai Embassy Washington DC for single-entry, matching the the fee shown already recorded here), and also documents the related Business-Approved ('B-A') and Investment and Business ('IB') sub-categories - the same page already correctly used as official_url for this dataset's separate 'Non-Immigrant IB Visa' entry.
