Visa

Due to the recent change of rules and regulations on Thailand visa, staff members who are holders of UNLP are now required to have a visa before their arrival to Bangkok, Thailand. And, for those, who are traveling along with their family members who are holders of national passports, they need to consult the following links for visa requirements. There are certain countries that have concluded an agreement on the exemption of visa requirement for diplomatic or official passport or service/special passport with Thailand. Those countries are listed on the following web link:
