Thailand is a major Southeast Asian destination for tourism, regional business, manufacturing, international education, retirement and location-independent work. Sri Lankan ordinary-passport holders must use the appropriate Thai e-Visa from 15 September 2026 because Sri Lanka is no longer in Thailand’s tourist visa-exemption or Visa-on-Arrival lists.
