The 33 Nationalities Eligible For Using Automated Gates To Enter Thailand By Late 2026
- Thailand will let 33 nationalities use automated immigration gates by late 2026, up from 2 currently.
- Singaporean and Hong Kong nationals already use the auto gates; 31 more nationalities were added.
- Eligible travelers must have visited Thailand at least twice, as the system needs their biometric data.
- First-time visitors must still queue for manual immigration; new passports require re-collecting biometrics.
- The gates aim to ease long immigration lines at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport by high season (Nov–Apr).
