This is compulsory for those seeking to engage in activities which are not considered gainful employment, such as conducting pre-sale negotiations or giving seminars and training.

They can do this a maximum of three times in a six month period by flight, or two times a year by overland crossing. However, if you are entering the country for business purposes, you must obtain a Thailand business visa, which allows for stays not exceeding 90 days.

Applicants who have travelled through one of Thailand’s designated Yellow Fever Infected Areas will need an International Certificate of Vaccination. Nationals of any of these countries will also either need to provide a certificate or concrete proof that they are not living in their home country or have not recently visited it.
