Entry details

Holders of a Iran passport need a visa obtained in advance when visiting Thailand. The Iran passport currently ranks #182 of 199 worldwide, with 43 destinations reachable visa-free or via visa on arrival / eTA.

Thailand is middling in how freely it admits visitors, admitting 112 of the world's 198 other passports without a prior visa; its own passport ranks #111 with 82 open destinations. Access is actually lopsided the other way — Thailand citizens enter Iran more easily (visa on arrival).

In the opposite direction, Thailand citizens travelling to Iran face: visa on arrival.
