Why this verdict

Thai citizens are encoded from the explicit Timor-Leste visa-waiver cohort (Thailand ordinary-passport tourism waiver). This destination-wave matrix record is intentionally conservative: ordinary passport, short-stay tourist/business-style visits only. Paid work, residence, study, diplomatic/service passports, land-border authorisation, airline handling and immigration discretion can change the practical answer. Reconfirm on the official source before booking.

Conditional rules

Employment, private work, non-tourist purpose, or stay longer than 30 days Visa required

The bilateral ordinary-passport waiver is tourism-only and expressly excludes employment or private activity.
Apply for the standard tourist visa on arrival instead Visa on arrival

Up to 30 days. Timor-Leste Immigration's general tourist visa on arrival route remains the fallback where the waiver does not fit the trip purpose or document.
