Five categories of people who are exempt from paying tourist tax

          Thailand is preparing to collect the “tourism tax” from foreigners who will travel to Thailand, which will start on 1 June 2023 onwards, but not all foreigners will be charged for entering. There are exemptions for certain groups of people who do not have to pay the fee.

1. Thai passport holders;
2. Foreigners holding diplomatic passports (Diplomat), and official (Official passports);
3. Foreigners with a work permit must enter the number of the work permit;
4. Foreign infants under 2 years old are exempt, and the parents must enter the date/ month/ year of birth;
5. Other details are as specified by the Ministry of Tourism.

          The fee will be collected first, and after identification and verification of documents, it will be refunded later.
