🇹🇭 Thailand to France: visa and entry requirements 🇫🇷

Visa requiredOrdinary passport

Visa required · Schengen visa required for metropolitan France; maximum 90 days in any 180-day period across the whole area · A Thai ordinary-passport holder must obtain a Schengen visa before tourism travel to metropolitan France. The permitted short stay is limited to 90 days in any rolling 180-day period across all Schengen countries rather than a separate French quota, and earlier presence elsewhere in the area counts toward the same total. A long-validity multiple-entry visa issued under the Thai visa-cascade regime does not itself grant continuous stay for its validity period. The visa sticker can be narrower than the common ceiling, work and residence require different authority, and overseas French territories may apply separate territorial rules that must not be projected from metropolitan France.
