Who Needs a Business Visa?
All Indian citizens planning to travel to Thailand for official or commercial purposes must obtain a Thailand Non-Immigrant “B” Visa (Business Category) before entering the country.
This visa applies to individuals who intend to:
Attend client meetings, trade fairs, or corporate conferences
Conduct negotiations or project discussions
Participate in technical consultations, installations, or training sessions
Represent an Indian company at branch or partner offices in Thailand
