Can an Algerian traveller visit Thailand?

Most Algerian travellers apply for an e-Visa online before they travel — it's a quick form, usually approved within a few days when heading to Thailand for tourism.

The route most travellers use is the e-Visa (60 days). Stays go up to 60 days per visit.

There's a moderate amount of paperwork — approval is likely if your documents are in order.
